The Glove Controller (Nintendo 64)
Nintendo is certainly no stranger to bizarre console accessories. Since the release of the gaming giant's Nintendo Entertainment System in 1983, there have been some unusual, albeit memorable, peripherals for gamers to expand their gaming experience, such as the NES's R.O.B. the Robot, the motion-controlled U-Force NES peripheral, or the GameCube's Donkey Kong Bongos. Although not all of Nintendo's special controllers were entirely functional, some were and still are extremely rare and valuable collectibles.
The perfect example of a bizarre and rare collector's item was the Nintendo 64 Reality Quest Glove — not to be confused with the 1989 NES Power Glove, which became infamous for its inaccuracy and uselessness. The Reality Quest Glove was much lesser known, but equally lacking in functionality. It was designed to be worn on the right hand and used to play any N64 game one-handed. Console Variations has estimated that only 10,000 to 50,000 units were made, so it can be hard to find today.
