Wii Can’t Rumble?

I caught this one on Kotaku, and the concept disturbs me greatly.
Nevertheless, according to this scan from the UK magazine NGame, Rumble is entirely out in the Wii. The much tiny speaker has replaced it in the design and they even quote Shigeru Miyamoto.
Assuming this is true, it means that we get a speaker instead of force feedback? Are you kidding? Screw that. Given the choice between a speaker and a rumble pak, I’d choose rumble. Games like Resident Evil 4 show that good force feedback really does add to the atmosphere. With game possibilities on the Revolution, it’s a crying shame if rumble is out. What fun is playing a light-gun game if the gun doesn’t rumble when you shoot it? I can understand why the NES Zapper didn’t have one, but this is just rediculous. Follow the link for further info.
