Though it was an officially licensed product, Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory. Rather, it was designed by the team of Grant Goddard and Sam Davis for Abrams Gentile Entertainment (AGE), made by Mattel in the United States[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove Now can all fanboys please stop fighting over who copying who. |
Actually, you are years ahead.
The NES zapper was a gun that used motion and light beams to control an on-screen cursor for shooting games, and was released in 1984, five years before the power glove.
In all technicality though, the computer mouse was the first motion control device for gaming, and by a single person in the 60s (it was wooden, btw). The first commercially available mouse was available from Xerox in the early 80s, and the first successful mouse was available with the oldschool Apple computers in 84.
Sorry, none of our current console makers are responsible for motion control.
Nintendo brought it to consoles, however... but their technology has BARELY improved in this aspect over almost 20 years now. They are still using cheapo lightbars that are incredible inaccurate and a hassle to deal with.
At least Sony and MS are taking it a step further.
