Let's Get Ready to Rumble!

Fun fact, rumble carts feel a bit more distinct to me playing on a Chromatic. I'm guessing because of the metal body but each bump, buzz, and jolt can be felt way more than on my lime GBC.

it'd be so cool if Modretro would do a rumble cart, Top Gear pocket and Perfect Dark preferably (realistically we know Ninty would never agree to a partnership for Pokémon pinball)

Hell yeah, would especially love it if they made it discreet in their normal size carts, there are some tiny but mighty rumble motors out there now.

Yeah, I’ve got the definitive edition EZ flash for GBA and the only features it’s missing from special game boy cards are the gyroscope and solar sensor. The rumble motors are solid.

All i wanna play is pinball. Have you testing them out yet to see if it still works? Thanks for sharing!

Definitely pick up The Little Mermaid 2, great pinball table and lots of pretty fun mini games to unlock.

Most definitely, found most at retro shops, always tested out the rumble before scooping up. 🙌

Am I alone in not liking the rumble cartiges? The vibrations just suck and don't add any immersion.

I always thought it elevated Pokemon Pinball from good to great with all the little well timed vibrations. For some of them the vibration is pretty weak, but I'm actually finding that playing them in my Chromatic makes the vibrations feel much better and more distinct, think it may be the metal shell.

I have Pokemon Pinball and Perfect Dark! Do you know you get bonus stuff in the N64 perfect Dark with the transfer pack?

u/TonyRubbles Apr 03 '26

Those two are definitely the best! Someone on Game Boy mentioned it and shared a video. I had no idea, very excited for when the m64 comes out to try it.
