Well, that makes it clear it is pretty much pointless for me to get a rumble pack as those are the only 4 games I have that use it, pretty much the rest don't interest me, and I have a paddle that will be occupying the slot for SIE and SIE2.

Oh well, hopefully the discussion is turning out to be useful for others. :)

Don't say that. I only had one (thought I had two, stupid Bowser's Inside Story) and I still picked it up. It's a pretty cool thing to have, especially if you find it cheap. :)

(I haven't even used mine yet. :lol:)

If you buy a dedicated rumble pack (which is relatively cheap compared to the 3 in 1) I would say it may be worth it just for Metroid Prime Pinball, if you play enough of MPP.
