I've heard that Nintendo "peripherals" use a proprietary data encryption
scheme, which you can't get the spec on unless you sell your soul to Nintendo.
The power-glove would transmit such encoded signals, so I think the interface
you are proposing would be virtually impossible (without the cooperation of
Nintendo).
