When Nintendo released Metroid Prime Pinball, it
included a Nintendo DS Rumble Pack, which essentially plugged into the GBA port of the system and vibrated at key
points in the game. Other DS games are reported to use this technology (Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario and Luigi:
Partners in Time), but how will you get the rumble pack if you do not want to buy a pinball game? What if you need
to replace your original rumble pack? Nintendo has you covered.
Starting November 28, you can visit Nintendo's online store and purchase a Rumble Pack for $9.99 U.S. The price is
very reasonable, but let us hope that Nintendo offers the Rumble Pack in brick-and-mortar stores, as well, or this
feature will be abandoned faster than you can say "GameCube broadband adaptor."
