The people at Ninty have put something new into the GameCube! And guess what! It's to stop kids damaging the GameCube discs!
On the Playstation and Dreamcast, to take the disc out, you have to pull it. But on the GameCube they have added a special 'ejecter' button that lifts the disc up so it doesn't break. Hah! Who would be that clumsy?

The rumble feature should be implemented into more games and in more situations.
I haven't bought one there a waste of money and batteries, i got one free with Lylat wars but it just got on my nerves.

You paid £15? You can get them at some Currys stores for £1.99! Or at woolworths for £3.99 for a joint rumble/1meg save!

who cares rumble packs have always been rather cack, who wants to spend £15 on something that makes your conroller shake. I would rather bye a cheap game.

actually, more or less ALL rumble features work in that way! but some work better than others due to the size of the components and how the rumble pak is actually meant to function, e.g. some rumble paks rumble when they are sent an electronic message in the games programming i.e in goldeneye, when you fire your pistol part of the programming in the game is meant to make the pak rumble so a message is sent at just before that precise milisecond, in order to give you force-feedback when it's designed to.
Another type of Rumble pak is the type seen in gameboy peripherals such as the shock "n" rock for the GBC, the reason this rumbles with every game is because it has a special chip linked in with the rumble mechanism which measures the volume of the sound and sound effects in the game, and then sends a constant series of messages which are variable to the sound in the game, this constant stream of messages is sent to a converter chip in-between the rumble mechanism and the sound chip, and this converter then turns the sound data that has been collected and passed on and then turns it into information that the rumble mechanism can understand and then produces the desired rumble effect for the appropriate level of sound e.g. with quiet sound FX and music, you will get a constant low rumble, and with bass heavy sound FX and music, you will get sudden jolts of high velocity force feedbck (it rumbles more and heavier) anyway that is the way that the rumble paks of today work, i just thought you might just like to know!

it doesn't really matter if the gc is aimed at little kids because it will still have some adult games. look at the n64. it still has some resident evils, some turoks and conkers bad fur day. it is sort of considered babyish and those games r not for babies.
i suppose the design of the N64 pad couldnt fit the rumble tings inside. i'm just guessin though. u ever open up you PS pad? all it is jusst some flippin magnets spining round! nothing advacned really is it! does anyone know if the rumble paks work in the same way? i seem to have lost mine, they never really added to the gameplay that much anyway.
What's the point in a rumble pak? The rumble pad is infinitely much better. It comes with it, doesn't need batteries, it's stereo. Nintendo may have been the first company to have rumble PAKs but it's nothing to show off about!
yes but he was talking about rumble paks..not analogue rumble...

Aha, no. The rumble analog sticks came out in Japan way before the N64 was even released. Remember our first analog pads? Well, the Jap versions were released with rumble. So, eat that Gas man.
