Leapster TV of V-Smile for two players @ same time: Where is the additional adapter and joystick sold for the leapster TV and how do I know which games can be played together at the same time?

I found the second controller on leapfrog.com. It was priced at $19.99. It also said to look for games that said 2 player (Leapster Arcade). Hope that is helpful.

They're still not available and there's no information as to when they'll be available. Since the new Leapsters have come out, I'm starting to think that they're no longer supporting this product. The recharging system is on "backorder" and there haven't been any new L-Max games in years (even though you can use the Leapster games as well, their website says they won't show as well on the tv).

Our game works just fine on LeapPad 2. Did you put game in the slot? Then turn it on and it should work just fine. These games are compatible with all LepPads.

I don't have the V.motion but have both the V.smile and Leapfrogs Clickstart computer which both are for the same age group as the v.motion. I got those two last year when my son had just turned 2 and he was able to use them expertly right from the beginning so I am sure your son will be able to use the V.motion, If your not sure you could always buy one of the original V.smile games that are suitable for younger kids like the winnie the pooh one as the V.motion takes V.smile games and the V.motion can also be used without the 'motion' feature. I am planning on getting this for my son this year and he will be just after turning 3.

Hi,Well I have been trying to buy one of these for like 2 months now. It was always sold out everywhere. Finally at Target the manager told me that Leap Frog had stopped sending them out to retailers and also recalled the ones they had in stock. Mainly because they found a problem with the leap pads, some sort of glitch. I called Leap frog and they still don't know when they will be out and fixed. This is probably why you still have not received your new one. Hope you do... Take cae!

I've been looking at the Vsmile and the Leapster with the stylus. Is this what you are comparing? I'm wondering if the graphics, game quality, etc. are equal, but I'm also wondering if the Leapster with stylus is easier to run for 3 year olds. The Leapster and its cartidges are more expensive, but the stylus on the Vsmile is used on a screen the is separate from the graphics screen. Do you know anything about these questions? I've only got so much money, and I'm concerned about making the "wrong" choice.Thanks!

I'm in the same boat and would love to hear an answer to your question! The main difference I've gathered in my research (besides the games) is that with the Vtech you can add a memory card and with Fisher Price you cannot. The Vtech also takes video, but from the reviews it seems that it's not good enough to be worth having.

we own the original leapster but from any knowledge that ive had I am about 90% sure they made the leapster two so it can still play all the old games. but a leap pad and leapster are two different components all together so a leapster2 yes a leap pad im gonna say no.

According to the Leapfrog website this game works with, "LeapPad Ultra, LeapPad2, LeapPad1, LeapsterGS and Leapster Explorer." I hope this helps!

A leap pad is not a leapster, and i believe this game will not work on a leap pad. As the other answer says, if a game is made for leapster Explorer it is compatible with the Leap pad, but it looks like this game is made for the older Leapsters.

I do not know either - I thought it was specifically for the leap pad system. It was a gift - so I do not have access to it. Sorry - good luck.

Just wondering if anyone knows- can you buy the wireless motion tags separately from the game?? I just called Hasbro and the girl had no idea, she forwarded me to consumer affairs, but I keep getting a busy signal. Since there are games for two players, I assume you can buy motion tags, but where?? My four year old already lost one tag!! HELP!!**FOLLOW UP NOTE** You can only get the motion tags separately if you call Hasbro. If you need replacement tags, call 800-844-3733 and they will ship you your tags. **

My daughter got both Innotab and LeapPad and I am very upset that we can't find the Innotab stylus or a replacement. The LeapPad not only came with a string to attach the pen, but an EXTRA pen!! I have never been a fan of Vtech products because for over 20 years they have created products that are "hot" one year then the following year, you can't find any accessories. Leapfrog products have proven time and time again to be a better investments. If anyone can figure out where to get a stylus let me know, because this is ridiculous!

My son is 2 1/2. I bought him the Leapster TV Learning System. He can play that really well since the controls are bigger. Check the games though since for many you need to be able to recognize letters, numbers, etc. His favorite is the Cars one. My daughter (5 years old) has the Leapster L-Max & was 3 1/2 when we got it. It took her several months to get good at it. (The new Leapster comes out this week)

Hi. I have both handheld versions, which I love both. Though I do have to say that my vpocket is doing something funky, and that disappoints me because neither systems get used enough to be in poor shape. I really take care of them. I was looking to by the vflash, but read some terrible reviews, and then again, they just did a toy review toy special on TV and gave it a thumbs way up high from all the kids and teachers who played with it for over 2 months, kids were engaged just watching other kids play - and of course, teachers loved it because of the educational value. I think looking for kick butt graphics and the like is hopeless in the educational department. Between my two handheld versions, I would call them close to equal, with Leapster being ahead.

It should say what game devices it's capitable with. We have a leapster (not a gs) and a leap pad 2 and most games are capitable with both. All but one story one we have leap pad only.
