Oh COME ON! just get some damn tape and boxing gloves. | |
Yeah but these are probably cheaper then real boxing gloves, so yeah. | |
I'dunno... I got a real pair at a liquidation store for $3. Three bucks for something I can endlessly pester my roommate with seemed like a good deal. | |
Or you could just tape the Wii-mote and numchuck to your hands and there you go. But I guess it would be a pain taking it off, but its still free. | |
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Thank you Nintendo for making such a silly console that lends itself to such silly contraptions. | |
| |
OH GOD MY BRAIN! That goddamned movie... I am now feeling electric sensations somewhere between pleasure and pain, that movie was so aweful it was good. Couldn't you just tape the Wii motes to SOCKS and wear them on your hands? or any sort of gloves? | |
I am totaly going to do that when this game comes out now. | |
So we've actually come full circle on Nintendos foray into motion detection. And to people who say they could just use regular boxing gloves - if they had those, why would they even need a Wii? Why not use an actual bag? | |
Well I didn't think it was possible but Nintendo has made it more obvious that they will go to any lengths to sell any kind of product. | |
Actually, these are a third party peripheral, like all those Ipod headphones that light up to the music. | |
except for the tape costs hehe | |
Who doesn't have tape? | |
But you cant magically create tape, or go into another house, use the "take object" button and go | |
I remake of punch out would be fun but thats why Wii Sports came with boxing. Thats like buying a baseball game for the Wii even though you already have Wii sports. I would get the gloves and use them for about a week then after that they'd just sit in my drawer and collect dust :P | |
And yet someone can summon these gloves from thin air? There is no justifiable circumstances for getting these. | |
Yes there is. To look like a complete goof. Who doesn't want that from time to time? I mean, if you're going to play a Wii, might as well play No More Heroes while wearing these and using the Wii Sports baseball bat peripheral. No that's how you enjoy video games. | |
So you're saying youy wouldn't look like a dork if you had your controller taped to your hands, around the wrong way? | |
That's pretty awesome I would love to play a boxing game with these not only does it make the experience more real minus the feeling of being punched in the face. It be a good thing to use for a work out. | |
Ordinary Object + Tape + Wiimote = Profit. Everyone, jump aboard! We're gonna be rich! | |
How the hell would you press the buttons with the gloves on? Your nose? | |
I was thinking the same thing. Seems a bit impractical to take your hands out every so often to go through a menu or such and then put it back on, and if you needed to pause you'd be in trouble. | |
So tape the controllers to your palms. | |
Oh Nintendo your console has lead you to create more gimmicky accessories than good games. | |
They still look fun though and if they were free with Punchout I would defiantly use them. | |
Nintendo + gimmicky accessories is as old as the original NES. | |
Who doesn't remember the bazooka thingy? | |
News just in: Nintendo to release a full sized car you can put your Wii-motes in to be complaint with all racing games on the Wii. Only $20,000! More at eleven | |
Who doesn't remember ROB? Well, the NES was before my time, so me. Don't judge me. | |
Of course not. You'd look stylish, and like a cool cat. | |
Hmmm, that might just be crazy enough to work. Especially if it were an actual car that was Wii-compatible, in the same sense that those things are pretty much actual boxing gloves. | |
I was expecting to see something Powerfist-esque from the title but thats still an intresting way of using the Wii controller all you need now is a dance matt to move around | |

Punch-Out!! With These Power Gloves
Don't swing at the air with just your Wii Controllers, when you can throw punches in style.
So far, boxing on the Wii has been a decent affair, but it lacks a certain something. Players who crave a little more realism with their virtual fisticuffs now have an opportunity to kick things up a few notches, thanks to the Everlast Nintendo Wii Boxing Gloves.
For $30, you can pick up Everlast's answer to Wii boxing blues. The real, 3.8 ounce training gloves are made with synthetic leather and feature fitted straps to secure the Wii Remote and Nunchuk attachment into player's right and left hands respectively. The gloves also feature an opening in the bottom to allow easy access to the buttons.
While current boxing game offerings on the Wii give little incentive to spend $30 for a short-lived fix, the upcoming Punch-Out!! remake slated for release in 2009 might just make it worth the expense.
