Double take: Canceled Glover 2 becomes playable
Remember when a studio could center an entire game around a living glove, and that wasn't questioned as irrational behavior? Yes, the days of Glover were simpler times. The game was set to receive a sequel, though that was eventually canceled. Now, an early version has become playable. No joke! A Glover 2 prototype cartridge was acquired by NES World, and rather than have it sit on a shelf somewhere, unplayed and unloved, it's been uploaded to the Internet for anyone curious enough to find it. Alternatively, you can save yourself the effort by watching this video. Unsurprisingly, the sequel looks rather dated and not particularly enjoyable -- even as someone who liked Glover a fair amount -- but what else would you expect? The novelty of it, however, is undeniable. Unreleased Nintendo 64 Sequel To Glover Surfaces Online [Retro Collect via GameSetWatch] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Pretty cool! I have really fond memories of Glover and using the arrow dpad thing to make noises. Good times. Haha man its very rare people comments make me actually laugh but credit to Renegade and Phil, that's good stuff Awesome news that the world gets to play something that would never have been released. God Bless Prototypes My ex got me n64 Glover as a gift. When I tore the wrapping paper off and saw what it was I was sad. I never even tried the game. The concept alone from reading the back of the box seemed LAME Remember when a studio could center an entire game around a living glove, and that wasn't questioned as irrational behavior?
