Product Description:
The Boxer Gloves for Wii are perfect for gamers that want to add a touch of reality to their gaming experience. With these gloves, you get the actual feel and work out of being inside of the ring. You no longer have the inconvenience of holding the controllers in the palms of each of your hands. The gloves have a pouch on the backside of the hand that houses two foam cushions that are designed specifically for the controllers to rest in; this way you can punch away like a real boxer and not have to worry about clenching bulky objects. There is also an adjustable Velcro strap located at the wrists that you can tighten to fit the level of your comfort. All in all, the Boxer Gloves are a perfect 1-2 combo that is sure to make any gamers, whether novice or expert, experience a knock-out!

1 out of 5 starswii boxing gloves
these gloves aren't worth the money. it is very hard to get your controller into the glove and once it is in you can't use any of the buttons for power punches.



4 out of 5 starsBest for Wii Fit
These gloves work best for the wii fit boxing challenge--not any game where you have to KO someone.



3 out of 5 starsFun but with some complications.
The gloves are very small so thankfully I have small hands. But for other people in the family we need to take the padding out of the gloves to make their hands fit. Then there's the chance of the Wii mote and Nunchuck flipping sideways and not getting a fair punch in the game. So, unless you have small hands I really wouldn't reccomend this product. It is fun, works for people with small hands, and brings the boxing game to life.



2 out of 5 starsGood idea on paper...
Sounds like a good idea right? With the Wii, there are many customizable attachments to add to the controllers for that added touch of realism e.g. Links crossbow, golf clubs, etc...why not boxing gloves?

The problem is that these are basically bag striking gloves with a pouch sewn in and foam inserts. I noticed the following problems that this quick "port" causes;
- The glove fit tight (like striking gloves should) but that means if/when you clinch your fist the gloves will depress one of many controller buttons which of course can do things like turn your Wii off to exiting the game.
- No IR window for the sensors. The glove dramatically reduce the range and accuracy of the controllers due to the damping effect of the gloves outer shell
- No access to any control buttons. Hope you like only jabbing cause accessing that coveted "z" button for the knock punch just ain't gonna happen.
Most of these problems can be fixed with an Xacto knife, but I decided just to sell them on eBay along with the ultra sucky boxing game I bought with it (Showtime Boxing).



4 out of 5 starsRealistic Boxing
Makes wii boxing more realistic, but a little difficult to handle connecting the controllers, since it's inserted inside the glove. They need to make the sizing better - too big for me, and too small for the guys
