The Leapster was the best-selling educational handheld game console in America and has sold about 4 million units and 12 million software cartridges since its inception, as of May 2007.

The Leapster TV, a screenless version with the same basic control layout in a console form, was released in 2005 and retired in 2007. The L-MAX console's size has decreased and the pen is now a wire instead of a thread. The Leapster L-MAX, which is a version that has one extra feature (an A/V TV output, which allows the user to view and hear gameplay on their television) was released in 2004. Released on October 7, 2003, the Leapster has since undergone several revisions and remakes. Both the Leapster and Leapster L-MAX were retired in 2014 and the Leapster2 was retired in 2019. In the case of art created on the device, the art can be further embellished online and printed with a printer accessible by the user's computer. Completion of certain learning activity can allow online games to be accessed. The games released since the Leapster2's release log user activity and will send this data to LeapFrog's 'Learning Path' system, which tracks educational milestones completed. In June 2010, the Leapster Explorer was released and LeapFrog announced a new commercial by Janimation. These additions give the ability to play a downloaded full game or short game including the ability to log data on gameplay, such as what has been learned by the user or art created by the user. The Leapster2 is essentially the previous system with an added USB port and SD card slot. On February 5, 2008, LeapFrog announced the Leapster2 handheld device as a successor to the Leapster. Along with a directional pad, the system features a touchscreen with a stylus pen that enables young users to interact directly with the screen. Its games teach the alphabet, phonics, basic math ( addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and art and animal facts to players.

The Leapster Learning Game System is an educational handheld game console aimed at 5 to 10-11 year olds ( preschool to fourth grade), made by LeapFrog Enterprises.
