If that's so, then why did the Power Glove fail so bad that it caused PAX to go bankrupt back in the 90s? I honestly think Nintendo got lucky this time around, as the last time motion controls were attempted, it failed |
I am seriously getting sick of people who don't know squat about retro video games getting on here and spouting their opinions as fact. The power glove was a piece of garbae, that is why it failed. If the Power Glove even remotely resembled the way the Wii played then it would have taken off and PAX/Mattel would be the industry leader.
Look at that, notice all those keys up there. Those were used to input codes for each and every game in the NES library released when the glove came out. In order to play with the glove you had to enter a huge code. Definately not user friendly. It "worked" for every game out there but only one game was made specifically for it the pack in game Super Glove Ball. Anyone who played that game knows that it wasn't necessarily terrible it just lacked polish but the controls worked. The problem really stems from the other 400 or so games that were supposedly compatible. None of them worked well and often times you ended up playing the games using the provided D-pad and two button configuration provvided, if you even played with the damn thing at all.
Watch this Video for emphasis:
Do you see any reason at all why you should play with this?
Further emphasis
Which one looks more fun?
EDIT: If you look in the picture frame in the backround you can see how what they "motion" actually translate to what they see on screen. Unlike th powerglove of course.
