The Power Glove is a Nintendo Entertainment System accessory, released in 1989. Though an officially licensed Nintendo product, Mattel were the manufacturers in the United States and PAX in Japan.

This device connects to the NES serial port and is used as an alternative control method to the D-pad. The glove includes buttons and allows the player to control the game using hand motions. It is based on patented technology by VPL Dataglove.

Reception

Though this glove sold over one million copies, reception was poor because of bad controls.[1]
