Metroid Pinball Rumble pack revealed
Posted by Drewboy64This game looks pretty good, although there are lots of people that are more excited about it than me.
Here's the rumble pack that comes with the game.

Posted by KlarthIt's a GBA cartridge?
Wonder what happens if you put it in a GBA.
Posted by Vampiro V. EmpireThank God it doesn't stick out of the handheld. And finally, a use for the GBA holder in the DS box.
Posted by ZetaThat's pretty interesting, but I'd rather not get the Rumble Pak. Don't want the DS shaking outta my hands.

Posted by SpeedfreakNothing, the GBA won't even boot up.

The rumble won't be that strong. Unless you're really weak, and if that was the case you wouldn't even be able to lift the DS.

If you cram a Monster Brain in the GBA slot, you can play original GB games through it. Scary, but true.
Posted by Drewboy64Unfortunately, Craig from IGN said it was too loud and wasn't good. Hopefully his was defected, or at least Nintendo will fix it before it comes out.
Posted by Vampiro V. EmpireToo loud? From what I've seen in videos, the sound is excellent. Though, I don't care either way. If it is too loud, that's what volume is for.
Posted by VicEThe Rumble Pack seems like a pretty interesting idea, I wonder if they'll make any other add-on thingies that go in through the GBA slot.

...Seriously? Because I think I have one of those lying around somewhere. I'd be too afraid of somehow damaging the game or DS though (don't know how that'd happen, but I'm paranoid with unliscensed peripherals like that).

It worked with Tetris. However, it took me a while to get it right. It doesn't fit in very evenly. Heck, this problem even happened on my GBA...
Posted by thelaststandcan i get just the rumble pack
Posted by SpeedfreakWhy would you get the rumble pack by itself when only one game supports it, and that one game is the one it's packaged with?
Posted by Vampiro V. EmpireExactly. I could understand if it worked with other games, but it doesn't. It would just be a novelty that you wasted good money on.
Plus, it's free with Prime Pinball...

I thought you meant videos of the rumble pack in use, not hte game. The game doesn't show anything about the rumble pack, whcih is why it seemed so "quite." From other sources, though, I've heard the pack works nicely.
Oh, and if you were picking up a game like Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, it would make some sense to want to buy the pack alone; the game is supposed to support it.
But yeah, i might get this game, or my brother will.

OH, I thought you were talking about the music, not the rumble. My mistake. Either way, according to the Gamespot review, you can hear it, but usually when the volume is turned down low. So it's not a big deal. I'll be picking it up this week anyways. Give my opinion then.
Posted by Drewboy64Oh.
Yeah, I hope the pack turns out good and that it works with other games. Metroid Prime Hunters, perhaps?

oooo i thought it worked with different games
Posted by junior seniorI want that. So badly.
So many games I don't even remember them the time I get to the store. :(

I think it was said that Mario and Luigi will work with it, but I'm not sure. I hope more games take advantage of this pack.
Posted by GameMiestroIts sort of like the GBA wireless link. They made 2 games that worked with it, then sold it seperately for $25.00... I hope EVERYONE does not buy the Rumble Pack seperately.
Posted by Drewboy64If they are gonna sell the rumble pack sepeartely, they might sell it online only, like what they are doing with the Wifi USB port.
