Tired of holding controllers?? Come on man. The Wii is great for those who are not lazy. There is finally a video console that involves more physical action during play. But now it appears that some people can't even hold a controller. What about holding a standard controller? Can these lazy people even handle that? What's next? A mind control cap that you wear and just think about what moves you want to make.

Ever thought about those who want a boxing type of realistic feel to it? As in just punching into the air without holding the controllers to get that boxing feel.

Obviously you dont understand the point as the reason behind this is different from that of a standard controller.

how do you use the buttons? and according to those diagrams the controllers will be moving along a different axis of movement than that which Wii boxing actually uses. . .

Well during gameplay, there wont be a need to push any buttons. Only time would be to select menus. As stated, a review will be coming soon and I'll let you know how it all works out.

Good Point for those who want realism. A pair of old oversized gloves should work just the same. Modified of course.

There is no point in those gloves, they don't look that good...

...plus when boxing you have your hands clenched, how are you going to clench your hands in these? plus there is also the thought of wearing them and having sweaty hands due to no air getting to hands!

You clench your hands like if you're wearing winter gloves. Its not like the gloves are made of brick.

By the look so the image, the palm area is open thus allowing your hands to breathe. Obviously the top doesnt.

seriously, unless the gloves can accomadate both remote and nuchuck parallel to your finger tips then these gloves will just not work. no one punches with the remote sensor heading into the screen, which is what the diagrams show...

final review: awful

You cannot go by what the diagram is showing. The diagram is showing how the remote and nunchuk is placed into the gloves. It does not show how you punch.

When you punch, the remote in the gloves is sideways and you punch like you would at something/someone.
