SuperCompleteSelectionGames will release Street Fighter gloves that look like what Ryu wears. These Hadoken gloves will sense your movement and release moves based off of them. For example, if you do the Hadoken pose, then the gloves will yell “Hadoken!”
The Street Fighter Hadoken gloves are available on Premium Bandai. Premium Bandai does not offer international shipping, so you will have to use a proxy service. Pre-orders are open and they’ll close on September 15, 2023. The gloves will ship out some time in January 2024. They cost 9900 JPY, which would be around $70.85.
Aside from Hadoken, the gloves can also sense the movements for Shinku Hadoken, Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, and Shoryuken. So you can experience what it’s like to live life as Ryu. There’s a training mode and a fight mode; training mode lets you practice the movements and fight mode puts you into the thick of combat. Here is a trailer of how the gloves work as controllers:
The trailer utilizes footage from the games. But these gloves are not controllers and you don’t get a copy of Street Fighter with it. It’s more like playing Bop It, in which you “input” the animations based on what the gloves tell you.
The Street Fighter Ryu gloves are available for pre-order from Premium Bandai. They’ll ship out in January 2024. Street Fighter 6 is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox series X, and Windows PC. The Rashid DLC for it will come out on July 24, 2023.
