Nintendo-Europe posted an announcement and explanation of why they’re getting rid of their forums that fans have been so dedicated to in the last little while.
First of all, they want to make sure that the information coming out of their site is absolutely top-notch. Keeping the forums around is a bit of a time drain, so by getting rid of them they can focus more time and energy on pumping out quality news.
Secondly, there are so many good forums out there that Nintendo probably feel like they’re doing a disservice to sites like ours by keeping people attached to their site. In any case, there are a lot of forum members without a home and no place to vent their gaming enthusiasm. So spread the word folks: The Tanooki forums are where it’s at!
