This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo PowerGlove, and yes, birthday cakes are in order.

If you’re interested in following in his footsteps, instructions are available at Instructables and in the video form after the break — jump to 10:50 if you want to see it in action both with a test program and a brief glimpse at virtual boxing.
