It’s been 30 years since the cult classic video game movie The Wizard, so in its honor we’re trying to get a Power Glove to work in 2020. While the film may have featured Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis and Beau Bridges, the real stars of the film were the Power Glove controller for the NES and the American reveal of Super Mario Bros. 3.

what a comolete crap accessory by nintendo lol
Is this guy reviewing drunk right now?
Well the movie tried to warn you “It’s so bad”
It looks like it is made out of that cheap vinyl that ages very poorly, cracks, never feels clean, gets sticky, etc
I wish my parents were as return-happy as I am as an adult. I return everything that either sucks or doesn’t work as advertised. This would have been $80+ back in my 1990-ish Christmas fund. My adult self would have returned it by noon Christmas day.
Ahh i got that regular show vibes..
To be fair, it worked pretty fire with Tetris
loool this was funny!
Is you dad Seth Rogen and your mom Dan Harmon? laugh for me baby, let’s hear it.
I never had a power glove. I never even had the big Nintendo 🕹️. But this was an E/I episode. And I’m a Christian, so thank you for editing the cursing. I’m now following you. Keep ’em coming.
what was that plastic robot arm around the same time
remember slot car hobby shops and the rc car stuff
the PG review of the power glove
“He’s a wizard. It’s the magic in him.” LMFAO
0:31 I can play Captain Skyhawk and Super Mario with the Power Glove, on a 54″ rear projection, so you must have either been using a defective one, or you were too vigorous
Is that Vincent Carabella? I remember him from the last two episodes of Button Mashing.
The Power Glove on The Wizard was the coolest thing I had ever seen as a ten year old.
I was born in 78, got a power glove for Christmas the year that it came out. And just like the host of the video, along with millions of people around the world have said.…“THE POWER GLOVE SUCKED” 😆😆😆
Even if the glove is bad it still looks sick
Vr from past
the irony is that they are having fun, something they say couldn’t be done. if the glove were made today, it would actually work as intended. anyone care to take a shot?
Yeah, the Power Glove was horrible but I think they should’ve given it another chance since the Wii. As the power glove didn’t do well then do with technological and data processing limitations. Because technology have improved with Wii and Switch (don’t start with me about the WiiU). Making a new power gloves (Dual) would be more practical to use due to motion sensory and gyroscopic tech. So it seems bit more practical to have such a thing these days (or back in 2006)
Super Glove Ball works perfect it’s like a Wii in the 90s, you can also shoot with your index finger!
You guys are super old. It’s really not that hard to work
I think Kung Fury’s Hackerman gave resurgance popularity to Power Glove
0:49 not the jojo poses with power glove
Someone needs to make these for vr. They look awesome ngl the 80s where ahead of their time.
these loud annoying add children give me anxiety; next video please
I still have mine in the box. I remember being disappointed because it didn’t work as advertised.
Yes I owned a Power Glove. And yes, it was likely due to the hype from the Wizard. And I still have it, as it makes a phenomenal display piece. Ultimately it was the most overhyped, disappointing accessory EVER. Never got it to actually work effectively on any of my games, as it was only compatible with a handful of titles at the time.
I’m glad I’ve never seen that movie. It’s so bad!
Not to be confused with The Wiz
my sister rented it from the video store.. don’t remember it being remarkable beyond how cool just seeing it in person was.
I had a weird thing for the controller until I broke it. It was a thing that snapped onto the controller so you could play with a joystick over the D‑pad. I remember it being hard to get on and harder to get off. I also had a very large controller that had a giant joystick, giant buttons, and switches between players. It took both sockets so co-op games didn’t work. I had gadgets for my Gameboy too, but it broke on its own. A shame because I really liked it.
If you ever in dibervill mississippi look up mr. Wizard store 🧙♂️
Thanks guys never had the power glove but power plug had it for snes
I love ps5 it’s so bad
Super Mærio
That’s a lie… It never worked.
Nintendo switch idea for the power glove
While the glove’s fabric is white or grey like the nes original, the forearm would have R and L buttons like the Nintendo Switch and the same buttons like the NES with a screen on the top right similar to the screen of the Nintendo Switch itself. The left and right long sides of the forearm would require 2 Nintendo joycons, and the screen can allow the user to select items for games. The front of the forearm (or the knuckle part if you prefer) would have a trapezoid light screen to interact with the TV or the switch. Unlike the original power glove that was for NES, the Nintendo switch glove would cover the whole arm from front to back. The palm would have a medium looking perfect ⭕️ Almost like iron man.
The most ridiculous Nintendo accessory was that stupid robot. The power glove was sick AF.
This was wii technology in its infancy
I did definitely had and still have my original Power Glove from 19 eighty something and Fred Savage was definitely a huge reason behind the purchase as we Loved the Movie The Wizard were they Show a sneak peak at Super Mario Bro’s 3 and the incredible looking Power Glove. It didn’t really work to well with to many games except for R.C Pro Am and maybe Excite Bike but the over all concept was so futuristic and a head of its time and who didn’t love Fred Savage from his classic tv moments I had a huge child crush on Winnie Cooper lol and his role he played in the Princess Bride if you didn’t like his content as a kid well that would just be “,Inconceivable! ” so Cheers to Fred and all his Hollywood Greatness as he plays the true Nintendo Kingpin himself Corey Woods and thank you for making my child hood great Live on Power Glove Live On! 👍
Need to revisit this for pc 🙂
Can this be made to play Wii sports with like motion detection? Maybe call it Sega sport
“I love the power glove, it’s so bad”
yo who watchin this in 2024?😂 bring back jeff bakalar 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Title should’ve been Power glove still doesn’t work 🤣
I think that you have to really use your childhood imagination to relive and appreciate all that “The Wizard” was… It only works with that factor and I think that despite it not aging well it is a journey worth taking again to remind us of the wonderment that it brought us in our younger years. Either that or Mattel needs to make toys that really do what the do in the movies. With that I’ll take my hoverboard from “Back to the Future” and be on my way!
I still have this somewhere, it never worked lol 😂 and I use to allow people to use to against me ALL THE Time
Captain N the game master.
