E3 ends, Metroid Pinball. DS Rumble Pack seen?
Metroid Pinball. At first looking to be a sad direction for the Metroid Series, Metroid Pinball is shaping up to surpass people's expectations. The entire concept of using Samus as a pinball works well, but still, it's pinball and this is the Metroid franchise we are talking about
Speculate as you may, this is not my point. Metroid Pinball has included rumble on on the e3 showfloor. Using the GBA slot, it provides a strong rumble similar to the Nintendo 64, although whether this drains the DS battery (and how), we do not know yet.
"One major surprise is that some copies of Metroid Prime Pinball on the show floor featured rumble capability. Yes, rumble as in force feedback like Pokemon Pinball. This obviously couldn't be built into the tiny DS packs, so I had a look underneath the DS playing the game and it had a GBA cartridge plugged in as well. I figured that the GBA cartridge was the one doing the rumbling, and this was later confirmed by PGC chum Chris Kohler. Apparently Chris saw someone booting up a DS with Metroid Prime Pinball in it, and the initial selection screen said that there was a "GBA Option Pak" in the GBA cartridge slot. I'm not sure whether or not Nintendo will sell this standalone Rumble Pak for use with rumble-enabled games, but it definitely exists. Hopefully it will be a pack-in when Metroid Prime Pinball is released, because it works like a charm."
More when it becomes available. E3 ended today.

Why else would DS game cases have a GBA cartridge holder too, now it makes sense!
^To play GBA games and use accesories. Duh.
Good news and bad. Where's the Revo controller?!?!

The Revolution controller, along with everything worthwhile mentioning is being developed and kept secret so Nintendo's competition doesn't steal it.
Laugh if you want, or insult away, but it's been done in the past, why wouldn't it be done again.
Besides, PS3 and Xbox 360's controllers are lame. We are expected to keep the same controller for nearly 8 years? And in Sony's case, 12 years (and longer?) That's abserd.
Sure they have powerful machines, but whats the point of having photorealistic graphics if you are using a control system that is more than a decade old.
It's only a matter of time before the graphic fans wake up and realize there is more to a game.

Well said. ^_^
I don't see any problem in keeping the same controller through a few generations if it works well. The PS controller was simple, and worked great, and it was an easy fit for PS2. The PS3 controller looks bulky and uncomfortable, though. XBOX looks to be alright.
The gamecube controller was one of my personal favorites, and I really hope Ninendo doesn't change it too drastically.
I really can't see a simple controller redesign "revolutionize" the way we play video games. I love Nintendo and all, but I think they're just going to add one or two gimmicy features to the controller like they always do with their hardware, and I'll be very suprised if it lives up to the name of "Revolution." I really hope they prove me wrong, because I love Nintendo, and they very seldomly let me down. I would love to see them create something unique and impressive, but I won't get my hopes up just yet.
