N64 Rumble Pak: Review & Retrospective
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2020
- Hello, A-Sven-gers! Thanks for checking out my review of the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak (NUS-013). Released in NA July 1997, Nintendo was the first to bring haptic force feedback to a controller, which became an industry standard since. This video explores its use, installation and some of the pros and cons of this innovative device.

did you hear they originally wanted to use the rumble pack as a reload for bullet cartridges/magazine for GoldenEye
I've never heard that, but WOW! That would sure make it interactive. I'm actually shocked we haven't yet seen that feature in any light guns etc
What I never understood is why the Rumble Pak needs a battery when it attached to the Nintendo 64 controller
I wonder if it's due to the power supply and they felt battery control provided the correct amount of input 🤔 Thanks for watching!
I love this video, but the way you played Star Fox 64 burned my eyes. Haha thumbs up!
Haha admittedly I'm not the most advanced co-pilot for our friend Fox McCloud 🤣
I gave you a sub. Good to see other channels doing the N64 thing. Great video btw.
Thank you! The N64 was a great jump for Nintendo and still has some great games that hold up today 🙌
I've modded my rumble paks to not need batteries. The rumble is more effective due to the reduced weight. You should not use 4 modded paks as the current draw is potentially too high. I also modded my controller paks with F-RAM chips so they don't need that internal button cell battery anymore. batteries = bad no batteries = good.
A very, very neat idea! I've seen 3rd party ones like that but wasn't sure if the rumble was reduced due to poor power draw. But getting off of batteries in both cases is an awesome idea! 👍
Ohh so that's the use of that things....to increase the experience of the gameplay no wonder it's vibrate when I'm playing rampage. Thank man👍
Rampage! Feel the thunderous shock ripple through your controller as you destroy your enemy - and the city 😁 Thanks for watching!
my first experience with haptic feedback was with pokemon pinball
The Game Boy Color game? Awesome!
Good review man
Thank you! 🙏 Appreciate it!
2:30 your video's great but i only looked for a good source of the sound it makes when someone inserts the rumble pack. godly.
Haha a sound for the ages, ASMR worthy 🦻
Thanks for watching/listening 🙌
The N64 Rumble Pak is the best way to play WCW vs. nWo World Tour, WCW/nWo Revenge, WWF WrestleMania 2000 and WWF No Mercy.
N64 had some amazing wrestling games! And the Rumble Pak was definitely one of the best contributions to gaming, then and since 👍 Thanks for watching
I got NES Classic Edition from Thinkgeek at The Park Mall Arlington Texas
It's a great console loaded with excellent games! Fingers crossed they do an N64 edition 🤞
Got my N64, some oem controllers, Brawler 64 Fight Pad controller, memory pack, expansion pack and plenty of games. Just need a rumble pack.
You really are in a great spot then! How do you like the Brawler 64?
Lmao i remember I found a box containing the n64 full set w/ accessories and with a dozen games.
Was so lucky I found it at a random garbage dump.
Amazing! And it all worked?
@@SvennyMcG heck yea it did. 👍
Outstanding 🙌 Love hearing stories like this 😊👍
I have one question, what games are supported by the rumble pak?
Hi! This isn't my curated list but it seems valid:
nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_games_with_Rumble_Pak_support
I have a question for anyone willing to help, does Diddy kong racing support rumble pack? Or just the Japanese re-release?
Do I need those accessories like the memory or expansion pack to save games like Mario Party 3 or Diddy Kong racing?
You only HAVE to have the Expansion Pak to play Donkey Kong 64, Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask and to play the campaign in Perfect Dark; it aids other games in resolution etc but you can play most of the N64 games library without it. Check this video here: th-cam.com/video/fsPG-KXwzzc/w-d-xo.html
To answer your question, I don't believe either Mario Party 3 or Diddy Kong Racing require a memory card. Memory cards are called the "Controller Pak" - some games require them but many do not. Some, like Mario Kart 64, use them for saving ghost race data, but saving your progress (course unlocks etc) save to the cartridge itself. I have a Controller Pak video here: th-cam.com/video/PVS7xoYBU7k/w-d-xo.html
Hi sir, you said in your video that the rumble pack was not the first device to give haptic feedback but the first to bring it to a controller. can you please give us more details about that
Absolutely! I have an AWESOME device called the Aura Interactor, a backpack a player would wear that converted sound into pulses. It was created during the Super Nintendo / Sega Genesis era and supported those consoles. I have it and am looking forward to making a video on it soon so stay tuned! 😊 Thanks for watching 👍
@@SvennyMcG awesome ！ thank you for your answer and yes, i'll be glad to watch it !
😊 appreciate it!
Did our old GameCube controllers had it built in? I can’t recall
Yes, Game Cube controllers had rumble built in 😊 They also had separate memory cards that plugged into the console, not controller. Thanks for watching!
I have one of these, mine is modded so it works without batteries :)
I love that! I'll have to check it out, did you find it difficult to do?
@@SvennyMcG No, bought it already modded but if you know how to solder, it's simple to do yourself
Very cool, I'll look into it 👍
@@SvennyMcG Here's a video about the mod th-cam.com/video/3wwWvHuccLg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks pal, appreciate it! 😊
Iv never seen these in person I thinking of getting one
IMHO they add a layer of fun, but I've always supported haptic feedback. It may not be HD rumble but it's a cool feature
@@SvennyMcG yea I getting a n64 so wanna know all good stuff plus a Pokémon fan so wanna get a transfer pak to play the ol game boy games on n64
Fantastic! I hope you check out my whole N64 Playlist as I've covered most of the different peripherals👍
Do I have to have the rumble pack to use a memory card for the N64 or can I just plug in the memory card into the controller
If you don't want to use both you don't need to have both items. However, some games allow you to got swap the two, essentially play the level with rumble then when you complete you get a prompt asking to save, at which point you unplug the rumble and put the memory card in.
Some games will allow you to put rumble in player one and put a memory card in the 2nd controller (if you have one)
Can someone please let me know how do I fix the game quake when it says looking for a controller pack and it says try again every time I try to get it to save
Controller Pak is the memory card, not the rumble pak. Do you have one in?
No I don’t have one and I have a memory card in it
I'd try cleaning the contacts on the memory card, it sounds like it's not being recognized by the system
@@SvennyMcG I did that with rubbing alcohol already and is it not work what else can I try to clean it with
If the Memory card/ controller pak looks clean try the controller port too. Try a different Memory Card too
Interesting stuff man!
Thanks for checking it out!
I got Nintendo 64 t shirt from GameStop
I think that's where I got mine too 😊
Heck yes
