Great When You Can Use It

The N64 Rumble Pak is a great accessory when you are able to use it. What I mean is that not all games work with the Rumble Pak. Otherwise when it is working with a game that it works with, the result is amazing. You can practicaly feel what is going on and what the character physically feels. Buy this but be aware of games it works and doesn't work with.

HAPPY GAMING!

This really enhaces your gaming experience. It shakes when you get hit in certain games. I recomend everyone get one.

Get the official one

I've learned from my mistakes. I'd always buy memory packs and rumble packs from other companies (not Nintendo) because they were inexpensive or had more features. But not anymore. The 'unofficial' ones always seem to break after a while. Get the official Nintendo Rumble Pak! I know I will!

Anybody with a nintendo get hndo needs a rou getumble pak. The Rumble Pak only works on the games designed to use, but most games will use it. The rumble pak vibrates when you get hit, or if you get shot, etc. this works great! It is a really big step into lifelike video game entertainment.

N64 Official Rumble Pak by Sanjay Schrapel

Well, the Official N64 Rumble Pak is just not the best out there, to put this review in one sentence. This pak provides excellent vibration, but you need to change the batteries often. AAA batteries cost twice as much as their AA counterparts, and recharging batteries take about 11 hours per charge. My friend and I were joking the other day about having to change the batteries every time you got shot in Perfect Dark, then I showed him the Naki Rocker Pak. This pak dosen't require any batteries (gets power from console, like PSone) and the base model comes with a 256k memory card built in (there is a 1mb version as well). The Naki version is WAAAAY cheaper than this Nintendo version, and is more practical. I can't really reccommend the Official Rumble Pak. Even if you can't find the Naki version ... there are loads of cheaper 3rd party paks on the market, even here on Amazon.com.

Waste of batteries, too little rumble

This is only a rumble if you are under 8 years old, otherwise it’s ...tremble that is not worth the money or the AA batteries that you need for it. The Rumble Pack fits into the slot of your N64 controller, and then a save pack fits into the Rumble Pack, making the controller quite heavy! There are two settings for the pack, low and high. Another annoying part of the pack is that there are two modes, one to turn the Rumble Pack on, and the other to work your gamepack to save games. Its just a hassle, and the only games that really use it are Zelda when you are fishing and sporting games, so you can feel the action.

Cool Addition

The rumble pack was one of the greatest inventions to come out in the video game era. Now with the more updated systems the rumble function is built into the controller. That is not so with the N64.

The Rumble Pack was introduced along side Starfox 64. When you get shot, hit someone, get hit, explosions, and many other actions will cause your controller to shake. It makes game playing a lot more fun. It's great in a football game where your sizing a guy up for a hit, you do it and then you feel the rumble. The controller will shake more if it's a harder impact. Lots of fun. There are some cons. You have to use batteries and you have to take it out to put your memory pack in. To me the cons don't come close to the pros and fun of the controller. If you have an N64 you must own a Rumble Pack. You won't regret it.

If You own an N64 and not a Gamecube, Get The Rumble Pack!!!

I got the N64 for Christmas by a nice worker at a Chinese restaurant in 1999. When I first tried it I was amazed. I never saw 3-D graphics since I upgraded from the SNES. Then I heard of the Rumble Pack, but I purchased a 3rd party one from Interact since it was cheaper, but it was big, heavy, and required 2 double A batteries. Not to mention, the rumble quality was poor. Then I threw it out and got myself a Naki Rocker Pack w/a built in memory card plus(this pack is battery free). I was really happy with it for a year until I tried the official Rumble Pack. At that very day, I noticed a difference (the Rocker Pack's rumble was weaker than the official one). I decided that it was time to put in some extra cash to get the real Rumble Pcak from the trustworthy Nintendo. The only problem was that it required 2 triple A battries, but at least the performance is top notch.

Good addition

This was a good addition for the 64. While today this seems archaic since rumble features are built into controllers it worked pretty well for its time. I still remember playing Starfox for the first time with the rumble pack, I was pretty impressed at the time.

The battery life seems pretty good. The rumble pack is pretty heavy though.

Good product to make games a bit more realalistic

this is a good product especially games with a lot of explosions and loud vibrations where u acctually feel a sample of the vibration like in first person shooter games where u feel like the forceback of the gunshot which is pretty cool exept the only thing i have to complain is there should be more of a vibration then i would have got 1 for all my controllers hopefully gamecubes built in analog in the controller will be better and it will save money too
