00:00:23.564 --> 00:00:26.925
(Finebros) Today, you are 
not reacting to a video.

00:00:26.925 --> 00:00:27.596
Oh, man.

00:00:27.596 --> 00:00:29.585
(Finebros) You are reacting to this.

00:00:31.045 --> 00:00:32.542
Um...excuse me?

00:00:32.542 --> 00:00:33.701
It looks like a robot arm.

00:00:33.701 --> 00:00:35.070
Is it gonna electrocute me?

00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:35.982
It looks really dope.

00:00:35.982 --> 00:00:37.234
What can I control with this?

00:00:37.234 --> 00:00:38.767
Is this old or is this new?

00:00:38.767 --> 00:00:41.439
This is either a really 
new piece of technology

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.449
or a really old piece of technology.

00:00:43.449 --> 00:00:45.156
Oooooh!

00:00:45.156 --> 00:00:47.454
I watch Angry Video Game Nerd

00:00:47.454 --> 00:00:48.938
and I totally saw his review

00:00:48.938 --> 00:00:51.713
and he was just like, "This sucks!"

00:00:51.713 --> 00:00:55.095
♪ (punk rock music) ♪

00:00:55.095 --> 00:00:56.945
(Finebros) What would be your guess
as to what this is?

00:00:56.945 --> 00:00:59.199
Like you move your hand 
and it moves something...

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:00.248
somewhere else?

00:01:00.248 --> 00:01:03.111
It's a game control 'cause of the D Pad.

00:01:03.111 --> 00:01:05.457
I'm assuming you control 
things with your hands,

00:01:05.457 --> 00:01:06.532
like in the game.

00:01:06.532 --> 00:01:08.964
It's a video game glove.
It was like the first Wii.

00:01:08.964 --> 00:01:11.738
(Finebros) So what it is
is it's called the Power Glove.

00:01:12.248 --> 00:01:15.446
- It was made in 1989--
- No way.

00:01:15.446 --> 00:01:17.982
I haven't heard about this
and this has been out for so long.

00:01:17.982 --> 00:01:19.510
I've never even seen one of these.

00:01:19.510 --> 00:01:22.148
(Finebros) It was an accessory
to play video games

00:01:22.148 --> 00:01:23.524
on the original Nintendo.

00:01:23.524 --> 00:01:25.572
The concept was 
you don't need a controller.

00:01:25.572 --> 00:01:26.731
You can play with your hand.

00:01:26.731 --> 00:01:28.411
And we're not using these today? Why?

00:01:28.411 --> 00:01:29.436
This would be awesome.

00:01:29.436 --> 00:01:30.717
How come I've never heard of this?

00:01:30.717 --> 00:01:32.138
So this is like the Wii before the Wii.

00:01:32.138 --> 00:01:34.042
If you paired this with the Oculus Rift,

00:01:34.042 --> 00:01:36.908
this is Next Gen.

00:01:36.908 --> 00:01:38.274
This is like the future right here!

00:01:38.274 --> 00:01:39.585
The past/future!

00:01:39.585 --> 00:01:41.986
(Finebros) Okay, so we're going to
hook things up and let you

00:01:41.986 --> 00:01:43.939
- play a game using the Power Glove.
- Really?

00:01:43.939 --> 00:01:44.661
Yes!

00:01:44.661 --> 00:01:46.316
Are you guys gonna explain it to me?

00:01:46.316 --> 00:01:48.402
(Finebros) The way it worked is 
you'd have to hook up sensors

00:01:48.402 --> 00:01:52.169
to your TV, which we've done here,
and it would use ultrasonic sound waves

00:01:52.169 --> 00:01:53.837
to connect to the Power Glove.

00:01:53.837 --> 00:01:56.905
Like a Wii sensor, but older?

00:01:56.905 --> 00:01:58.151
Wow, that's huge!

00:01:58.151 --> 00:02:00.017
Now it's like the Xbox Kinect
is, like, this big.

00:02:00.017 --> 00:02:02.342
(Finebros) But it had some issues,
including it being difficult

00:02:02.342 --> 00:02:04.704
to set up with what it came with,
so even we had to tape it down

00:02:04.704 --> 00:02:06.718
- to keep it in place.
- The struggle!

00:02:06.718 --> 00:02:08.425
(Finebros) Okay, so go ahead 
and put on the Power Glove.

00:02:08.425 --> 00:02:10.385
Is my arm supposed to go through there?

00:02:11.105 --> 00:02:12.480
I feel like such a dork.

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:14.065
It kinda feels tefillin.

00:02:14.065 --> 00:02:16.321
So if you had this, were you 
the coolest kid in the world?

00:02:16.321 --> 00:02:18.501
I can feel the energy 
flowing through my veins.

00:02:18.501 --> 00:02:19.777
I feel powerful.

00:02:20.387 --> 00:02:22.287
That's where the name 
"Power Glove" comes from.

00:02:22.287 --> 00:02:24.237
(Finebros) So you are going to play 
a game made specifically

00:02:24.237 --> 00:02:26.375
for the Power Glove 
called Bad Street Brawler.

00:02:26.375 --> 00:02:29.427
Then once it's registered, 
lifting your hand up jumps,

00:02:29.427 --> 00:02:32.664
lowering your hand ducks,
thumb and index finger punch.

00:02:32.664 --> 00:02:35.006
Oh, so it's not even as cool 
as I thought it would be.

00:02:35.006 --> 00:02:36.557
So all I have to do is this for fighting?

00:02:36.557 --> 00:02:38.014
So I'm gonna be pinching people, basically.

00:02:38.014 --> 00:02:39.041
Why is this punch?

00:02:39.041 --> 00:02:40.856

so here we printed out how to do

things for Punch Out on the Power Glove,

came out, it was a very big deal.

this is a good way to game?

I think it would work.

I think it would be awesome,
but in reality it's a disappointment.

00:06:15.184 --> 00:06:18.838

All this hype for this new thing
and it just doesn't work.

00:06:32.781 --> 00:06:35.049

parents being so hesitant

to buy their kids Wiis 
because of this thing.

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.511

to remember that in 1989

00:06:47.511 --> 00:06:50.841
nothing like this was ever even around
and it was a huge, cool idea.

00:06:50.841 --> 00:06:53.085
What do you think now, 
seeing one of the first uses

00:06:53.085 --> 00:06:55.469
of technology like this 
with how far everything has come?

00:06:55.469 --> 00:06:57.716
I think it's really cool.
They predicted the future.

00:06:57.716 --> 00:06:59.151
The technology that they had back then

00:06:59.151 --> 00:07:01.411
wasn't good enough to make it 
that efficient like they have today.

00:07:01.411 --> 00:07:05.663
We think all these Next Gen things
are so revolutionary,

00:07:05.663 --> 00:07:08.531
but then you look back
and it's like...

00:07:08.531 --> 00:07:09.938
we were almost there.

00:07:09.938 --> 00:07:12.369
I'm honored to be in the presence of this.

00:07:12.369 --> 00:07:16.055
This is what started 
all the new technology of gaming.

00:07:16.055 --> 00:07:18.008
(Finebros) So, finally, now that 
you've used the Power Glove

00:07:18.008 --> 00:07:21.408
first hand, we're going to show you
a commercial of how they

00:07:21.408 --> 00:07:23.319
marketed the Power Glove 
when it first came out.

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.961
I bet they got everyone hyped up on it too.

00:07:24.961 --> 00:07:26.311
(boxing bell rings)

00:07:27.211 --> 00:07:28.290
(chuckling)

00:07:28.290 --> 00:07:31.482
(announcer) The Power Glove
for your Nintendo Entertainment System.

00:07:31.482 --> 00:07:33.374
Now you and the games are one.

00:07:33.374 --> 00:07:34.957
"You and the games are one."

00:07:35.667 --> 00:07:37.594
That looks dope as hell.
I'm not gonna lie.

00:07:37.594 --> 00:07:38.808
What?!

00:07:38.808 --> 00:07:40.158
♪ (electronica music) ♪

00:07:40.158 --> 00:07:43.735
It's on a big screen too--
like, no one has that at home back then.

00:07:44.245 --> 00:07:45.406
It's not that simple.

00:07:45.406 --> 00:07:47.218
No, it doesn't work like that.

00:07:47.948 --> 00:07:51.157
(announcer) The Power Glove.
Everything else is child's play.

00:07:51.157 --> 00:07:52.435
Oh, man.

00:07:52.435 --> 00:07:54.191
See, that looked like a fun time.

00:07:54.191 --> 00:07:55.533
Where's that Power Glove?

00:07:55.533 --> 00:08:00.568
If I was a kid in 1989,
I'd be like, "I need that."

00:08:00.568 --> 00:08:03.160
If I saw that, I would be like,
"Oh my gosh, mom!

00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.732
We're going right now!"

00:08:04.732 --> 00:08:06.755
This is the beauty of advertising.

00:08:06.755 --> 00:08:08.434
Now I wanna try this again.

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?

00:08:13.077 --> 00:08:14.703
Go subscribe to the React Channel.

00:08:14.703 --> 00:08:17.922
Let us know in the comments
what technology we should react to next.

00:08:17.922 --> 00:08:20.091
All right, guys, this is it.

00:08:20.091 --> 00:08:24.961
I'm turning 20 and this is 
the last Teens React episode

00:08:24.961 --> 00:08:26.449
I'll be in and, um...

00:08:28.929 --> 00:08:30.070
(voice breaking) I'm sorry.

00:08:30.070 --> 00:08:30.999
(Finebros) It's okay.

00:08:30.999 --> 00:08:34.076
I just wanna say thank you so much
for all the support

00:08:34.076 --> 00:08:36.021
for the past two years.

00:08:36.021 --> 00:08:37.784
You guys are the greatest fans.

00:08:37.784 --> 00:08:40.998
Thank you so much for everything.
