Alfred Hitchcock meets Gunpei Yokoi in Duck Hunt 3D, the live action movie that picks up where that sinister duck hound left off. More »
In this, the 20th anniversary year of the Nintendo Power Glove, modder Matt Mechtley tricks it out with an accelerometer and bluetooth. But he still has to code some games to take advantage of it.
Kotakuite Sam P. sends in this pic he snapped while out on a date with his girlfriend who espied this Power Glove on a mannequin in a shop window. I’ve never really though of the Power Glove as the perfect accessory for a simple black dress, but what the hell do I know, I’m no Tim Gunn. But, it’s nice to know the old Power Glove is still getting some work unlike that lazy Konami LaserScope.
Fred Savage and Nintendo Power Glove vehicle The Wizard has at least one uber die hard fan in Ain’t It Cool News’ Monki. The movie is due for a screening at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas next month, with director Todd Holland joining stars Fred Savage and Luke Edwards for the showing. The director was recently interviewed by AICN to get a fanboy friendly inside look at the production of the movie, including some details on Nintendo’s involvement.
What may have seemed like a 90-minute commercial written by Nintendo suits may have actually been a different story. Seems that the Big N was at the movie studio’s beck and call, hopping to whenever the director needed Super Mario Bros. 3 footage or a backup Power Glove. Also, I didn’t know Tobey Maguire made an appearance!
You really do learn something new everyday. Unfortunately, today it’s about The Wizard.

Sometimes video game tattoos just make me laugh (with them and not at them) and this is definitely one of those cases. I certainly wouldn’t choose this as a tattoo for myself, but more power to the person who got it on whatever unnameable body part this happens to be (my guess is calf). The inclusion of the “It’s so bad” at the bottom takes this from highly questionable to actually pretty funny if not a little odd. Still, it’s really well done and the electricity looks great.
