Stupid Wii Accessories: $30 Wii Boxing Gloves

Nov. 20 1:48 PM by Alicia Ashby

You know, I thought the worst of this was in the past, but this may the stupidest of all Stupid Wii Accessories. Yes, these gloves are very nicely made (being official Everlast manufacture), although they will contribute exactly nothing to your gameplay experience. No, what makes the Wii Everlast Boxing Gloves monumentally stupid is the bizarre write-up they received in the New York Times article announcing their availability:

For gaming enthusiasts, the Wii Everlast Boxing Gloves fulfill the promise that the Power Glove for Nintendo offered in 1989.

The Power Glove initially generated a huge buzz, before people found it difficult to use  especially to simulate boxing in games like Mike Tysons Punch-Out!!

While the standard Wii remote was a major improvement in interactive gaming, the gloves, created by Everlast Worldwide and Company X Accessories and priced at $30, offer a much better virtual-boxing experience.

No it doesn't, you stupid, stupid person.

Comments

Well, I think we have a new entry for the stupidest Wii accessory of all time.

 

That is gloriously stupid.

 

So, is it sad that the first thing I thought was that those might be cool with wireless chucks? <.<

 

I think without a wireless Nunchuk using them would be pretty awkward.
