My DS Has been shipped!
FAO Anyone who ordered from Importmadness - If yours has been shipped today, can you tell me if your shipping method states Airmail or Fed-Ex?
I thought we were supposed to get the free upgrade to Fed-Ex, yet my status show Airmail :S
Anyhoo, Whooo!

It came!
And so did I!
First impressions of half an hour's play: Wow. Amazing. Pictochat fun to mess around with, just played a little of Metroid.. the control scheme isn't too great, specially when if you take the stylus off the screen then put it back on to "mouse-look" somewhere else you shoot (and I did this with a missile right next to a wall and died >_<).. But there are about 6 control schemes to choose from! So I'm sure this won't be an issue once I've found the one I want.
The opening FMV will blow you away :| Proves just exactly what the DS can acheive graphically.. which is alot. Nothing on N64 got that good.
Yet to play Mario 64 DS. Will do laters, along with try the thumbstrap.

Don't have Spider-man 2 but just because they're 2D doesn't mean they're crap.
They actually look pretty good from what I see, its probably the picture quality.

Don't have Spider-man 2 but just because they're 2D doesn't mean they're crap.
They actually look pretty good from what I see, its probably the picture quality.

We are working with FedEx/customs to slowly release all the packages that were held so that they do not have to pay duty on them.
FedEx in the UK have assured us that they will release most of the packages without duties.
We don’t want to put more items into the FedEx shipping stream so that they do not encounter the same delays as the ones did this week.
Your package is being routed a different service so you will not have any problems.
You will receive your order and it is secure, since mostly all retailers have stopped taking new orders on this system for the next few weeks. If you could let your friends know what I have told you here that would be great!."

At least we now know what the hell is going on, i'm in the same boat as most of you guys.

Still frames never look as good as the actual game anyway, and its only a portable device, not an uber machine. If you read down you would see that some people do have it, me not being one of them.

Has anyone got it yet?
I just had a look at the Spider-man 2 game and the graphics look crap, is it because the picture quality is bad or is does Spider-man 2 really have crap graphics?
It looks like the GBA graphics.

Did you use the thumbstrap???
Makes all the difference apparently, so much so that it makes the game great.
