Exploring the Quirky World of Glover (N64) with Angry Video Game Nerd

In the latest episode of Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN), James Rolfe, the iconic nerd himself, dives deep into the peculiar world of Glover for the Nintendo 64. Episode 217 of the beloved series brings a nostalgic yet critical look at this unique 3D platformer where players control a magical glove and a ball.

Directed and written by James Rolfe, the episode kicks off with a humorous magic trick. The Nerd, in his classic style, pulls out Glover from his N64 shelf, pondering whether the name has any connection to famous Glovers like Danny Glover, Donald Glover, Crispin Glover, or Roger Glover. However, he quickly clarifies that the game features a glove reminiscent of the Hamburger Helper mascot riding a red ball.

James Rolfe teams up with editor Sean O'Rourke, who has also contributed to the gameplay footage. The duo unpacks the myriad challenges and eccentricities of Glover, comparing it to other notorious glove-related games like Super Glove Ball from the Power Glove episode. Rolfe humorously ranks these as his top two worst glove games, but gratefully notes that Glover does not require the infamous Power Glove.

In his review, the Nerd doesn’t hold back on pointing out the game's flaws, including clunky controls and awkward gameplay mechanics. However, he still manages to find some redeeming qualities, making for an entertaining and balanced critique that long-time fans and newcomers alike will appreciate.
