Summary edit

Description

Nintendo’s Power Glove was a bold step toward motion gaming that ultimately failed due to being inaccurate, tiring to use, and having little game support. It was featured as a central element in the movie The Wizard (1989), though the movie is often seen as thinly veiled marketing for the controller akin to using Saturday morning cartoons to sell action figures. The line, “I love the Power Glove. It’s so bad,” became an ironic commentary on the Glove’s useability.
