The DS lite version of the Rumble Pak is now available in Japan’s Nintendo Online Store. Japanese DS gamers can now enjoy some smooth rumbling without having to deal with the original Rumble Pak sticking out 1cm from their DS lite.
Back when the DS lite was announced in January, the Rumble Pak was already rumored to see a redesign exclusive for the new, smaller portable, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in American stores by next month. Future titles to support the DS Rumble Pak are Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Star Fox DS and Magnetica.

Oh and you’re playing Mario’s Picross? Sweetness!
Clay Handley - 05.29.06 4:04 am
Cool. But I wonder if they’ll release them in DS Lite colours respectively…

The rumble pack sucks so I really don’t care -_-

yeah its nice to see Nintendo thinking about the DS lite’s accesories. And i also wonder if they have sorted out the noise problem (which was the only thing preventing me from buying one) and it might look rubbish if they only bring out a black one and i buy a WHITE DS….

What If They Make All GBA Games Like That.. granted, if there’s any more..
Anyways, That Just Makes All These Regular Rumble Paks Less Worthy.. To Lite Owners At Least..
hopefully the fixed it..

What noise problem? Is there a DS rumble pack review anywhere online?
Hope they release it in white too…

I was right!

It looks pretty dark in colour, with no mention of options, so I’m glad I’ve got a Navy DS Lite

I think Rumble Pak should be a new fighter in Smash Bros.

I always thought the noise was kinda funny…
By the way, this leads me to think, what if DS Lite can actually play games off the new Gameboy. What if that’s how it’s cartidges look, because if Nintendo’s gonna stay loyal to the amazing backwards compatability on all Gameboys (except Mirco, but I dont think that counts), then they have to keep the same base shape but they can change the cartridge size, right?

I want one for my DS lite, but i also want it in the color of my white DS!

Has anyone else noticed how the left side of the top of the DS Lite carts for GBA (like the slot covers and this) slot have an extralong piece of plastic?

Hopefully they will Rebundle Old titles such as Metroid Hunters with the new Rumble Pack in America.

It’s because the GBA port on the Lite has a weird opening off to that one side for some reason. It’s probably just for aesthetics, so it looks centered when the port itself is off to the right a bit.

^^ not only so it looks centered, but also so it’s not accidentally inserted into a normal GBA or DS without any hope of coming back out.

Well, Europe neve even got the first one yet. But we do have the games, you know.
Nice going…
