NINTENDO: Power Glove

The Power Glove was prominently shown off in the Nintendo-produced film The Wizard, memorably wielded by antagonist Lucas Barton (Jackey Vinson), whose smug boast, "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad!" became an internet meme years later. Mutant Reviewers from Hell noted that
…the Power Glove was an odd controller for the NES that required you to wear a huge glove that really did very little, but the movie treats it with such awe, such holy reverence that all of the witnesses to its mighty power are left speechless. That is, until Lucas gives us one of the film's most memorable lines: 'I love the Power Glove. It's so bad!'
In the sixth Nightmare on Elm Street film, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Freddy Krueger is seen controlling and trying to kill Spencer with a NES. The controller is unplugged, and Freddy uses the Power Glove as a replacement.
In 1995's Hackers, during the scene where one of the characters Joey is having his computer analyzed by the secret service, one of the agents is seen wearing a Power Glove.
