Rumble feature has also arrived to the Nintendo DS and DS Lite via a rumble cartridge that fit in the GBA slot 😉 But it works only with the "rumble compatible" DS games.
Yes! Funny you mention that because I made a few videos about this very topic. Here is one of them: ua-cam.com/video/ohd1r1xHjCY/v-deo.html (Thanks for watching!)
Thanks, it took some effort (and money) to collect all these. Keep in mind, these are just the US released GBC Rumble Pak games. There are still a few Japan-exclusive Rumble Pak carts but I did mention these in my video here.
12:05 "Due to the limitations of the hardware the screen hard cuts", this feels like a very odd thing to blame it on, especially since you already showed the exact same hardware doing smooth scrolling pinball tables at 4:15 and 20:10
Omg! The rumble on Tarzan actually works! I just tried it on my EZ Flash DE and whenever "pumba" runs over you, it gives you a little two-rumble jolt! That's so cool! I didn't think it was going to work at first because nothing else was setting it off but as soon as I got hit by the warthog, I felt it. Edit: It's actually a fairly impressive game visually for the gbc (very fluid animations) but unfortunately, there's a pretty annoying sound feedback issue with the Goomba emulator that the EZ Flash uses. Still, it's really neat getting to experience this game in a way that no one ever was able to officially. Edit 2: After playing through 3 stages, so far the only thing that triggers the rumble is "Pumba" stampeding towards you. Not sure if there are other enemies later on that do it or if they never got around to finishing the rumble stuff. So yeah, so far it's pretty underwhelming but still neat, nonetheless.
YES! Thank you for confirming! I’m going to need to pick up an EZ Flash DE to try this myself. And thanks for watching my video and taking note of my Tarzan fact (which probably means you watched my entire video, in which you have my thanks).
@@ZackGaz Surething! It's such a cool easter egg to learn about and test after so many years. Makes you wonder if there are any others designed with rumble that shipped without it. And I can definitely vouch for the EZ Flash DE. I've had it for about two months and it's been great so far. I've got an EZ Flash Junior too and the quality of the DE is leaps and bounds higher. It's a definite contender to the Everdrive, imo. Really enjoyed the vid and made sure to sub. Glad I was able to help out! If you end up getting the DE, you should consider doing a little addendum video for Tarzan!
@@MoonsideResident So I bought an EZ Flash Def Edition for the rumble feature. However, when I boot up Tarzan GBC, the game doesn't load. I just get a black screen. Is there any way you can email me your file of Disney's Tarzan so I can test the rumble feature myself, or send me the link where you got it? I might have an older or different version of the ROM. (other GBC rumble games work just fine so I think it might be the Tarzan file that I have...). That would help me tons!
@@ZackGaz Hey, just saw your message. I believe mine is from an "everdrive" rom pack torrent. I'm always leery about sharing/linking roms publicly (especially a Disney one, heh) but I can send it to you privately; just let me know where.
Man this video is fantastic! I recently got a little mermaid ii pinball and was wondering what all of the other game boy color games are that have rumble then I come across your video! Thank you!
Thanks! It took me a ton of time and effort to compile all this info into one video. Had really limited video software too but did the best I could. Glad you found it and enjoyed it. I've been covering other obscure gaming peripherals and accessories (like the DS rumble paks and Taito Arkanoid paddle controller) here on my channel too. So if you like the weirder stuff, you are in the right place, my friend! Thanks for the comment.
Yup! And when playing the Pokemon Pinball sequel on a Gamecube Gameboy Player, rumble is transferred through the controller. Check out my video on all GBA Gamecube Rumble Pak compatible games here: ua-cam.com/video/GBjoD_vJPZ4/v-deo.html
@@ZackGaz if playing the original Pokemon Pinball on the GameCube Game Boy Player it'll STILL rumble (but not the controller) as it thinks it's being played on a normal GBC
It is cool to have them and hunt for them, but there really isn't anything here that is an absolute must-play. Either way, I still think these games deserve some credit for trying something different. Thanks for watching my video and the comment.
ive been hunting for the whole collection for about 6 years now. I can say my fav game of the collection is Star Wars racer as the multiplayer link mode is a lot of fun. Also the mGBA emulator for the nintendo switch has the rumble mode on by default
Star Wars Ep 1 Racer is one of the better Rumble enabled GBC games, especially if you can play link mode with another human. It took me a while to build my collection. Some games were harder to acquire, like 3D Pinball, but eBay and gaming cons can be your friend in this case. Thanks for watching!
My favorite was taking the Gameboy color Legend of the River King 2 ROM and making it Rumble with the Gameboy ROM Analyzer. You set the cartridge type to 1EH and fix the header and play it on the Pow Kiddy V90 after you firmware update it. After you Etch and Partition it it works great. The Data is all there from the Japanese version so all you need to do is enable it. Nushi Tsuri Adventure-Kite no Bouken English patch with Luna is great too for Gameboy Color. The Pow Kiddy V90 has stereo sound as well so that's a plus.
I like hearing stories of devs that added the rumble feature and left the code there but then the physical rumble was pulled at the last second - I highlighted Tarzan in my video as an example of this. Sucks that it didn't happen but makes for an interesting story. Thanks for watching.
Polaris Snocross looks quite impressive for a GBC game. Unfortunately, we only got a rumble-less version here in Europe, it's probably not as fun without it.
Correct. It was released as "Polaris Snocross" here in the States but simply "Snocross" in other regions. Most likely because of licensing, but it is essentially the same game. The AI will always smoke you though so it is frustratingly unbalanced. But the 3D vehicles are nicely rendered. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Thanks. I covered all the GBC rumble pak games here if you wanted to see more: ua-cam.com/play/PL9exeo9gYxCZ6LHRhWpY2dpNaS7W9L2pw.html I also made some videos about the DS Rumble Paks as well. They can also be found here on my channel. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Very unfortunate there weren’t any better games. And it’s a shame Top Gear Pocket 2 didn’t have the rumble because it would have been one of the better titles.
Agreed. The Rumble games aren't exactly the highest quality. Pokemon Pinball and Perfect Dark are the best out of bunch. The Japan-version of Top Gear Pocket 2 had rumble but it was removed when it was brought stateside. Oh well... Thanks for watching! This video took a ton of time to make so I appreciate the comment.
Thanks for watching and the comment. This video took a long time to make. Yes, the original GBA and GBA SP models are backwards compatible with GB and GBC games. So if you play any of these Rumble Pak GBC games in a GBA or GBA SP, the Rumble will work. However, the GB Micro is not backwards compatible with GB/GBC carts so that will obviously not work. Finally, you can play these Rumble Pak games in a Gamecube Gameboy Player but the rumble won't transfer through a Gamecube controller or anything like that - it will literally shake your Gamecube if you leave the Rumble function activated.

@@ZackGaz thank you, the link cable series that you're doing are so informative. I'm currently exploring the ds/wii connectivity features using a 3ds in DS mode, that's why and somehow I encountered your amazing Channel. Keep It Up!
@@kmika7e7 There were some cool and underappreciated Wii-DS connectivity features. When the Wii's Nintendo Channel was still active, you could download DS demos to your DS through your Wii. The other big one that comes to mind is FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: ECHOES OF TIME. This game has multiplayer cross-platform WiFi capabilities which was really cool. Doesn't seem like many players took advantage of this cool feature though. Playing the same game on your DS with your buddy that is on a Wii is insanely cool if you ask me.
@@ZackGaz yes the FF crossplay case is very unique given the hardware difference in terms of power. My experiments have been pretty hit and miss. I succeeded pairing my 3Ds (Castlevania Order of Ecclesia) with the wii (Castlevania Judgement) unlocking hidden content for both sides. I also managed to draw a custom face with my 3ds (here with the Download Play Mode) and trasnfer It to Big Beach Sports on the Wii. OTOH I failed trying to pair both consoles with Batman Brave and the Bold or Ultimate Band, wifi seems to disconnect once I execute the DS mode, maybe it's cause I'm using a 3ds..? Couldn't find the pairing option in Driver San Francisco either; I assume it's explained in the manual but I didn't find a PDF copy on the net. As you can see there's some field for exploration as in your current GBA series 😁. I don't know if you have a spare Wii around but if you decide to cover the DS-Wii connectivity issue would be much appreciated since the sources adressing this are very scarce.
@@kmika7e7 Oh man, yes, this is awesome and we should probably be best friends. I like this obscure stuff and glad to see you also have an interest in this underappreciated topic. If I ever finish my GBA Single-Pak project, I was considering researching Wii-to-DS stuff just like you said. Now, if only I can find the time...
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer was my third gameboy game and it took me a long time to beat it as a kid. I didn't think there were this many rumble games, to be honest.
I believe it or not still have the Shock & Rock pack for my GBC because it had a built in battery pack. As for games I had the Pokémon Pinball, Vigilante 8, Star Wars Racer, & the Fishing game but they ate the battery for the rumble worse than all 6 batteries in a Game Gear
Oh nice! How does the Shock'n Rock work on GBC? I actually have one for my NGPC and it works a lot better than I thought. I have no idea how it works but it makes non-rumble games rumble!
@@ZackGaz yeah actually it makes all games have a rumble. Like I played all the Zelda games (Links Awakening & Seasons/Ages) & it's pretty good at detecting when you hit something or get hit it will rumble. Same with Mario games although sometimes it will randomly rumble with you jump & go down a pipe then other times it won't
@@guardianbeardizer6361 That's awesome. I will probably try and track one down. My NGPC color version worked well so I would assume the same for Gameboy. Thanks for the info.
@@ZackGaz you can find them on eBay for decent prices, they're worth it plus the built in rechargable battery is a nice addition & last a pretty good amount of time & if the batteries are DOA you can replace them by 2 Triple A's Soldered onto the contacts which is what I did over time.
Strangely, over half of these were either not released in Europe or, even more interestingly, got rumble-less European releases; I don't know why this would be, though: do Europeans really resent using batteries compared to Americans? Was the GBA AC/DC adaptor more common in Europe? Maybe an industry insider will reveal one day.
I am guessing they were released in America first. Then depending on the sales of those games, publishers decided to remove the Rumble feature to save cost. So if I had to guess, it was a cost issue.
I had top gear pocket, vigilante 8, and perfect dark as a kid. Perfect dark was fun, but a bit too challenging for me as a kid and I think I lost interest when it got tough. The story, or lack of it, might have also lost me. Top gear pocket was a bit repetitive and short. The car movement also wasn't convincing; it looked like a stationary sprite that just rotated, and once I saw that I couldn't unsee it. I think i finished the game though. Looking at Vigilane 8 now, it looks like it would be super fun, and car combat is probably my favorite game genre of all time... however, I remember playing and all I could think was, "This is bad! How could it be this bad?!" LOL. The controls made it hard to steer and hit people properly and you'd run into things on the courses so turning around to hit them was tough. Maybe as an adult, my opinion on these would change, but as a kid that's what I thought.
Thanks for watching and the comment. When I made this video, I realized that all these Rumble Pak games are maybe average at best. Perfect Dark is more impressive than good just because it uses every hardware feature of the GBC. But like you said, it is overly difficult in spots. As mentioned in my video, Vigilante 8 would actually be a pretty decent game if twin-stick controls were implemented because it is nearly impossible to move and shoot with any sort of accuracy. And basically all the racing games are just not that great. Star Wars Ep1 Racer isn't terrible but also gets super hard quickly. Pokemon Pinball might be the most fun GBC Rumble Pak compatible game but the sequel on GBA was much better. Check out my GBA games that support the Rumble feature on the Gameboy Player video too: ua-cam.com/video/GBjoD_vJPZ4/v-deo.html
@@ZackGaz Thanks. I still had fun with all of them. I agree with you about Perfect dark. Top gear was just too short. Vigilante 8 I think if the turning radius was tighter or the maps were bigger/more spaced apart, would have worked well. Then again I was a little kid and my memory is a bit fuzzy. I really enjoyed the video, it was great to see the whole collection together and it's super interesting to see that hardware. I might purchase a few out of curiosity as well;). Will definitely check out your other vid. I think gyro controls on the game boy systems are also interesting. Wonder if you've done a video on that
@@viridionwaves Yes, I have covered gyro games!

The black cart means it will play on both original GB (and Gameboy Pocket) and GBC, whereas the clear carts are GBC only. The physical size should be the same between the two although I never tried Frankensteining them together myself...
@@ZackGaz Thanks! Frankensteining is exactly what I have in mind! :D Love the yellow front shell and Japanese sticker art, but want to add the translucent back shell so I can see the innards and rumble motor when I play it!
@@jimmydiggincats I never tried it so I cannot say for sure. However, part of me thinks it might not work because I think there is a very small difference in black carts vs clear carts at the bottom... so when inserted into a GB, GBP, GBC, or GBA, it knows what type of game it is and if can play on that system. So if you take the innards of a GBC game and put them in a black GB cart, I want to say it won't work. Again, not 100% but that would be my guess. If you test it, let me know what you find.
Hello! All GBC Rumble games are covered in this video and a list is available in the full description. But I think 3D Ultra Pinball is the game you are referencing (or Disney's Little Mermaid Pinball).
ZEBCO Fishing actually has one of the best uses of Rumble on GBC. Like I said in my video, it is basically required to play the game. Unfortunately, the game itself isn't very good. There are much better fishing games out there, even on GB and GBC (Legend of River King, for example).
@@ZackGaz I have only Top gear Rally, Perfect Dark and Pokemon Pinball. My favorite game is Top Gear Rally (even if Top Gear Rally Pocket 2 is better ... at least for me). Thank you for the video 👍😊
WarioWare Twisted and Drill Dozer are great games and the rumble build into those carts worked well. I also made a video comparing DS Rumble Pak carts if you wanted to check that out: ua-cam.com/video/ohd1r1xHjCY/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and the comment.

Still, it's really neat getting to experience this game in a way that no one ever was able to officially.
Edit 2: After playing through 3 stages, so far the only thing that triggers the rumble is "Pumba" stampeding towards you.

When I made this video, I realized that all these Rumble Pak games are maybe average at best. Perfect Dark is more impressive than good just because it uses every hardware feature of the GBC. But like you said, it is overly difficult in spots.
As mentioned in my video, Vigilante 8 would actually be a pretty decent game if twin-stick controls were implemented because it is nearly impossible to move and shoot with any sort of accuracy.
And basically all the racing games are just not that great. Star Wars Ep1 Racer isn't terrible but also gets super hard quickly. Pokemon Pinball might be the most fun GBC Rumble Pak compatible game but the sequel on GBA was much better.
Check out my GBA games that support the Rumble feature on the Gameboy Player video too:

@@ZackGaz Thanks. I still had fun with all of them. I agree with you about Perfect dark. Top gear was just too short. Vigilante 8 I think if the turning radius was tighter or the maps were bigger/more spaced apart, would have worked well. Then again I was a little kid and my memory is a bit fuzzy. I really enjoyed the video, it was great to see the whole collection together and it's super interesting to see that hardware. I might purchase a few out of curiosity as well;). Will definitely check out your other vid. I think gyro controls on the game boy systems are also interesting. Wonder if you've done a video on that
@@viridionwaves Yes, I have covered gyro games!
Check out this GBA game:

I also covered every GBA game that supports the Single Pak link multiplayer mode:

Are the opaque and translucent cart shells the exact same dimensions?
i.e. Are they interchangeable?
The black cart means it will play on both original GB (and Gameboy Pocket) and GBC, whereas the clear carts are GBC only. The physical size should be the same between the two although I never tried Frankensteining them together myself...
@@ZackGaz Thanks! Frankensteining is exactly what I have in mind! :D
Love the yellow front shell and Japanese sticker art, but want to add the translucent back shell so I can see the innards and rumble motor when I play it!
@@jimmydiggincats I never tried it so I cannot say for sure. However, part of me thinks it might not work because I think there is a very small difference in black carts vs clear carts at the bottom... so when inserted into a GB, GBP, GBC, or GBA, it knows what type of game it is and if can play on that system. So if you take the innards of a GBC game and put them in a black GB cart, I want to say it won't work. Again, not 100% but that would be my guess.
If you test it, let me know what you find.

Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
What is the pinball game left of Pokémon?? I use to have this as a kid
Hello! All GBC Rumble games are covered in this video and a list is available in the full description. But I think 3D Ultra Pinball is the game you are referencing (or Disney's Little Mermaid Pinball).
In your opinion the ZEBCO has a decent humble and the game is good?
ZEBCO Fishing actually has one of the best uses of Rumble on GBC. Like I said in my video, it is basically required to play the game. Unfortunately, the game itself isn't very good. There are much better fishing games out there, even on GB and GBC (Legend of River King, for example).
Interesting 👍😊
I have a bunch of those games.
Which ones? Which are your favorite? (Thanks for watching!)
@@ZackGaz
I have only Top gear Rally, Perfect Dark and Pokemon Pinball.
My favorite game is Top Gear Rally (even if Top Gear Rally Pocket 2 is better ... at least for me).
Thank you for the video 👍😊
@@user-zo9dc1lu3q Awesome! Glad to see another GBC Rumble Pak player out there.
dzounar, thanks for the chance!
Miss my old gbc
I missed my GBC... Can't remember where to put and probably already broken 😂
Amazing!!!
Don't have the rumble on when playing on a Game Boy Player!
True! Don't shake that console.
@@ZackGaz Yes, it's not Shake 'n Bake, and it WON'T help!
nice!
Done
No Rumble in GBA and DS??
Sorry Drill Dozer and Wario Ware Twisted, the people have forgotten you guys, you too rumblepack for DS and DS Lite
WarioWare Twisted and Drill Dozer are great games and the rumble build into those carts worked well. I also made a video comparing DS Rumble Pak carts if you wanted to check that out: ua-cam.com/video/ohd1r1xHjCY/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching and the comment.
