Why Was the Nintendo Power Glove a Failure?
<p>There have been a lot of video game accessories over the years but some were hits and some just get remembered as gimmicks</p>

It was as frustrating as playing the <a href="https://www.everything80spodcast.com/etvideogame/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Atari E.T video game</a>.
