No rumble for N64 VC games

[wraggster]

The Rumble Pak was one of the N64's many great innovations, accentuating in-game crashes, bumps and explosions by shaking the controller.

But when N64 games arrive on the Virtual Console retro downloads system on Wii, they'll lack forcefeedback support, Nintendo has confirmed to CVG in a Q&A regarding the Virtual Console.

This might be due to the lack of a rumble feature in the Classic Controller, which will be the primary controller for playing Virtual Console games on Wii. But with the option to play VC games with a GameCube controller, which does feature a rumble motor, we had hoped that games would retain their pad-shaking features.

surely the rumble from the wii remote would provide feedback in the classic controller

THe classic controller is the one that sort of looks like an old SNES pad except with analogue sticks. I think you can only use the Wii Mote for NES games if you turn it on its side. 64 games will have to be played with cube pads or the classic controller. Dont understand why the cube pad's rumble feature cant be used though?
