I've always been curious about the power glove. It seems to be a right hand only item, however I'm left handed. Is it worth owning? I'm wondering if it would be worth the effort to get one
I could swear I remember seeing left hand gloves as well... But it doesn't really matter. You can flail helplessly with your right hand just as well as your left.
I could swear there were lefty power gloves as well. But, as everyone else said, it's a pain in the arm to use anyhow. After about 10 minutes of playing you will just want to give up so you can lower your hand!
The problem is, it's just a doctored promo shot anyways, which means the glove probably isn't really on him, just added later to make the scene more "Nintendoey."
I'd love for this to be proven to exist, but I doubt it will be. It was a high-end item to begin with, and then manufacturing a completely different mold to cater to 1/10th of your already small market: not good market sense.
I know for a FACT that they made Left-Handed Power Gloves. I know this because I'm left handed, and I owned one back in the day. Also, I've seen pics of a pair of Power Gloves sitting next to each other, one lefty and one righty. So yes, Left-Handed ones do exist! I think the Power Glove gets too much flak... You just need to practice with it. I've beaten a couple games with mine, including TMNT. (One hell of a feat) It's So Bad.
I don't think a lefty power gloves exists at all. I have searched for years and seen this very thread pop up at least 15 times. In all those years I have yet to see one picture of a real one posted (other than the Wizard pic). Until one is posted I call total BS that it exists. It is just like a pink unicorn with me on its back playing a harp while wearing pink spandex...it just isn't going to happen!
