description Nintendo Power Glove Overview
The Nintendo Power Glove is a wearable, third-party controller for the Nintendo Entertainment System, released by Mattel in 1989. It used ultrasonic signals and receivers around the television to estimate hand position and orientation, while finger sensors and forearm buttons added inputs. Difficult calibration, imprecise tracking, and limited dedicated software restricted its usefulness; Super Glove Ball and Bad Street Brawler were the two games given Power Glove-specific features.
