Nintendo Power Glove Documentary 'The Power of Glove' 

WATCH TRAILER HERE. 

Anyone who is 30 or older remembers Nintendo in it's prime. Nintendo was the gaming king and always looking for new ways to innovate the gaming world. 

A new gaming controller invention called the "Power Glove" came on the scene in 1989 in hopes that it would revolutionize gaming devices. 

It looked very cool for the time, especially to young guys who were gaming. It looked high tech, you wore it on your hand and it was awesome. It was supposed to make you feel like a super hero or that you were a part of the game itself. 

Unfortunately (or fortunately), the Power Glove never caught as a gaming device and was eventually cancelled. However, the unique controller still has popped up over the years with people putting it to new uses. People used it as a musical device, collectible and even as a fashion statement.

The most notorious video game controller lived on. In this documentary they show the history behind the glove and how it helped to inspire a generation of gamers. 

Here is what the official website has to say about the upcoming documentary. "IT'S SO BAD.The Power of Glove is a documentary that chronicles the history and legacy of the Power Glove, a 1989 Nintendo controller that promised to forever change the way humankind interacted with technology. Originally released by Mattel, the Power Glove was the first mass-marketed, gesture-based video game controller, and its hype was immense.

Immediately after its release, however, gamers were disappointed by the Power Glove, and critics panned it as a worthless gimmick. Yet unlike many gimmicks and critical failures of the past, the Power Glove has not been simply swept under the rug. Over two decades after its release, the Power Glove continues to resonate with video gaming and technology fans, becoming the focus of art pieces, songs, videos, hacking projects, and other forms of cultural repurposing."
