It seems the legacy of the infamous Power Glove controller for the NES lives on, so much so that one adventurous young individual has cracked a couple of them open and replaced their guts to create an interesting range of winter hand accessories.
The connections are cut from the device and then the innards with wiring and power for LEDs that light up various parts of the glove to really let your fashion sense shine. Of course it does not function as an actual Power Glove controller, but it looks the business and that's what counts. If you're interested, be expected to pay $150 plus the cost of shipping.

They had that on the last episode of the Goldbergs! Awesome show.
As for the glove itself, I was never interested in it then or now.
But my left hand will be so cold . . . . .
@SuperMalleo Actually that video isn't reliable. I have the power glove and the games work fine. I even beat Super Mario Bros. 1 with it. He probably just had a faulty one or had problems with the sensor bar or bad lighting.
I will never understand why people are so insanely fascinated with LED lights.
I would never pay that much for something so pointless.
I should be humiliated to admit that if i had the cash id buy that. but alas I'm broke.
The only reason I'd want a Power Glove now, is if I was dressing like Captain N for Halloween or a gaming convention. That LED design looks cool, but $150 is fairly high...especially since there's two different sizes of the glove.
Power Glove U incoming !
I would love to get an original power glove. Not so much to wear, but just because it is so iconic. I honestly don't think I could pull the look off.
I WANT that Iron Man one . I would genuinely wear that out.
I wonder how many of those power gloves I can shove in his hair.
my brother actually still has his
Now I want to buy a Power Glove to use as a motorcycle glove for my throttle hand. Might look a little weird using two different gloves though since they don't come in lefty's.
I had a power glove and tried selling it in a yard sale and no one bought it. It was before its time and did not work as advertised. I was very disappointed. Useless.
