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 therefor, 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.
