Nintendo Japan has launched a new vibration cartridge for the DS Lite, which is now on sale via the company's official website priced at YEN 1200 (just over EURO 8).

A rumble cartridge for the original DS has already been on sale for some time, but the new version is designed specially to fit into the DS Lite without protruding.

At present, only three titles utilise the vibration function - Mario & Luigi RPG 2, Metroid Prime Pinball and Shunkan Puzloop. A fourth game, Metroid Prime Hunters, is due to launch in Japan on June 1st.

As yet there's no word on whether the rumble cart will also go on sale in Europe, where the DS Lite is set to hit shops on June 23rd.
