Metroid Prime 3 - Friend Voucher Trading Thread

[GrandAmChandler]

So apparently when you play Metroid Prime 3, you can trigger a certain event which you receive a token. You can spend for items, but some you can only give away via Wii Connect. So, post your Wii Number here if you would like to trade MP3 Friend Vouchers. If anyone with the knowledge would care to elaborate on this, feel free

Here is how it works. You get the Friend tokens for various actions you do in the game. The most common actions that will get you friend tokens are kills. You get one at 100, 200, etc...once you hit 1000 kils then I think it goes to every 500 kills after that.

There are other ways too, but that is the most common that I've noticed. Anyway, you have to go into your options and setup the WiiConnect24 option. Basically you tell the game and system that you want your Metroid data to be shared on WiiConnect24. This also allows you to see which of your friends in your current friend list has Metroid Prime 3 save data.

Once you have this info, then you can give friend tokens that you have earned in the game to your friends on the friend list. They in turn can give you friend tokens back. In order to purchase the items in the Bonus Gallery you will have to receive friend tokens given to you by friends. Because of this, I don't know if it would actually be possible to unlock all unlockables in the game.

But that is the gist of how it works.

[GM80]

In order to purchase the items in the Bonus Gallery you will have to receive friend tokens given to you by friends.

So some of the tokens you receive in-game are designated as "friend tokens" which can only be given to a friend, who can then use them to unlock items? And you can't use these to unlock your own items, but rather you must wait until you get another in exchange from a friend?

Yeeesh ... :roll:

Yeeesh ... :roll:

That is correct...

I originally had well over a dozen friend tokens and none of them could be applied to purchasing items in the bonus gallery. In fact when I would go there it would show my friend tokens as Zero. But then I would go to the Friends Token selection and it would show my dozen tokens there. So..the ones I had aquired could only be Given away...and could not be used towards purchases in the galleries. However, I did get a friend token from another MP3 player in my friends list and that token does show up for being usable in purchasing items from the bonus gallery.

Well - now that the online enabled games are starting to trickle out, I guess I should start adding folks to my list (I was holding out until some online games got released)

And since I just picked up MP3:C last night....

my number: (diskoboy) 4675 0997 3186 5236

And same as DJbeatmongrel - if you add me, let me know and I'll add you right back (even if it's not just for Metroid - I have no one on my friends list yet).

Seconded :)

My wii friend code number is:

I've added everyone above. Please add me back :D

edit: Is it possible to accidentally send a voucher to a wii friend who doesn't have MP3?

[Mayhem]

My Wii code is in my profile, but I'll put it here too:

8818 6946 6369 6300

I'll go add the people listed in this thread :)

[-^Cro§Bow^-]

"Is it possible to accidentally send a voucher to a wii friend who doesn't have MP3?"

Yes it is possible. In fact I have sent several out to those in my friends list who likely don't have MP3 yet, but I assume will at some point. When they do, they will have a friend token waiting for them from me.

Then again, I'm curious how often metroid updates this data, because I have several in my friend list that I know have been playing this game, yet they still show up as grey in my friends list on MP3?

Maybe they haven't gone into the Wiiconnect24 settings and set themselves to allow others to see when they have Metroid data?

[c0ldb33r]

I assume that's it. I've got the same problem, I've got people in my friend's list who I know are playing MP3 and they're grey :\

Who knows... I just hope they actually received the friend vouchers I sent.

[Surgepoint]

I will check back in every so often so as to update my friend's list. I sent a few to diskoboy and c0ldb33r. I have plenty left, so add me and all that good stuff.
(Beat MP3 once already BTW)

[noxium]

Ah, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I beat the game, but no friend credits. :|

Well, my wii number is 2506 7991 4914 5864

I have 17 credits(so far), if anyone needs.

[c0ldb33r]

Just a heads up to everyone - be sure to set Metroid Prime 3 to update your wiiconnect24 settings, otherwise people won't be able to see that you're a Metroid Prime 3 owner (you'll show up as grey, not black) :)

Hi everyone,
I am very grateful for this thread. I have added some of you already in the hopes of getting some Metroid Prime 3 Friend vouchers. I am also up for a game of Mario Strikers Charged if anyone else has that game as well.
My wii friend # is 7648 1493 4348 1630 (CaptainWes)

[djbeatmongrel]

just to warn folks with like 1 post and a fresh account, do not bother adding me. i dont want to be a jerk but i rather not send vouchers to someone thats just popped on. not to say all of you are here for freebies but to me it seems an odd that a lot of people deciding to make their first post when the prime 3 thread popped up.

[agbulls]

woohoo ! i knew some would make this thread. please add me to the top list. my wii code should be in the thread sig.

[blitzmonkey]

Understandable Mongrel, but what can you do when none of your real life friends have Metroid?

[CaptainWes]

I agree blitz. BTW, I added you , but I havent got a response yet.

[blitzmonkey]

I just added you Wes. Thanks for the add. :) Ive got 4 for now if you want to trade.

[Apollo]

I know I'm a bit late to the thread on this one, I've been busy for the past few days, and now I'm sick. If anyone wants to exchange, please PM me instead of just adding me, or I won't add you.

[blitzmonkey]

BTW I also send u a FV or 2 and my Mii avatar!! :)

[CaptainWes]

BTW I also send u a FV or 2 and my Mii avatar!! :)

Thanks blitz! I shall do the same.

[blitzmonkey]

Thanks blitz! I shall do the same.


Yup, no problem. Its nice to get some Wii friends. Itll help when Super Smash Bros comes out!

[Graham Mitchell]

Hey, guys! My code is 8954 3283 5509 8133. I'm going to add some of you as well. If you're nice I'll send you a present.

[error]

I've added ten friends from this thread, but so far only one has added me back. I know you guys might not trust me because I'm a new account, but I'd be fine with sending my vouchers to you up-front before you send me any.

I don't have any friends with Wiis, let alone any friends with MP3. I'm OCD about unlocking everything in the game and this process of gathering Wii codes seems painful but necessary; especially since the Wii doesn't seem to have any mechanism to MEET strangers that may BECOME friends.

It might be nice to have a long friend list with Super Smash Bros: Brawl comes out, but I hope they don't restrict online play to your friends list... Because the only people on my list, are the people on this thread [and only one of them has friended me back.]

Once again: 6320 5744 1545 8102

[Mayhem]

I've added everyone in this thread so far, so please add me to yours :)

Have sent Coldbeer a token, I think I've got one or two more spare so far (just finished Norian) to pass along... and remember to activate your WiiConnect setting in the game ;)

Out of interest, cos my memory is shite here, what do you earn each of the colours for (red, yellow, green, blue)? And what can you spend the black ones on...?

[Frica89]

Here's mine -

0484 4692 3761 2531

When I get around to it, I'll add everyone in this thread. I'm looking forward to my bobblehead :D

[noxium]

I've added most of the people in this thread, and sent some vouchers to Mayhem and c0ldb33r, since they're the only ones who have shown up on the list for now.

Hope to see more of you show up

Just to reiterate, my wii number is 2506 7991 4914 5864

[Mayhem]

I've had a bunch of player tokens from various people (here and elsewhere) so thanks... I'm probably earning enough red and blue tokens, but I need more yellow (only got two so far). How can I earn some more of those? Are those for the "stylish kills"? Need some strategy (currently doing Bryyo).

[segagamer4life]

Stupid Question, but when you trade an item, is it permanently gone to the other person, or is there "unlimited" trading, I ask because I haven't played this enough yet, and I don't want to be "out of luck" when it comes to tokens, if I wait too long, also what do the tokens unlock?

[Mayhem]

There are red, blue, gold and green tokens in the game. They are used to buy the unlockable content in the "Extras" section, ranging from concept art, music and weird things like a Mii bobblehead.

I actually didn't realise the game told you itself what you get each token for until this afternoon, if you look in the status screen (1). Red is usually for scanning enemies, blue is for scanning lore, gold is for completing certain objectives and green are the friends tokens. You have to be given these by other people. Likewise you can give out the ones you earn (generally so far I think I've only earnt mine from number of kills and finding one shortcut).

[segagamer4life]

thank you for that Mayhem, I appreciate it... now I know.. and knowing is half the battle... sorry couldn't resist typing that.. :-)

[c0ldb33r]

...and green are the friends tokens. You have to be given these by other people. Likewise you can give out the ones you earn (generally so far I think I've only earnt mine from number of kills and finding one shortcut).
Can you give out ones you receive from other players?

For instance, I've received a number of friend vouchers (like 6). When it asks how many I'd like to convert to friend tickets, I say 0, so I should still have all 6 I've received, but when I try to give more to friends, I can't give those I've received. wth?

[Mayhem]

Yeah I'm not sure about the point in asking if you want to convert them or not. I'll ask around...

[MrParonomasiac]

Newbie here as well, found this thread by Google Search.

Definitely would appreciate a token or two, and would reciprocate in-kind :)

Agree that this helps greatly when SSBB is released, *hopefully* online enabled ....

Thanks!

[Mayhem]

On a completely different note, if any of you have US Mario Strikers Charged codes, please PM me if you wouldn't mind a game. The stupid codes are region encoded, so I can't play any of my friends with it in the UK who own the PAL version instead!

But yeah I hope THAT silly rule is removed for Smash Bros Brawl as I want to start kicking arse all around the world...

Mayhem, I believe I added you. I have Mario Strikers charged. let me know when you are up for a game. My Wii # is in my previous post.

[SkiDragon]

This was one of the best games I have played in recent memory. The original Metroid Prime is ofter considered one of the best games ever. I don't know if I agree with that, but I think this was better than the original.

Anyway, I would like to trade some "vouchers". My Wii code is "2572 7867 9177 9866".

[Surgepoint]

djbeatmongrel, I completely understand where you are coming from with that. I never knew of this site before now, and intend to check it out. Just between school and stuff I don't often get to just surf the web (or play MP3 much either). I also wouldn't expect anyone to send me one unless I sent to them, sort of just trading, as I have few real life friends, and none into Wii. Also, I tend to lurk forums a while before ever joining/posting.

[Mayhem]

I've done some successful trading with the newbies, so nothing to worry at least... yet :p

[Graham Mitchell]

Error is reliable as well. I owe ya one, dude. I'll shoot one to ya' next time I turn the game on--may not be for a few days.

[SkiDragon]

I went through and added everybody on the list. Hopefully some people will add me. I have I think 17 credits. Again, my Wii code is "2572 7867 9177 9866". I should add it to my sig.

[SkiDragon]

A couple of people have added me but their names show up gray, which would indicate that they don't have Metroid Prime 3. That's odd.

[Mayhem]

I added you, but I think it takes a little time for it to propagate out and show up as black. After all, you still showed up as grey in my game too a couple of hours after adding...

[dino]

i need some friend vouchers so i can buy some cool extras!

add me and i'll add you. then send me vouchers and i'll return the favor!

anyone?

Wii code:

I have 16 vouchers. I can send you one first, but I don't know who needs them anymore.

[diskoboy]

Still trying to get caught up on adding everyone.... So be patient. Until yesterday, I haven't even powered up my Wii in a few days....

Has anyone bought the screenshot tool, yet? If so - lets start posting some screenshots :)

[djbeatmongrel]

for somereason you cant send them in messages to your e-mail, i tried. i have my finish screen on normal difficulty and i can't e-mail it to myself at all.

[SkiDragon]

I dont think there is a way to export the screenshots from the Wii, which is about the stupidest thing ever.

Can you pull them off an SD card or anything?

My Wii code: 8976-2015-4979-5201

Haven't unlocked anything in the game yet since I haven't had a lot of time to actually play it. I've just landed on a new planet and I got the grappling hook.

[-^Cro§Bow^-]

I've also tried to find someway to extract the screenshots from Prime 3. But they are stored on the Wii's internal memory and in a place that doesn't appear in the memory management area. Probably the same place where other messages and the daily logs are stored that you can't delete or access either. And yes, when you try and send a screengrab to a person listed as an email only, a message comes up telling you that you can only send the message to another Wii and not an email.

I really don't understand why Nintendo would do this...have you seen the pics that are taken?! Seriously, they look like crap when blow up full screen. Heavily compressed with artifacting everywhere. I think they are also saved in a much lower resolution than I'm playing the game at. Cause I know that the shots I took looked much better in game when I took them then what they actually ended up looking like...

[ZackyH]

I put in some wii codes yesterday. Haven't gotten anyone to add me as far as i know. First time i've added anyone since i just got the system a few days ago. Anyway, i have several of these vouchers now. Writing messages on this wii browser is a pain btw.
