Rumble Pak

The Rumble Pak is a removable device from Nintendo which provides force feedback while playing video games. Games that support the Rumble Pak cause it to vibrate in select situations, such as when firing a weapon or receiving damage, to immerse the player in the game.

The use of external Rumble Paks, since their introduction, is rare today, mainly because the force feedback vibration that they provide has become a built-in standard feature in almost every home video game console controller since.

The Rumble Pak originally came bundled with Star Fox 64.

Reception
The Rumble Pak was critically acclaimed upon its release, praising its simple and yet so innovative concept that added more realism to videogames.

In TWGNews's "Top 10 Controller Innovations" article, the Rumble Pak is listed as #8, saying "the Rumble Pak added a whole new level of immersion to the fifth generation of video games".
