NTSC Power Glove on PAL console?
11. Nov 2006 at 23:17

Hi, can anyone tell me if a power glove that works with a NTSC console will also work with a Pal? Is there any difference?
I don't know much about these consoles, don't even have one Roll Eyes

, but my boyfriend is collecting Nintedo stuff, and I want to get him a glove for chrismas. I know he has several NES but I dont think he has a NTSC one, just a modded one, which can play 50 or 60Hz.
I just want to know if he will be able to play with it, or if there's a adapter or something for it I'd need to get too.

Well, thanks for any answers in advance. Wink

Again i don't know for sure, but i consider it more like a fitness mat, gun, they are all region free. Someone correct me if i'm wrong though.

Well, I heard you couldn't use a PAL controller on a NTSC console, or something like that. So I'd like to make sure.
Every time I bought my bofriend something for his collection there was something wrong with it. I got him a game for with he needed a new adapter, and the super scope a bought him was broken. So... better no suprises this chrismas. Embarrassed

Yeah i can understand, maybe Speedy_NES or Gundampilot know more about this.
About the joystick, was it so that it didn't fit, if so it can be a famicom joystick. I bought one once and'i couldn't plug it in. Anyways if you really doubt and want to be 100% sure i would go for a PAL Power Glove if i were you, that way all problems are out of the way.

And for a reasonable price at that, I don't plan on paying 150$ . So I have to get what I can. Sadly the one I saw on eBay is already gone. Would just make the search easier if I don't have to go for a specific one.

I am pretty sure that the power glove never saw a PAL release, but I could be wrong. I have also heard of stories where NTSC power gloves don't work on PAL systems, but this ebay link seems to disagree:

This definitely sounds like a question for Speedy...

I found the thread I was thinking of over on the rfgeneration boards:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=3462.0

The original poster is having major issues with his NTSC power glove on his PAL console. Someone recommended that he get a PAL glove, but the OP stated that there was only a North American and Japanese release of the Power Glove. As NESaholic has stated, there apparently was a European release, but with so few people knowing about it, I assume they are rather hard to come by. Hope this helps, and good luck with the gift!

I'll try to get the PAL glove from eBay, though I fear the price will get too high if it's so rare. Perhaps I can find one at a flea market, than he'll get it for his birthday.
