Soeben wurde das offizielle Forum von Nintendo of America abgeschaltet und jeden Besucher erwartet ab sofort ein Text, der über das Fehlen der Community hinwegtrösten soll. Als Grund wird angegeben, dass dies für die Überarbeitung von nintendo.com nötig sei.
Es ist derzeit nicht bekannt, ob und wann das Forum wieder online geschaltet wird, jedoch bleibt eine readonly Version des Forums definitiv noch eine Woche verfügbar.
Nintendo is working on a major overhaul to Nintendo.com to support the continued success of Nintendo DS and Wii. As we prepare for this huge site update, Nintendo must unfortunately close the Nintendo NSider Forums message boards indefinitely beginning Sept. 17, 2007.
For more than four years, these NSider Forums have fostered engaging, robust debates, a strong community and friendships. While their future remains uncertain, in the interim we invite our fans to build on the spirit of community by starting their own Nintendo discussion sites. Remember also that the unique features available with Nintendo DS and Wii give Nintendo the opportunity to communicate directly with fans, while also enabling fans and friends around the world to communicate with each other.
Nintendo has the greatest fans in the world, and it is because of their support and passion that Nintendo DS and Wii have become so hugely successful around the world. We hope that the faithful Nintendo community members will look forward to the future games and website updates that will enhance Nintendo's global community of Wii and Nintendo DS owners.
Starting Sept. 17, existing NSider Forums will be available in Read Only format for one week. Private Messages will be disabled. On Monday, Sept. 24, the forums will be removed from public view.

Thanks for your understanding and continued support. We'll see you soon elsewhere on the Web.
