Another candidate for the useless peripheral hall of fame, the Wii Boxing Gloves actually transcend my usual criteria of being only useful in one game by being useful in only one fraction of one game. Created with Wii Sports in mind, the fingerless padded gloves feature sleeves on the top that you actually tuck the wiimote and nunchuck into, offering all the functionality of simply duct taping the controllers to your hands with none of the messy skin irritation.

If these were fully padded regulation boxing gloves I could see the need for them, as my girlfriend tends to get hyper-aggressive during a round of Wii Sports Boxing, but since the fingers are exposed she would retain full use of her knuckles and nails, leaving me short $22 on top of being beaten to a bloody, shredded pulp.
