Oh, man.

4
00:00:27,596 --> 00:00:29,585
(Finebros) You are reacting to this.

5
00:00:31,045 --> 00:00:32,542
Um...excuse me?

6
00:00:32,542 --> 00:00:33,701
It looks like a robot arm.

7
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:35,070
Is it gonna electrocute me?

8
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:35,982
It looks really dope.

9
00:00:35,982 --> 00:00:37,234
What can I control with this?

10
00:00:37,234 --> 00:00:38,767
Is this old or is this new?

11
00:00:38,767 --> 00:00:41,439
This is either a really 
new piece of technology

12
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:43,449
or a really old piece of technology.

13
00:00:43,449 --> 00:00:45,156
Oooooh!

14
00:00:45,156 --> 00:00:47,454
I watch Angry Video Game Nerd

15
00:00:47,454 --> 00:00:48,938
and I totally saw his review

16
00:00:48,938 --> 00:00:51,713
and he was just like, "This sucks!"

♪ (punk rock music) ♪

18
00:00:55,095 --> 00:00:56,945
(Finebros) What would be your guess
as to what this is?

19
00:00:56,945 --> 00:00:59,199
Like you move your hand 
and it moves something...

20
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:00,248
somewhere else?

21
00:01:00,248 --> 00:01:03,111
It's a game control 'cause of the D Pad.

22
00:01:03,111 --> 00:01:05,457
I'm assuming you control 
things with your hands,

23
00:01:05,457 --> 00:01:06,532
like in the game.

24
00:01:06,532 --> 00:01:08,964
It's a video game glove.
It was like the first Wii.

25
00:01:08,964 --> 00:01:11,738
(Finebros) So what it is
is it's called the Power Glove.

26
00:01:12,248 --> 00:01:15,446
- It was made in 1989--
- No way.

27
00:01:15,446 --> 00:01:17,982
I haven't heard about this
and this has been out for so long.

28
00:01:17,982 --> 00:01:19,510
I've never even seen one of these.

29
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:22,148
(Finebros) It was an accessory
to play video games

30
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:23,524
on the original Nintendo.

31
00:01:23,524 --> 00:01:25,572
The concept was 
you don't need a controller.

32
00:01:25,572 --> 00:01:26,731
You can play with your hand.

33
00:01:26,731 --> 00:01:28,411
And we're not using these today? Why?

34
00:01:28,411 --> 00:01:29,436
This would be awesome.

35
00:01:29,436 --> 00:01:30,717
How come I've never heard of this?

36
00:01:30,717 --> 00:01:32,138
So this is like the Wii before the Wii.

37
00:01:32,138 --> 00:01:34,042
If you paired this with the Oculus Rift,

38
00:01:34,042 --> 00:01:36,908
this is Next Gen.

39
00:01:36,908 --> 00:01:38,274
This is like the future right here!

40
00:01:38,274 --> 00:01:39,585
The past/future!

41
00:01:39,585 --> 00:01:41,986
(Finebros) Okay, so we're going to
hook things up and let you

42
00:01:41,986 --> 00:01:43,939
- play a game using the Power Glove.
- Really?

43
00:01:43,939 --> 00:01:44,661
Yes!

44
00:01:44,661 --> 00:01:46,316
Are you guys gonna explain it to me?

45
00:01:46,316 --> 00:01:48,402
(Finebros) The way it worked is 
you'd have to hook up sensors

46
00:01:48,402 --> 00:01:52,169
to your TV, which we've done here,
and it would use ultrasonic sound waves

47
00:01:52,169 --> 00:01:53,837
to connect to the Power Glove.

48
00:01:53,837 --> 00:01:56,905
Like a Wii sensor, but older?

49
00:01:56,905 --> 00:01:58,151
Wow, that's huge!

50
00:01:58,151 --> 00:02:00,017
Now it's like the Xbox Kinect
is, like, this big.

51
00:02:00,017 --> 00:02:02,342
(Finebros) But it had some issues,
including it being difficult

52
00:02:02,342 --> 00:02:04,704
to set up with what it came with,
so even we had to tape it down

53
00:02:04,704 --> 00:02:06,718
- to keep it in place.
- The struggle!

54
00:02:06,718 --> 00:02:08,425
(Finebros) Okay, so go ahead 
and put on the Power Glove.

55
00:02:08,425 --> 00:02:10,385
Is my arm supposed to go through there?

56
00:02:11,105 --> 00:02:12,480
I feel like such a dork.

57
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,065
It kinda feels tefillin.

58
00:02:14,065 --> 00:02:16,321
So if you had this, were you 
the coolest kid in the world?

59
00:02:16,321 --> 00:02:18,501
I can feel the energy 
flowing through my veins.

60
00:02:18,501 --> 00:02:19,777
I feel powerful.

61
00:02:20,387 --> 00:02:22,287
That's where the name 
"Power Glove" comes from.

62
00:02:22,287 --> 00:02:24,237
(Finebros) So you are going to play 
a game made specifically

63
00:02:24,237 --> 00:02:26,375
for the Power Glove 
called Bad Street Brawler.

64
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:29,427
Then once it's registered, 
lifting your hand up jumps,

65
00:02:29,427 --> 00:02:32,664
lowering your hand ducks,
thumb and index finger punch.

66
00:02:32,664 --> 00:02:35,006
Oh, so it's not even as cool 
as I thought it would be.

67
00:02:35,006 --> 00:02:36,557
So all I have to do is this for fighting?

68
00:02:36,557 --> 00:02:38,014
So I'm gonna be pinching people, basically.

69
00:02:38,014 --> 00:02:39,041
Why is this punch?

70
00:02:39,041 --> 00:02:40,856

So can I actually play this game

89
00:03:12,698 --> 00:03:14,985

doing this for 45 minutes?

there were very specific ways

so here we printed out how to do

00:05:37,089 --> 00:05:39,671
things for Punch Out on the Power Glove,
which you could find in the top right.

"When you master this program,
you will be able to do things

173
00:05:52,249 --> 00:05:53,861
I only press two buttons 
instead of doing all this [bleep]?

174
00:05:53,861 --> 00:05:54,719
What do you mean?

175
00:05:54,719 --> 00:05:56,715
(Finebros) So when the Power Glove 
came out, it was a very big deal.

176
00:05:56,715 --> 00:05:58,029
Now that you've used it,

177
00:05:58,029 --> 00:06:00,856
would you actually say 
this is a good way to game?

178
00:06:00,856 --> 00:06:01,627
No!

179
00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:02,485
Absolutely not.

180
00:06:02,485 --> 00:06:04,795
It's so difficult to know what to do.

181
00:06:04,795 --> 00:06:05,996
It hurts your arm.

182
00:06:05,996 --> 00:06:11,286
If it was refined, as a Next Gen thing,
I think it would work.

183
00:06:11,286 --> 00:06:15,184
I think it would be awesome,
but in reality it's a disappointment.

184
00:06:15,184 --> 00:06:18,838
(Finebros) Well, the Power Glove
was a complete commercial failure

185
00:06:18,838 --> 00:06:21,786
- because it didn't work.
- (laughs)

186
00:06:21,786 --> 00:06:22,983
Such a sad thing.

187
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:26,940
I think it was a cool, creative attempt,
but it just didn't work.

188
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:28,107
I would get so mad.

189
00:06:28,107 --> 00:06:32,781
All this hype for this new thing
and it just doesn't work.

190
00:06:32,781 --> 00:06:35,049
I probably would have bought it 
and returned it or something.

191
00:06:35,049 --> 00:06:36,136
I would've been pissed off.

192
00:06:36,136 --> 00:06:39,948
I remember when the Wii came out,
and I remember everyone wanted one.

193
00:06:39,948 --> 00:06:43,446
I could only imagine 
parents being so hesitant

194
00:06:43,446 --> 00:06:45,839
to buy their kids Wiis 
because of this thing.

195
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,511
(Finebros) You have 
to remember that in 1989

196
00:06:47,511 --> 00:06:50,841
nothing like this was ever even around
and it was a huge, cool idea.

197
00:06:50,841 --> 00:06:53,085
What do you think now, 
seeing one of the first uses

198
00:06:53,085 --> 00:06:55,469
of technology like this 
with how far everything has come?

199
00:06:55,469 --> 00:06:57,716
I think it's really cool.
They predicted the future.

200
00:06:57,716 --> 00:06:59,151
The technology that they had back then

201
00:06:59,151 --> 00:07:01,411
wasn't good enough to make it 
that efficient like they have today.

202
00:07:01,411 --> 00:07:05,663
We think all these Next Gen things
are so revolutionary,

203
00:07:05,663 --> 00:07:08,531
but then you look back
and it's like...

204
00:07:08,531 --> 00:07:09,938
we were almost there.

205
00:07:09,938 --> 00:07:12,369
I'm honored to be in the presence of this.

206
00:07:12,369 --> 00:07:16,055
This is what started 
all the new technology of gaming.

207
00:07:16,055 --> 00:07:18,008
(Finebros) So, finally, now that 
you've used the Power Glove

208
00:07:18,008 --> 00:07:21,408
first hand, we're going to show you
a commercial of how they

209
00:07:21,408 --> 00:07:23,319
marketed the Power Glove 
when it first came out.

210
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:24,961
I bet they got everyone hyped up on it too.

211
00:07:24,961 --> 00:07:26,311
(boxing bell rings)

212
00:07:27,211 --> 00:07:28,290
(chuckling)

213
00:07:28,290 --> 00:07:31,482
(announcer) The Power Glove
for your Nintendo Entertainment System.

214
00:07:31,482 --> 00:07:33,374
Now you and the games are one.

215
00:07:33,374 --> 00:07:34,957
"You and the games are one."

216
00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:37,594
That looks dope as hell.
I'm not gonna lie.

217
00:07:37,594 --> 00:07:38,808
What?!

219
00:07:40,158 --> 00:07:43,735
It's on a big screen too--
like, no one has that at home back then.

220
00:07:44,245 --> 00:07:45,406
It's not that simple.

221
00:07:45,406 --> 00:07:47,218
No, it doesn't work like that.

222
00:07:47,948 --> 00:07:51,157
(announcer) The Power Glove.
Everything else is child's play.

223
00:07:51,157 --> 00:07:52,435
Oh, man.

224
00:07:52,435 --> 00:07:54,191
See, that looked like a fun time.

225
00:07:54,191 --> 00:07:55,533
Where's that Power Glove?

226
00:07:55,533 --> 00:08:00,568
If I was a kid in 1989,
I'd be like, "I need that."

227
00:08:00,568 --> 00:08:03,160
If I saw that, I would be like,
"Oh my gosh, mom!

228
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,732
We're going right now!"

229
00:08:04,732 --> 00:08:06,755
This is the beauty of advertising.

230
00:08:06,755 --> 00:08:08,434
Now I wanna try this again.

231
00:08:09,124 --> 00:08:10,625
Thanks for watching Teens React.

00:08:10,625 --> 00:08:13,077
Want to see us play more games
with the Power Glove?

Go subscribe to the React Channel.

234

Let us know in the comments
what technology we should react to next.

235
00:08:17,922 --> 00:08:20,091
All right, guys, this is it.

236
00:08:20,091 --> 00:08:24,961
I'm turning 20 and this is 
the last Teens React episode

237
00:08:24,961 --> 00:08:26,449
I'll be in and, um...

238
00:08:28,929 --> 00:08:30,070
(voice breaking) I'm sorry.

239
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:30,999
(Finebros) It's okay.

240
00:08:30,999 --> 00:08:34,076
I just wanna say thank you so much
for all the support

241
00:08:34,076 --> 00:08:36,021
