Abstract
A controller pack includes a case and a lid detachably attached to the case, and the controller pack is detachably attached to an opening portion of a controller. A vibration source is fixed to the lid. When a specific CPU address and data are outputted from terminals, an electric power of a battery is applied to the vibration source by a driver circuit, and therefore, the vibration source generates a vibration. The vibration generated by the vibration source is conveyed from the lid to the controller, and then, to hands of a player grasping the controller.
Claims16
A video game system comprising:
- a video game program executing processing system for executing a video game program;
- a hand-held player controller connected to said video game program executing processing system and operable by a player to generate video game control signals for said video game program;
