Hi all.

Ok, I was playing ZombiU then realised after a while that the rumble doesn't work in the pad except for when I use the scanner, I just get a weak short vibration when I use it. Using the cricket bat or gun I get no vibration at all.

Same for the Zelda game in Nintendo Land, I get a gentle vibration when I fire an arrow but it's very weak. The gamepad rattles as well on the right side, is something loose?

Also, I've never seen the light come on on the Home button.

Is any of this normal? I don't really want the hassle of packing it all up and taking it back to the store if I can help it.

As far as the light goes, I've never seen it light up. I believe it only does that for notifications, which I haven't turned on.

I don't get weak rumble, but I also don't know about those games in particular. I've only played 20 minutes of ZombiU and I haven't touched Battle Quest yet.

I've noticed so far in AC3 the rumble feels real weak as well, could be the size of the controller, can't comment on Nintendo Land because I can't recall what the rumble felt like on that.

I see, did you not get as far as using a weapon in ZombiU?

I know for a fact from someone else it should vibrate when using the bat or a gun but I get nothing on mine.

UPDATE: Anyway, went back to GAME and they exchanged the gamepad for a new one (after the manager made a lengthy phone call to someone). That was surprisingly hassle free. Hopefully this one works ok.

Nah, had to go somewhere at the time, and I didn't save. I've been playing my other games though.

no light on Home button - check
feeble rumble - check
right side rattle - check
NO worries - check

Say HI to the community, glad to meet you all - CHECK!

The new pad is exactly the same. I guess it's just normal then. Can't understand why there is no rumble in ZombiU when there is an option for it in the settings. I wouldn't call a very weak vibration when you use the scanner a rumble feature, lol.

My light works quite well and my rumble works brilliantly, as for the notifications, sometimes when I go on MiiVerse it says I havn't got any, even when I have, probably a software problem.
