Fisher-Price had something called the InteracTV which looks like it might fit your description. I don't think it's made any more, so I can't find an official site or anything (and it doesn't have a Wikipedia page), but a Google image search
turns up plenty of hits that might look something like what you're after.

When I was a toddler, say 2005, I had a Fisher Price video game that involved a pad that was connected wirelessly to my tv. I put different cards onto the screen of the pad, and that made different games show up on the tv. There was a game about Barney the dinosaur throwing a surprise birthday party, a game where Mr. Krabs forces Spongebob to capture all the jellyfish in Bikini Bottom, and a game about Cookie Monster. I had others that I don't remember. The cards on the pad had different buttons that you could choose. When you touched something on the pad, it made something happen on the tv.
