Your favorite added Features.*spoilers*

What are the ones you like the most that they put in the game?

I'm simple, I always liked how you could see Samus's face if you shot a charge close to wall in MP1 and 2. When I saw Samus's face in the back when I went to my Scan Visor I was so happy.

And as the Corruption spreads more inside her body I loved how her face changed! From the added Purpley, Blue looking Viens that ran across her face. Her eye turning that weird light blue, green color. Ooooh I just thought that was so cool!

Anyway, what features did you all like?

I like that too.

But I also love the idea of having Bumper Stickers on Samus' Ship! :)

Along with the Screen-Shot Tool feature and the Mii Bobblehead.

I don't even know how to get those(the green credit things), I just want to know so I can get the screen shot tool.

It's something you can purchase the Screen-Shot Tool in the Bonus Gallery in Extras.

It allows you to take pictures of your gameplay by simply pressing D-pad Up. The Pictures are then sent to your Wii Message Board.

You can get those Green Credits by having someone send you Friend Vouchers over Wi-Fi.

Sadly that's the only way you can purchase some stuff on Extras.

Can you take screenshots of dioramas and scan images and stuff or just gameplay?

You are able to take Screenshots of Cutscenes and Gameplay *Including Scans*

You cannot take Screenshots of anything outside the [ Play Game ] button :P

And you also can't take pictures of Loading Screens *Example: Samus' Ship flying from one planet/area to another.*

And it doesn't seem like you can rapid-fire the screenshot button, because it takes a few seconds before you can take another screenshot. I've tried it before during certain cutscenes and it didn't work for me.

But I couldn't get the screenshots to work with the Dioramas or the in-depth logbook scans. Was trying to get an important creature's description so I could remember what it actually said.

This isn't really a feature, but I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that there were different ways to access each of the Leviathans. In Metroid Prime 2 you had to get 3 keys to access each of the Dark Temples, which is fine, but not unique like it is in this game.

I like the fact that Samus' ship is quite important in the game, and can be used for fun to bomb the hell out of your enemies.

Metroid Prime 3 introduced new ways for Samus to use the Grapple Beam, similar to how Metroid Prime 1 introduced new ways for her to use the Morph Ball ability.

I like how the Metroids in this game are better than those in the previous Prime games.

It's great how Samus' suit changed after battling each of the major bosses on a planet. Her face wasn't the only thing noticable when being further corrupted.

If anyone has their Wii Friend names or whatever I would love to exchange those friend vouchers for the Green Credits sometime. As soon as I get my Wi Fi back up that is..

2007-09-05 10:49:11 pm

Sure, when I can get Wi-Fi though. But it might be a while.

Wow. I already hated unlockable bullcrap, but that really just pisses me off.

I'd like to see an unlockable that replaces all in-game music with Metroid I/II/III soundtracks - in fact, I would even pay money for it.

I'd like that as well, I am currently abandoning that game right now so I can work on my other games. But yeah, how can nintendo expect everyone to be able to get on wifi just for a few unlockables. Jease, just give us green credits when beating the leviathens or something like that.

Don't most people with a wii have it on the internet? you kind of need to for firmware updates and to use the shop channel/news channel/weather channel. And if you have the internet, even if you dont have a PC you can use the internet channel to view places like this site, to swap wii numbers. I dont think from a statistical standpoint that nintendo thinks most people couldnt get these vouchers if they wanted to. (Note that i'm not saying that this was the greatest idea in the world- If there was going to be some kind of interaction with friends, they may as well have added a multiplayer mode. -.-)

yeah, there are ways to plug your wii directly into the internet via wire, and also you can buy an attachment to put in the back of the wii and then in your PC so you can transmit internet even if you don't have wi-fi or a router etc.

I like how the four lights at the top of Samus' helmet indicate how much battery life is left in your Wii remote.

So that's what that means? I had always wondered about those lights. Thanks for clearing that up!

I liked it in Elysia when you cross the rickety bridge. I just ignored the enemies and moved on, ripped the gate down and low and behold, not only did my enemies plunge to their doom, but a little message popped up and complemented me with a friend voucher for a 'stylish kill'.

Nice little surprise.

They were plenty smart and concentrated all of their efforts on making a great single player adventure game.

The weakest of all MP games was Hunters, probably as it wasn't technically legit and was more of a spin off, but the single player being more FPS for me wasn't a problem - it was the length or rather lack of it. I have wifi but after trying it out really didn't enjoy the multi player. It's easy for someone to create multi player environments as opposed to designing an interesting single player world, and this is the mistake Nintendo made with Hunters.

Whilst I think friend vouchers are frustrating for those without wifi, I'd rather have that than a multi player which would sacrifice the single player goodness. I think they should let your vouchers turn into credits after 90 days or release an upgrade that allows conversion via the main Wii menu on a future game or something.

For those without any kind of internet hookup, have you considered getting your save data put onto an SD card and take it round to a friend that as a Wii on wifi to use? They'd probably have to get their file of MP3 off the Wii so they'd need to put there's on an SD card just while you use their Wii.

Or if they have friend tokens (you need 15 to unlock everything) they could copy a file to an SD card, give it to you to put on your Wii and just start a new game with that file as the friend tokens should be carried over when the game is started over on the same file slot? It would mean anything you've done on MP3 would have to go though.

Yeah I didn't notice the battery lights thing until they turned red when I got the "OH GUNSHI LOW" message.
