Wii Metroid Prime 3 To Use Achievements?
Xbox 360 has achievements, PS3 gamers will have online trophies, but there has been no word of Wii having any sort similar reward system. Until now.
According to a poster of the GameFAQ forums, Metroid Prime 3 is going to break new ground on Nintendo Wii in this department.
Interesting part of the game that I had no idea even existed. If you accomplish small tasks in the game, you are awarded with bonus tokens. These tokens come in four colors: Red, Blue, Green, and Gold. Red tokens are given as you scan a certain number of enemies/items. Blue tokens are given for scanning lore and accomplishing side tasks. Green I believe are when friends give you vouchers, more on that later. Gold tokens are given for beating bosses on various difficulties. You use the tokens to unlock hidden content in the extras menu. The final type of token is the “friend voucher”. Basically these are given for accomplishing some type of cool accomplishment in the game.
The poster goes on to say that “apparently send these ‘achievements’ to your friends, and they give them green tokens.” Also, there’s allegedly a “Friend Roster” option and a “Configure Wii Connect 24″ option on the menu to back up the argument.
Naturally, it’s completely unsubstantiated at this point. But, if true, this could be a turning point for online play on the console.
