The V.Flash Home Edutainment System, also known as V.Smile Pro in Europe, is a seventh-generation educational home video game console and spinoff from the V.Smile series of video game consoles developed by VTech and Koto Laboratory.[1] Unlike the V.Smile, this game console uses 3D graphics. This system is designed for kids aged 6 to 10.[2]
Although critics praised the V.Flash for improving on the V.Smile's base, the console's sales lagged behind the former.[3] VTech discontinued the V.Flash shortly after and shifted focus back to the V.Smile.
