Nintendo finds yet another way to make the Virtual Console's N64 emulation even worse

[Sacred Jellybean]

NOOOOO NOOOOOO THE SKY IS FALLING NO MORE RUMBLE THE END IS NEAR NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

In all seriousness, I never understood the excitement behind rumbling to begin with. I always turn it off on Melee and ignore it in any other game where you either can't turn it off, or I'm too lazy to sift through the needed menus to do so. Rumbling pales in comparison to something like force feedback, or motion-sensor control. It's not even a good gimmick to immerse the players into the game. That's right, I said it. Up yours, Nintendo.

so this does not affect me a whole lot.

You're the Great Rumbler. If anyone should be upset, it's you.

That stone of agony pretty much requires a rumble pack as there's no other user feedback to let you know when there's secret holes afoot.

I forgot about this. Was the Stone of Agony required to complete the game, or was it just an item to help complete everything inside the game? I'm pretty sure it's the latter, so it probably isn't a huge deal.

-No Rareware games other than perhaps DKR and DK64.

Now THIS is something to cringe about. Luckily, I already own all the great Rare games (JFG, the Banjo games, Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, et. al.). I guess the people who never got the chance to play these games don't even know what they're missing, for the most part.
