"The Gauntlet is based on patented technology first used in the Nintendo Power Glove, a successful gaming tool developed in the early 1980s." Successful? The Power Glove made it almost impossible to play games that weren't designed specifically for it (which was just about every game). Not many people bought it and the people who did hated it. Why bring back an obviously bad idea for a gaming peripheral?

: A company called Cybernet Systems announced they were developing a product called 'The Gauntlet', a Nintendo Power Glove-type device.
: Just thought it was interesting to see old videogame ideas come back.
