If you play Wrestlemania on the NES with the Acclaim Wireless Remote Controller then a wrestler will reach right out of your TV screen and try to kill you!
Wow! It really puts me in the game…
…a really, really bad game.
Notice that in the game footage we see in the commercial it’s a two-player game being played but all we ever see is the one guy. Oops!

He “puts the moves on WWF Superstars”? As in… he flirts with them?
No! Not even a word out of you you, mister!
Take it away, Joe Gagne!

No one wants to hear a Gay Popeye joke about a bad game!
A wireless remote control that works on the…Nin-ten-dooooo!!!!
Oh to be 4 years old again. I had both the WrestleMania game and wireless controler, no wonder I’m so screwed up
I own this wireless pad. As expected, it’s absolute garbage, It uses infrared to maintain a connection, so you have to constantly point the controller towards the sensor. If even a speck of dust got in the way, the connection would cut off. But hey, it was only $20 and makes a good conversation piece.
Say what you will but that wireless controller is still a better accessory than the Power Glove.
I still say the Turbo Touch 360 is THE worse NES controler…stops working after a couple days. 😛
That still makes it better than the U-Force or Power Glove. 🙂
Anyone else have “Videodrome” come to mind during that commercial?
Ah, yes. The pre-WaveBird days of wireless controllers. You had to point it at the console to make it to work, as pointed out earlier in the comments.
Speaking of Acclaim, the Legends of Wrestling game series is probably due for an induction, especially the glitch-fest known as Showdown.
