That was more of a satellite...thingy. I don't think it connected anywhere else. Could be wrong, though, seeing as how it never left Japan. |
XBAND. It was released in the US for SNES and Genesis. I still have mine. I played Street Fighter (don't remember which one), Mortal Kombat 3, Super Mario Kart, and NBA Jam on it. You plugged your phone line directly into the XBAND and hogged the phone all day so your family got pissed, same as modem-to-modem Doom 2. Great times.

Basically moving a finger was pressing a button. It wasn't motion controls. Also what was up with those retarded rumble packs that the N64 used(also not all the games had rumble so that wasn't from the get go either.) |
I have a Power Glove and I have Super Glove Ball for the NES. You are a floating hand in the game. The game can detect my motion in all 3 axes, vertical, horizontal, and DEPTH. It is a motion sensing controller. It doesn't have accelerometers in it like the Wii, so it doesn't detect gestures (although you can map button presses to finger movements). It uses triangulation with 3 IR pointers you put on your TV. One on top, one on the corner, and one hanging down the side, all connected by a big L-shaped chunk of plastic.
Super Glove Ball was made from the ground up for the Power Glove, and it is amazing. It's kinda like a cross between racquetball and a 3-D Arkanoid. You can get crazy power ups to have several balls at once, and you can even catch the balls and throw them somewhere else by making a fist and letting go. It's too bad they only made 1 more game specifically for the Power Glove and that it was the worst piece of shit ever (Bad Street Brawler), so they stopped making games for it.
