Anyone old enough to have owned an NES when it was the prime system knows how awesome the Power Glove could have been. Alas, it was just a controller bolted to a neat-looking glove. Now, 20 years later, Matt Mechtley has done the impossible and has officially made the Power Glove cool again.

Using an Arduino, a Bluetooth module and an accelerometer, Matt can now manipulate all kinds of data using the Power Glove. Hell, I can only imagine the possibilities when paired up with Pure Data. If you dare make your own, Matt has posted all the code and instructions you could possibly need.

Personally, I’m getting a little tired of gaming tattoos, but each one that comes out sets the bar a little higher–which makes them hard to resist. The latest comes to us courtesy of Myck McClung at Three Saints Tattoo in Pensacola Florida. As you can see, this dude thinks the old Nintendo Power Glove is bad-ass. And I thought the Mario Throat Tattoo was hardcore. —Sean Fallon
