        You can make use of any NES controller adapter and then plug in the glove's codes as you normally would. Coming from the Wii like you, I use a NES to GameCube adapter that then goes into a GameCube to USB adapter.

        What's fun is to branch out and use the glove with the other systems. The 'Rad Racer' setting works really well with many other racing games and it's a trip to play the arcade 'Punch-Out!!' using the glove's code for the NES port. Also, there's a code that's fantastic for almost any shooter to where you form your hand like a pretend gun and fire by bringing your thumb down. Character or ship movement is then handled by simply moving your gun/hand around in the air. It's all a lot of fun for brief periods of time, as your arm does get tired.

          @mediamogul sounds awesome. I have a raphnet 4nes4snes adapter. Been wanting to get a power glove just didnt think it was compatible. I understand the arm getting tired. The first wii call of duty games were played with the wiimote as a gun. So when your arms got tired and you put your arms down you would look down. Then when you moved your arms back up you wouldnt be facing the same way.
