    I never appreciated the fact that when other nostalgia channels display their nes games, it’s in a glass case all protected. But when James shows his stuff, it’s all over the place and the chords are all tangled and shit like how you would picture a genuine gaming room

      Nintendo is made to be played in a basement with old wood paneling, brownish carpeting, furniture from the 70's or 80's, and on a barely working CRT TV. AVGN has the perfect setup.

      Nerd has just evolved i mean are you the same dude you were in 2006? he’s changed the same way a lot of youtubers do, they get older and it sucks but we still have the old videos so it’s not a loss just a change :)

    • @aarondumas1629
      @aarondumas1629 6 років тому

      But ok, it was just a movie and, in fact, this glove really could be a bit clunky and messed up, but like ANY move sensor (Kinect, PS Move and the own Wii sensors), theres a correct distance and environment care you need to have for a better use of it (which i believe many people that tried this in the long of all this years don't have figured).

    you know, the power glove actually gets you a LOT of envy these days. since my dog chewed the cord off, i started wearing it to play laser tag. people started calling it a "laser gauntlet" at the place i play at.

    I can honestly say if they made a remake of this controler I'm sure it would be 90 times better and more usable. I mean look what microsoft did with the kinect. I'm pretty sure if someone took the power glove and remade it, it could be usable.
