If you've longed for the experience of what it's like to be a true hacker, then look no further. A recent post by a Reddit user has finally seen the Power Glove for the Nintendo Entertainment System put to some good use.

Reddit user u/SuperLouis64 posted a rather cool video of himself using Nintendo's Power Glove. He had completely modified it to play Overwatch Hero Sombra, making it out to be quite the role reversal for once.

Making funny and unique hand gestures with the Power Glove will result in different actions and skills to be used. Honestly, it is so cool that the video should speak for itself.

Overwatch players seem to really enjoy this unique modification, and not just because it looks so cool. Finally, someone is putting the Power Glove to good use since it's considered one of the worst video game controllers to ever be produced. This is due to the fact it just did not work half of the time, it was unresponsible, sluggish and slow. In the Reddit post, Super Louis detailed his experiences with the entire process:

"I finally figured out how to get the NES Powerglove to work on different platforms. Of course, once I got it to work on PC, I immediately thought of using it to play Sombra. Why? Mostly because when we were kids Sombra was probably the person we thought we all were when we tried to play with the Power Glove!"

There's quite the niche when it comes to playing video games with a ridiculous controller – many users have even beaten games like Dark Souls with a dance mat. The Overwatch community has another amazing piece of controller creativity added to it so well done, Super Louis!
