Vtech is pretty widely known for devices like cordless and DECT phones, the company also makes a wide range of electronic games/toys for kids (with big brands like Thomas the Tank Engine in the fold). This week they joined a number of other toy and game manufacturers by announcing their own kid-focused motion sensing console system called V-Motion.

This $69.99 system lets users add games in the form of “smartridges”, and includes network connectivity via USB to unlock game levels, but most importantly includes a wireless motion-sensing controller to let the kids get both a physical and mental workout using the system’s educationally-focused games.
