3-in-1 Smart Sports
© 2009 Fisher-Price, Inc.
Can't afford a Wii? This plug & play motion-controlled game system comes with three foam-covered wireless sports accessories (a tennis racket, baseball bat and golf club) that send signals to a battery-operated base that plugs into the A/V ports of your TV. Designed for younger children, all the attachments fit in the storage unit. When you choose one of the three sports accessories, the base unit automatically launches the sport, removing a layer of complexity. Content includes three games per sport, for a total of nine games -- each with embedded school-related content covering counting, letter recognition, shape matching and so on. Two AA batteries are required for the controller and four AA batteries for base unit. See also UltiMotion Swing Zone Sports, released last year from Jakks Pacific, for older players.
