"I love the Power Glove, it's so bad."

The Power Glove was a video game peripheral that came out for use on the Nintendo Entertainement System. Before there was the Wii-Mote, Kinect, or Playstation Move. There was the Power Glove.

I never owned a Power Glove, and I actually don't really care to own one unless I stumbled upon a pretty cheap one at a flea market.

This glove fit onto your hand and you could control all of your favorite video games with the power of your hand! No controller needed! How cool is that?

Well, apparently it was a little overly cool and the thing barely even worked. It was a pretty neat idea, but the Power Glove faded away quickly.

YouTube's The Gaming Historian made a video that you can see below, detailing the history of the Power Glove, and it's a great watch.
