Title: DS Rumble Pak Now Free with Metroid Prime: Hunters
Post by: Svevan on May 02, 2006, 02:18:17 PM
If you want one.

Did You Know?    


Metroid Prime Hunters Fans Get Ready to Rumble - For Free    


Nintendo is shaking things up this summer by offering a free Nintendo DS   Rumble Pak(TM) with the purchase of Metroid(R) Prime Hunters for Nintendo   DS(TM).  The accessory fits into the Game Boy(R) Advance cartridge slot and   delivers good vibrations to immerse players even further in the smack-talking,   morph-balling, Wi-Fi multi-playing Metroid action that Nintendo DS owners are   raving about.    


Since its March 20 launch, Metroid Prime Hunters has impressed players   with its beautiful graphics and deeply engaging game play.  Six new bounty   hunters, Wi-Fi multi-player action, voice chat and intergalactic rumblings in   the palms of players' hands make this a bold and distinct chapter in the epic   franchise.    


Free Rumble Paks with Metroid Prime Hunters purchase are now available at   select retailers for a limited time and while supplies last.

Is Metroid Prime Hunters not selling as well as expected?  It seems kind of odd for them to suddenly offer this promotion for no reason.

Yes I did know.  And I'm assuming that any smack-talking would be negated by the loud noise the bloody thing makes.  If it was advertising to rumble our eardrums, then I'd say I'd agree with the name "rumble pak".

im guessing the rumble pak sucks?  Oh well, i already have metroid prime hunters and seriously don't care for the rumble pak.

Maybe Nintendo has a huge warehouse of crappy rumble packs and they want to get rid of them.  That's probably pretty likely.

Could this be because they need to clear inventory before releasing a Lite version of the Pak?

Probably not, but I don't want a rumble pak hanging out of my DS Lite (whenever I actually pick one up.)

Free WiFi dongle would've been a better idea.

I know I said they missed the boat on free dongles by not giving them out with Mario Kart, but if they can overlap and try again with the Rumble Pak, they can overlap and try again with the WiFi dongle.

BTW, doesn't giving the Pak away free with Metroid Prime Pinball, and then giving it away free with Metroid Prime Hunters, cause an abnormally large overlap?

Wumble Pak works well with Metroid Prime Steak Pinball, not so well with Mario & Luigi and Super Princess Umbrella Face. Now it just sits on the shelf.

'Here's hoping they offer it to people who've already bought the game--รก la pink Kirby stylus.

No.  So far only Metroid Prime Pinball, Mario & Luigi 2 and Metroid Prime Hunters.  Maybe Princess Peach (but I can't remember).  I think New Super Mario Bros will also support it, but don't quote me on that.
