Excellent product

Works great with action games and supports the Nintendo logo, not some cheap reproduction. Does not show hidden items in Zelda but great with Mario cart and smash bros

The Nintendo 64 is a classic console with some of the best games of all time. I find that a rumble pack clicked into your controller enhances the gaming experience tenfold! I bought a few of the official Nintendo 64 rumble pacs and everyone loves them. They make the controller vibrate and react to games like modern controllers do! They are well worth the purchase if your gamer and want that full immersive gaming session!

The 2 rumble paks are good. One of them needs a real deep cleaning. No worries, will do.Happy with the items. Thanks

I like many others got my first rumble pak with Star Fox 64, and remembered it fondly; however years passed and I never bothered plugging in the pak while playing.When playing Ocarina I wanted to use the secret rumble feature so I bought this one, and put off my playing for a week.Upon receiving and using it I was pleased by the hidden item rumble, and amazed by the rich rumble that was added to many of my N64 games.The vibration is stronger than that of my heavily used PS3 controller, and some of the games put it to excellent use, especially reaching games.If you want to add a bit more fun to your old carts, use the rumble pak. Oh and get a Brawler64 controller.

Before rumble was a default in controllers, Nintendo had perfected the art of an optional add-on that would allow the Nintendo 64 controller to vibrate during gameplay. This device was simply known as the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak.As some of you may remember, Star Fox 64 was the game that included this for free with the game cartridge. Unfortunately, not every game was compatible with it since it was released in ’97. But after its release, many titles attempted to include rumble functionality, adding a whole new immersion of gameplay in the process.People take rumble for granted nowadays, so it’s difficult to write a review for a product that would likely not stir up the same amount of awe it conjured about a decade or so ago. However, it is easy to pick up one of these devices for a few bucks or so, and thus, the price justifies the “time capsule” factor. Just make sure to check that the games you own or plan to own are compatible.The N64 Rumble Pak is not a critical add-on to any particular software, though many games utilize it in such a way that makes the price of admission worth it. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one of the N64’s most popular titles, has a feature where, upon obtaining a certain in-game item, the controller will vibrate to let the player know there is a Gold Skulltula nearby. It will also vibrate in general gameplay, such as when the player hits an enemy with Link’s sword or falls from a high area. Most other games have this same type of basic integration.A downside to this device is the extra bulkiness that tags along since the device leeches off the back of the N64 controller’s slot, though it is not enough extra weight to complain about. Because it uses the back slot, this also means a memory card cannot be present at the same time (though most games save the main data directly to the game cartridge itself, anyway). The worst aspect is the fact that in order to operate, the device needs two AAA batteries. However, the batteries will last a good amount of time, and third-party options are available to those who wish to avoid using batteries altogether.Overall, I would suggest this for anybody who has or is building a large N64 collection. Otherwise, it is not necessary for an occasional, casual romp with the system.

I was skeptical at first but this was an official Nintendo 64 rumble Pak and it’s in great condition! This worked perfectly on my N64 controllers, both official and third party! (only tested on a Hori Pad Mini 64 and official controller btw)

Works exactly as I expected. Very smooth, crisp rumble that adds a lot to gameplay. The original is superior to bulky knockoffs and it connects much better to the controllers.
