Is the powerglove the wii remote of its time

I dont know if you remember from 20 years ago the powergove for the NES. It was a glove that you used for NES games where it had motion inovation just like the wii remote. Of chorse it was not rearly as advanced and it barly worked but do you think that was the wii remote of its time. DO you think thats were the idea came from.

The powerglove is not the wiimote of its time cuz the wiimote is used in most games and the powerglove wasn't.

Not sure if the wiimote idea came from the powerglove through.

The Power Glove was a great stepping stone for the video game industry, but I don't think it was much more that.

When the Power Glove was released it was a novel idea for the time, but the technology was a little young. If anything I would think arcade style games and controls were more of factor when it comes to the Wii

the power glove was wonderful
it was the chuck norris of video game

the wiimote is more like the big Snes bazooka ... or even the dunk hunt gun

I love the Powerglove.

It's so bad.

I don't know if it was the Wii remote of it's time because the Powerglove was a complete failure. I'd be more likely to say that it was the Virtual Boy of it's time. An idea with potential but so poorly executed that it never took off.thebisonx

Didn't get the support the Wiimote had, and it wasn't as responsive.Generic_Dude

I love the Powerglove.

Yeah, the Powerglove was intended to be the Wiimote of its time. The basic technology was similar and it even had sensors to put on the tv. It failed to deliver for two reasons:

- It was rushed and not properly tested

- Only a few games were specifically designed for it, so with 99% of the titles it was clumsy.
