I think the A button on the Wii remote got sucked into a time portal and landed on the NES controller.

People used to jerk the NES controller upward like that? I must be too young to remember that practice.

He obviously is talking about the people who move the controller as they play games for emphasis, probably most commonly in racing or fighting games.

My dad used to do that in Mario games.  It was amusing, but I didn't laugh because I enjoyed our late nights playing video games together.

Ugh, I hated it when my sister tilted her controller whenever she wanted to turn in racing games. I kept telling her it wouldn't help, but she did it anyway.

And the NES controller has existed since back in 1985.

Yeah, we've all done that... that's what I loved about Excite Truck.

"Turn, turn, turn..." *tilts controller* "YES!!! I mean, whoah, it actually worked...?"

Well, it's fine if it works that way, which it does not for any pre-Wii consoles.

What about the Power Glove?

IMO, the Power Glove greatly stretches the definition of a "Motion-sensing controller", as it hardly ever sensed motion.

Also, it was not the official controller of the NES, as Nintendo did not make it nor did they endorse it, and as far as I know, it was not bundled with the NES. Ultimately it doesn't really count as the NES's controller: it was a third party accessory.

Accessory is hardly a word for it.  Try a "metal piece of crap".

I should've known better then to ask such a stupid question. After all, I'm sure AVGN knows what he's talking about.

The Wizard and Captain N would like a word with you.

If the Power Glove are any bit Nintendo, I'm sure there'd been references in the Pikmin, Wario Ware and/or Smash Bros. Franchises by now.

Both of these had several other third party references.

There's not 'cause it sucked (though I'd probably die laughing if it was an item in Brawl).

ROB also sucked, but he's appeared in a lot of Nintendo games (including being a playable character in MKDS).

Virtual Boy was bad, but it made an appearance in SSBM when you set the language to Japanese.

Have you even actually played a Virtual Boy?
Meaning: It wasn't bad!

True, but the laws of the universe dictate that if you, at some point, made a videogame peripheral shaped like a robot, it's got to show up again (oh, and ROB in MKDS: Dumb).

Dont forget that R.O.B is going to be in Super Smash Bros Brawl. But I think the power glove looks awsome when you wear it but sucks when you use it. But it was a cool try back then (remember this was waaaay back in the 1980's when things had limits)

According to the Angry Video Game Nerd, the only thing that the Power Glove can possibly be good for is landing the plane in Top Gun. XD

And he wasn't even trying. XD
