Where are all these kids playing video games in factories? Seems like every other commercial for video games back then the kid was playing in a factory at night...wtf?
if they honestly where to remake this with todays technology, i would buy it. picture this, rebuilt, and instead of with the wii its with the connect. the glove can have sensors so you can actually get a feel of wht ur doing. maybe some light elctrical stimulation, so you feel when you pull a trigger. and to feel your hand sliding into a bowling ball it sends a wave down the finger as it enters so you feel it. im sure they can do something along those lines
@tegsnightmare4 well you still needed a working nes system lol. I knew the codes had to be inputted before the game was played. I'm from that generation and watched "The Wizard" I know how they work lol, still need a console that works and around here they are getting pretty scarce.
As bad as this and the Virtual Boy was, without them we might never have gotten the Wii and the 3DS. Nintendo had to learn from their mistakes in order to develop them!
Ahh, so much wasted money. My parents got so pissed off when they found out I wasn't playing this $100 piece of shit anymore after only a few days after begging them to buy one for me.
It's amazing how cool this looked to a 5-6-year-old back then, and when you look at it now, even in the commercial, it looks like a cheesy piece of crap lmfao
Nevermind the fact that it was outrageously expensive, tedious to set up, and didn't even work all that well in execution. What a pile of garbage. Mattel = epic fail on this one.
What did they have back then? A motion controller (Power Glove) and a stereoscopic console (Virtual Boy). What do they have now? A motion controller (Wiimote) and a stereoscopic console (3DS).
@tsimisde what are you talking about?!? The power glove works for me all the time. Whether I need something to wedge the door open or I'm punching some old lady in the face, the power glove NEVER lets me down XD
I love the power glove... It's so bad. I mean it's a piece of crap periphal ever. Good thing that now they had Wii, Kinect for 360 & of course, Playstation Move for PS3.
I remember when this was new. It was a flop nintendo product, but is was cool how they were able to manufactured it back in that early 90's, almost 20 years ago.
the way how the guy use the power glove made it look so awesome but in reality it really sucks in some ways. Back in those days commercials like that were so awesome. No bullshit :). I miss those days.
@RandomDirectors The closest you get is a glove called P5, currently sold by a company called Cyberworld Inc.
It was originally made in 2002 and it could only work on XP, then the drivers became open source and the new releases improved precision and compatibility.
Lol, they really made some awesome commercials for that piece of crap. I was lucky enough to have a friend that got it so I didn't have to get my parents to waste money finding out how bad it was. Anyone who thinks it worked like a Wii, clearly never tried to use it. It is NOT like what you see in the commercial.
it may have been a lame add on money grab thing and may have sucked but the wii remote is only marginally better with slightly more functionality. and only due to advances in technology at that. also it took them over 17 years to do that much. If you ask me its the average consumer who has changed not the product in regards to nintendos recent success with the wii.
@SaViOrStArDrAgOn95 Dude this was back in the 80's....if it wasn't for things like this you would have your precious playstation 3 or xbox 360, damn kids..
wow! i always wanted this when i was a kid but could never afford it. just got a Wii for christmas. how funny that nintendo knew how to do this so long ago and is now marketing it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
avgn a whiny bitch. this thing is bad ace. I also bet anyone that owned one beat off with it, just saying is all. That dude totally looked like Tom Cruise. I'm also kind of wondering where his game pad is cuz that's a tight setup there. Made me wish I had that tv back then
The damn thing doesnt work! bought one for 200$ and that didnt work right, so I bought a new one, didnt work ether.. -.-" bought 3 more cuz I was pissed... No one worked!
actually it is prototype to the wiimote! the powerglove was so bad because of it imprecise and diffcult controls. i found one in my aunt's attic! looked bad ass to me!
I had one of these it was horrible it was impossible to use and extremely hard to get anything done with the random controls it gave you in the book it had me moving my fingers independently of one another to do random things that it was supposed to do but never did, i ended up using it as a Halloween prop one year lol
And what the hell is "epis?" The "C" and "S" keys aren't even that close to each other. I concur with Jontiac. That comment is the penultimate epitome of Fail (the epitome of fail being the commentator his/herself.
