It's sad to see the community evaporate in such a short time from an event outside of their control. I've enjoyed these Nintendo threads for quite a long time, and wanted to thank everyone who curated them (especially Tolkir, Donny2112, and Pokemaniac), the people that made countless game recommendations (especially Maxcriden with his humble, uplifting, and thorough reviews; TheMoon with his snarky, but highly accurate points; Robin64 stands out to me as well, and I loved playing your levels on Mario Maker; and a whole bunch of others that I'm blanking on at the moment) - I've gotten to experience so many hidden gems thanks to you all.
I loved all the anticipation for new games on the horizon (Nintendo Directs were like a mini-Chritmas mixed with the last day of school - crazy awsome); the speculation on what may be coming, someday, eventually, maybe, but probably not for the Wii U; the amazing 10% off sales that Nintendo would graciously extend to us; and so much more.
This section of NeoGAF will hold a special place in my heart. I hope this community comes back together in some place in the future.
