When Nintendo closed their official NSider forums (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14415) indefinitely in September, they cited a “major overhaul" as a reason behind the closure. This overhaul has just gone live as Nintendo.com recently adopted a new layout and design for their American site that owes much to their previous blue-ocean oriented efforts.
The most striking change is the adoption of the popular white and blue streamlined style that Nintendo’s own Wii.com site pioneered, and that Nintendo World Report also shares. This finally ties Nintendo’s home page into the family of other key destinations they maintain on the Internet - the aforementioned Wii.com, their Touch Generations site and even their revamped Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection site - all of which receive prominent links at the bottom of the new Nintendo.com.
In addition to aesthetic changes, the revamped site features a new game guide service in its Games section. The guide lets consumers search and browse a master list of Wii and DS games based on criteria such as genre, online connectivity, and ESRB rating. Predictably, the list of games is predominantly Nintendo-published, but there’s also a decent selection of third-party titles released in the past two months, like Activision’s Bee Movie Game or Capcom’s Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
Previous features like My Nintendo user accounts and special offers are still integrated into the new site, but Nintendo Power subscriptions are no longer tracked through Nintendo.com as the magazine recently changed hands and is now published by Future US.

Broken links will be the DEATH of me. ARGH! And this is even more infuriating because the news story has the correct link, but newsbot was magically able to change it on his own.......ARGH! Fixed.
