Wii Connect 24 to be shut down

An emergency has rather cropped up. As you may recall, I had finished Metroid Prime 2 recently and was having a break before starting 3. I’m interchanging Metroid and Zelda, with Twilight Princess for console while I play Hunters on the DS. I then planned to go onto Spirit Tracks on DS, and play something else on console, possibly Prime 3. The news that Nintendo is squashing most of the Wii’s online functionality has forced a different plan on me. I need to find the Friend Vouchers in Prime 3 so I can trade them for Green Tokens, before Wii Connect 24 is disabled, or else I will never ever be able to unlock all the content in the game (image galleries and the like). To make this more difficult, I need to find someone in the same region as me to trade the vouchers with who either hasn’t already traded them or is spoofing them for the benefit of others. I’m planning on going to Gamefaqs for that one; if you happen to be an Australian reading this with 15 unused Prime 3 Friend Vouchers, contact me! I’ll have them hopefully soon. I’m not sure what other regions are compatible; most Australian Wii stuff seems to be fine with all of Europe, or at least the UK. So that could work too.

So, tomorrow I hasten my plans, put both Twilight Princess and Hunters on hold for now and focus on Prime 3. Fortuitous timing, as I have just started a two-week holiday. As I work in a school (not a teacher), I get all school holidays off. It’s sweet. But it looks like I’ll be gaming hard for a little while; I don’t know exactly how long I’ll have to play to get these vouchers. I should also have time to start the next comic scanlation I’m planning on, though. It’s a Yoshi’s Island comic and looks kinda fun, but I’m waiting on word from my translation buddy.

Hm. I haven’t done many ordinary “update”-type blog posts. How about some feedback? Should I do them more often?

…And I was looking forward to some fishing in TP. I just unlocked the frog lure after an absolutely gruelling session of Rollgoal. Agh. Oh well.
