    The Power Glove (1989) is a controller accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System designed by the team of Grant Goddard and Sam Davis for Abrams/Gentile Entertainment, made by Mattel in the United States and PAX in Japan. Contrary to popular belief[citation needed], Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory, though it was an officially licensed product. It was the first peripheral interface controller to recreate human hand movements on a television or computer screen, and it proved to be a winner with the general public as almost 100,000 were made and sold in the US alone.[1]

    The glove had a traditional D-pad on the forearm as well as a program button and buttons labeled 0-9. A person would hit the program button and a numbered button to do various things (such as increase or decrease the firing rate of the A and B buttons). Along with the controller, a gamer could move his or her hand in various movements to control a character on-screen.

    It was based on the patented technology of the VPL Dataglove, but with many modifications that allowed it to be used with slow hardware and sold at an affordable price. Where the Dataglove could detect yaw, pitch and roll, used fiber optic sensors to detect finger flexure and had a resolution of 256 positions (8 bits) per 5 fingers, the Power Glove could only detect roll, and used sensors coated with conductive ink yielding a resolution of 4 positions (2 bits) per 4 fingers. [2] This allowed the Power Glove to store all the finger flexure information in a single byte. [3]

    Only two games were released with specific features for use with the Power Glove, Super Glove Ball, and Bad Street Brawler, a difficult to control beat 'em up, playable with the standard NES controller, but allowing exclusive moves with the glove. These two games were branded as part of the "Power Glove Gaming Series". Two more games, Glove Pilot and Manipulator Glove Adventure, were announced but never released. Super Glove Ball was never released in Japan. Since no games ever retailed in Japan, the Power Glove was sold only as an alternative controller. This decision damaged sales and eventually caused PAX to declare bankruptcy. Many other games including: Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Castlevania, Contra, Rad Racer and many other titles used the glove's abilities to play the game. To jump in Super Mario Bros and Metroid, you flicked your arm up quickly, Contra and Castlevania made you bend your pointing finger to shoot, and Rad Racer required miming the motions of steering the wheel of a car.

    One criticism of the power glove was in the way the glove interacted with Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!. While a glove seemed to be an intuitive interface for a boxing game, the limitations on the detection method for the device was a complication for this game. While punching was a natural motion (moving the glove towards the television), the return motion was set to be used for the super punch. The result of this setup was that the user would very quickly expend all their super punches without being able to save them for the most opportune times.

    lijkt me super onhandig, maar dit wil ik ook wel in mijn collectie... Vanuit Amerika kan wel wat kosten qua verzending. Onlangs kocht ik iets en moest 28 dollar verzending betalen. Daarbij kwam nog een invoertax van 10€ die ik moest betalen aan de post, anders kreeg ik het niet

    Ik denk wel dat hij meer dan 26 $ gaat opbrengen good luck

    Ik had vroeger een nieuwe ongebruikte powerglove. Deze was 'maar' 75 euro (+/- 100 dollar) waard. Ge komt het wel bijna niet tegen in België/Europa... Als je hem persé wilt (voor collectie) zou ik er voor gaan, maar dan enkel en alleen als de glove zelf boxed is.

    Check bij completed listings hoeveel ze tegenwoordig gaan, dan heb je een idee.

    Ik heb de Power Glove vroeger nog gehad toen hij pas uitkwam en ik kan je verzekeren dat dat kreng voor geen reet werkt!
    Filmpjes van Angry Nerd zijn zeker niet overdreven, zou het niet kopen tenzij als boxed collectible.
    Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
