I was just indicating that it would have been pointless to be in the states to get a game I can't play.

Smarmy Vent · 08-30-2007, 05:06 PM

Finished my first round a few hours ago. Awesome. The controls take some getting used to, though.

Well, it seems that if you send friend vouchers to somebody else they get converted into tokens on their game that lets them unlock extras in the bonus gallary.

So, I've got a decent number of them now. Does anyone want to swap friend vouchers?

X-3 · 09-01-2007, 09:03 PM

I love this game.

Spoiler Below

The Ship Missiles are kickass. And so is the Grappl-Beam for it. Thsi game offically kicks ass.

Smarmy Vent · 09-01-2007, 09:31 PM

I keep overdosing on Phazon.

Man, Samus, you gotta learn to take that stuff in moderation.

X-3 · 09-01-2007, 11:06 PM

^Same here. When I first read about the option, I didn't think I'd use it so much, but I find myself abusing it. And I enjoy it. *Watches as Pirate dissolves innto blueness*

Lord Kenny · 09-01-2007, 11:10 PM

I got the game, but my Wii Remote is out of batteries, and I can't get more until tomorrow.

I believe that this is an appropriate time to use this:

**Wyborn** · 09-02-2007, 12:04 AM

Concerning combat:

Spoiler Below

I never use Hyper Mode unless necessary for getting past puzzles. Also playing on Veteran. Gives a greater sense of the infective nature of the Phazon poisoning and makes you feel like a bigger bad-ass when you beat a boss.

X-3 · 09-02-2007, 12:09 AM

Heh, I'm just playing on Normal mode to get myself started.

After a Normal run, I'll go for a higher difficulty.

I use Hyper Mode when I'm too lazy to just blast/missile enemies, or when I'm surronded by enemies.

Spoiler Below

Oh, and the Plasma Beam is the awesomeness. Sorry Ghor, but not only did I hate you, I love the Plasma Beam. In every Metroid game it's been in. Oh, and a question: When am supposed to get teh Spider Ball? I just got the Hyper Missile...wait, does that mean no Super Missiles?

GRENTLEMEN · 09-02-2007, 03:23 AM

Spoiler Below

To be fair, if the Super Missiles aren't in the game, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it - they didn't even bother putting real Super Missiles in the last two Primes. Just a "ues lotza misulz" option.

Wait, friend vouchers? How do you get them?

Cravdraa · 09-02-2007, 10:12 AM

They're the grey tokens that you get for random acomplishments. The catch is that you can't use them. Once you send them to somebody else, they become friend tokens that they can use to unlock stuff.

X-3 · 09-02-2007, 06:59 PM

Just beat the "third planet.

Omega Ridley=teh awesomeness

BTW, what the heck do friend vouchers do?

Gonna need to use my old metroid sig for this one...

You can send vouchers back and forth to get Green tokens. Green tokens allow you to buy stuff in the Extras, such as a Mii bobblehead for your ship.

And you can press A to have Samus tap its head!

X-3 · 09-02-2007, 09:58 PM

^I want that bobblehead badly. And those bumper stickers. The concept art I could care less about.

I'm at about 80 out of 100 items now. Can I reach 100 and get the special ending before anyone else in VGF? Will every item stop being a Missile upgrade? Find out...soon, I guess. Yeah...

Smarmy Vent · 09-02-2007, 10:01 PM

Oh dear Lord, a bobblehead in my gunship?

Yep, no Super Missiles. Or power Bombs, for that matter.

I'm at 98%. Just need the last two Energy Cells, and I'll be 100%. I feel specialz.

**Wyborn** · 09-06-2007, 09:07 AM

How about some indication of what those spoilers are about, guys? Please? I dont' know if I can read them or not.

I think it should be fine to use planet names, it doesn't spoil anything...except for where I think I'm going. Which may be called the SPOILER PLANET.

I finally got off of Elysia. What a rush.

Also: the concept art is awesome, shut up.

X-3 · 09-06-2007, 10:01 AM

I'm just not into the custom art, sorry...
