Metroid Prime 3 - Friend Voucher Trading Thread

**GrandAmChandler** · 08-30-2007, 12:44 PM

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.

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 ...

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).

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

**Mayhem** · 09-02-2007, 08:10 AM

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

I'll go add the people listed in this thread

**-^Cro§Bow^-** · 09-02-2007, 10:44 AM

"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?

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** · 09-02-2007, 10:28 PM

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** · 09-03-2007, 09:38 AM

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** · 09-03-2007, 10:49 AM

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** · 09-03-2007, 07:09 PM

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** · 09-03-2007, 07:10 PM

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** · 09-03-2007, 07:26 PM

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

**CaptainWes** · 09-03-2007, 07:30 PM

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

**blitzmonkey** · 09-03-2007, 07:37 PM

I just added you Wes. Thanks for the add.

Ive got 4 for now if you want to trade.

**Apollo** · 09-03-2007, 07:41 PM

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.
