Does anyone know if there is a list of the vouchers or whatever they're called? I see all the unlockables (like the screenshot tool), but I can't find a list that actually says how to get those vouchers, e.g. you get a silver one when you collect an Artifact and a red one when you beat a boss in MP1.

I have these.
Really wish Gamestop wasn't a bunch of fuck ups and sent me the poster like my order fucking originally said.
I have all the US released games, but never saw a point to buying their Japanese releases.

I completely agree. Metroid Prime is absolutely beautiful and is every bit as atmospheric as it was when it launched.Synless said:
Got it today... replaying Metroid Prime for the first time in a few years...
My, there IS a lot of unnecessary scanning in the intro, isn't there? Heh...
Two questions: why are there 6 different colors of tokens (colorblind guy can't tell them all apart), and would anyone be up for being my Wii Friend? After my system repair in April, I lost my entire GAF list.

Holy Fuck people, read the thread. It's on the last page even.hatchx said:
Veteran Difficulty is the old default difficulty. It's unlocked from the get go. Normal is the new easy difficulty.
"Hard" mode, whatever they call ti this time around (I think Expert it was in Metroid Prime 3) is unlocked by beating the respective game - exactly as it was the first time around.

You have to beat it on Normal or Veteran first. I only have the final boss left on MP1 and spent 7 hours and 30 mins on the game, so won't take that long to unlock Hard.hatchx said:

Shin, shoot me a PM. I might be able to hook you up, since you have the same media tower as me and all.

Got to pick up my copy after school.
Didn't want to do it today, didn't feel like pulling out ATM money. >_>

I just started a little bit of Metroid Prime 3 ... I had forgotten that you get a token for EVERY CREATURE SCAN. Tokens in Metroid Prime appear to only be given out when a boss is beaten, although the game offers two different colors of tokens.
I wonder if the manual covers this...

Got to play through the initial space station/parasite battle on Prime 1 tonight, will have to play more tomorrow, it's way too late now. Really dig the motion controls, they are integrated seemlessly and feel very smooth. Also love that you can make the morph ball jump using the wiimote now just like in Prime 3. Looks good in widescreen (did they just scale back the HUD or is the camera itself pulled back more?) and the bloom lighting effects are nice. Still miss the title screens and their respective opening musical themes, the selection menu feels soooo generic.
I personally hate tatoos, so....no. Ha. But yes, I do have the NES cartridge (the early 90s re-release with updated box art, or HAD it. It's back at home, I lost it somewhere in my mom and dad's basement a couple years ago) which I finally got around to beating in Nov 02 the week before Prime 1 was released which was a great way to celebrate the launch of the game. Endlessly writing down the long passwords was old school tedious though and I almost lost my progress late into the game due to getting one of the more obscure characters mistaken for another (this ever happen to anyone else?).
Then in '05, I used the maps in the Oct '91 Nintendo Power to finally beat it under 3 hours (this time I played through the NES rev on my Zero Mission cart, thank goodness for auto-saving passwords to flash mem).
edit: I have one of the small hanging 3D store displays for Prime 1 which an EB employee gave me back in the day. I'll post a pic next time after I go back home in a few weeks.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to put Fusion into my picture. Never got around to owning Metroid II GB since as a kid I simply borrowed it repeatedly from a friend at school until I finished it.
Wow, very nice collection. I'd love to look at the manual art for some of the Japanese versions.

Complete Jp + PAL(AU) collection.

i have more experience with the tokens since i got the all in both mp1 and mp2.
orange tokens = given for beating bosses in mp1.
gray tokens mp1 = given by collecting artifacts and some by reaching some areas.
Purple Tokens = same as mp1 tokens but for mp2.
gray tokens in mp2 = given by collecting each temple key (all 18 keys give one)
red tokens = enemy scans in mp3
blue tokens = lore scans (and 3 extra ones that aren't lore) in mp3
yellow tokens = boss kills in Normal/Veteran and Hypermode in mp3 (you get a second set on hypermode)
Green tokens = friend tokens in mp3.
so basically, the old games' tokens are just cool coins for progressing in the game.
btw, despite playing hundreds of hours of several metroid games and trying speed runs a few times in some of them, i feel like a casual compared to those guys who own all those versions of each game.
or i'm hardcore cheap gamer since i get few games but get the most out of them.

Ah what the hell why not:
Missing are all the related Nintendo Power issues dealing with Super Metroid onwards. They're all in my closet somewhere, and I didn't want to dig them out, and the Metroid Prime poster on my bedroom wall. I've also got the MPT Gamestop pre-order poster and T-shirt, but I left them out in my car. I don't own the original NES Metroid because I was too young, however, I did rent it and play it several times as a kid not really knowing what it was (I only recognized what I had played once I got Super Metroid and the revisitation of the early Brinstar areas). I have played through about half of the original on my original Metroid Prime disc.
Fun Fact: My copy of Metroid II is so old that its battery died nearly 10 years ago. I pried the cart open and replaced the battery with one that didn't quite fit (because I couldn't find any of the correct size), so it's held inside with electricians tape.

"Gimpy waggle," yikes.
Corruption's controls were magnificent. The IR was spot on, gestures were sharp and worked consistently well, and so on.
I can understand preferring classic controls to the Wii interface, but to imply that it's at all sloppy/haphazard/gimmicky is silly.
amtentori said:
this is enough to ignore that kind of review.
the games are more fluid overall with mp3 controls, especially morph ball sections.
the only reasons to keep the old versions so far are either having a version with all the sequence breaks or if you absolutely hate the wii controller setup. if none of those apply, the trilogy is the superior choice.

The reviewer is a moron, and one with an obvious agenda no less. It would seem he doesn't even realize you can still set the controls to regular lock on instead of free aim (not to mention the more general blatant fanboyism behind his 'lol waggle' attitude).Toy Soldier said:
That said, while the IR worked great the motion gestures in Corruption were far from sharp and consistent imo. Most of the common interfaces (pushing/pulling/grappling/spring ball) had iffy recognition. Nun chuck utilization in particular was questionable. Only twisting and tilting side to side with the Wiimote really proved consistent. Thankfully they weren't used frequently enough that it became a huge issue, but I think it's a little weird to say they worked really well. Playing Corruption side by side with SMG shows just how much room for improvement there really was.
edit: Who was the reviewer btw? Not that it matter I guess. Most of the GI crew could be considered usual suspects when it comes to bogus Wii complaints.

I assume it's for the emulation software you can get on it. So he can play them via that.legend166 said:

Why do people have 2 copies of Metroid Prime Pinball?
It's a strange game to be collector of. I saw it last night for £10, I know it's got good reviews generally, and I am a Metroid fan. But I have a backlog of 70 odd games, and adding this sort of game to the list is just counter productive. If you guys say it's worth it, I'll go out and buy it tonight. BTW games don't get much cheaper than £10 (new) in England.
