After months of rumors and speculation, Sony Computer Entertainment today announced that rumble is returning to the PlayStation 3 in the form a new controller unsurprisingly dubbed the DualShock 3.

The DualShock is wireless and is planned to be releasing in Japan this coming November, with a North American and European roll out following in Spring 2008.

Along with the announcement, Sony also released a list of games that the DualShock 3 will support. More after the jump.

TOKYO, Sept. 19 — Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI)
today announced that it would release DUALSHOCK(R)3 Wireless Controller, a
new controller for PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(R)) incorporating a rumble feature,
in Japan in November as a separately sold accessory. It inherits the basic
design and functionality of the popular PlayStation(R) controller, while
keeping the high-precision, high response motion sensitive six-axis sensing
system. Introduction to North American and European markets is expected in
spring 2008.
The added rumble feature, combined with the highly realistic motion
sensitive six-axis sensing system, takes gamers deeper into the world of
interactivity, delivering a more intuitive, realistic and immersive game
play experience. The new controller will also benefit PS3 content creators,
by giving them the ability to further expand their creative imagination.
PS3 titles that are already in the market may become compatible with the
rumble feature through software update.
With DUALSHOCK 3 and the attractive lineup of PS3 titles incorporating
the rumble feature, SCEI will introduce more new ways of enjoyment that can
only be found on PS3, and will further redefine the world of entertainment.
