The official Nintendo community will be without a home for an indefinite period of time.

Nintendo of America has posted a notice on its website that the official Nintendo NSider Forums will be closed indefinitely, effective today. Nintendo is citing a "major overhaul" of Nintendo.com as the reason for the forum shutdown.

In a statement on the former forums front page, Nintendo.com Supervisor of Web Content Andy Hartpence, a.k.a. "NOA_Andy," said:

"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."

The NSider forums will remain up until September 24 in a read-only format (available here), after which time they will be gone for good.

We'd like to take this opportunity to let any refugees of the Nintendo NSider forums to know that we here at Nintendo World Report have a community of Nintendo fans that's over 10,000 strong. Perhaps you'd like to join them?

Too bad a Google search for "Nintendo" or "Nintendo forum" puts NWR on the fifth page.

At least it was a better forum than Gamefaqs. I can't imagine the horror that would occur here if Gamefaqs shut down, even now it appears some have seeped in.

Don't you dare jinx us into catastrophe...don't you dare.

It's GP's fault.

We Nintendo anti-fans must unite to hold off the unstoppable invading force.

GIVE ME MY SHIELD AND MY SPEAR. OUR ABS WILL GLISTEN ACROSS THE HORIZON TONIGHT.

I for one, welcome our new NSider migrant overlords.

WTF?! I did not see that coming. I haven't showed up there for sometime, but somehow, something was going to happen. Born on HTS, died when Nsider became a flamboyant hardcore Nintendrones. Hell, they were happy that Manhunt 2 was banned. -.- I for one say "meh," but at the same time welcome all Nsiders.

I remember everyone freaking out when I was defending Xbox 360.

Burn the witch!

...seriously, though, these forums are one of the more opened I have seen to multi-console ownership when coming from a site dedicated to a single platform (or platforms with the DS, I suppose). I find that especially fascinating considering that, deep down in side, many of us do seem to enjoy seeing a competing brand flounder (PS3 comes to mind).

Although I should add that we still aren't perfect in this regards, as GP is attesting above.

But have you ever been criticized for it? Also, I meant ryancoke before, not sure why I said Ceric (although he owns a PS3 too...).
