Metroid Prime 3: Corruption goes online… sort of

Will it make you happy if we tell you that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will have some sort of online feature? It should be remembered that Perrin Kaplan mentioned a few days ago that they will be revealing more secrets and surprises as we get closer and closer to the August 27 release date.

Well, this isn’t exactly an official announcement but one player who had played the demo at a local Gamestop noticed that bonus tokens are awarded whenever you accomplished certain in-game tasks.

These tokens or achievements, furthermore, can be sent out to friends which they will trade for green tokens in return. The player who discovered the feature explained:

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… I was interested in this since there was a “Friend Roster” option and a “Configure Wii Connect 24” option on the menu.

Some other players commented that the said token feature was actually seen in the one hour-long video clip that we posted earlier this week.
