If you love to 100% every game you play or just amazing games like this one you better do the following before diving into this great experience.

Friend Credits

Friend Credits are when you give your friends these little green credits to unlock stuff through your friends on the Wii system with friend codes. You CANNOT do this anymore because the Wii online is now shut down.

Why you want them?

In the Trilogy there are unlocks you can only get with credits you earn through the 3 games. They can be artwork up to even a suit! 15 of the credits you need are from friend codes! Oh no! Now you can't get all the cool stuff!!! Or can you???

Now you need to do the following to get JUST the friend credits and still be able to 100% the rest of the game on your own.

-Play Metroid Prime Trilogy first and get a save file from playing it
-Put your SD in the Wii/Wii U in Wii Mode and copy that save file
-Take the 1st download save file from http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/960329-metroid-prime-trilogy/saves and replace the other save file in the SD card with it
-Rename the new save you just put in to "Data.Bin" without the quotations
-Put your SD into the Wii/Wii U in Wii Mode and delete the save file on your system
-Copy the save file on the SD into your system
-This will be file 1 once you start up the game

There you have it! You can now 100% the game! I really hate online only stuff that is unnecessary in order to unlock single player stuff

Battle Network 2 on VC gave you the chips you could only get through trading for free. They should have done something like that.

They didn't actually fix this with the VC release? That's pretty bad.

It's not VC. It's not even emulated.
Trolls - They complain even when their bait works.

Just like the GBA Rings in the Oracle of Seasons/Ages you haft to "cheat" to do them.

So to be clear: This game save gives us the necessary friend credits for all the unlocks? Does it start each of the games at the beginning?

Yup! It is 0% on all files but all you get is the 15 green credits you need. You even get to choose your own mii.

What I never understand was why the best unlockables always required the Green credits. Now I'll finally be able to get that Mii bobblehead for Samus's ship!

Going to keep this bumped for awhile. Make sure people at least buying during the $10 sale see this.
