The Power Glove
The Power Glove was mainly used as a marketing gimmick for the movie called The Wizard, where they unintentionally, but correctly, labeled the Power Glove as being, “bad, so bad.”
The Power Glove promised lifelike control in a virtual reality like setting by allowing the player to use the glove to do things like punch their opponents, or drive a car by simply performing the motion in real life.
Instead what we got was a mind-bending and confusing peripheral that rarely worked and was inaccurate at best. Attempting to play any game with this thing required you to rewire your brain to simply understand the most basic of moves.
On top of that, in order to use the Power Glove on other games, you needed to type in a unique code using the number pad on top of the glove for each game you wanted to play. Although Nintendo has made some great peripherals in the past such, the Power Glove remains as one of the worst controllers of all time.
