Has Nintendo Changed For The Worst?

First off, has anybody been to Nintendo.com lately?
Well, I'll tell ya, IT'S HORRIBLE!!! The place is now white all over the place (it hurts my eyes, kinda), and it looks like little kids like going to this place! All the open-ness of the video gaming community! Not to mention the fact that I wanted to join the Nintendo forums. They weren't there! I searched everywhere on the site. Found "nutten." Also, the search engine doesn't have the results displayed nearly as cool as it used to. Speaking of the search engine, I tried to search GameCube games, but you know what? THERE WAS ONLY 2 GAMES FOR IT IN THE SEARCH!! NOT TO MENTION THEY WERE GAMES I DIDN'T LIKE!! The rest of the 250 results was mostly technical support for the GameCube. This means, that I can NOT search through the greatest games of all time. Does anyone know a site (that's not eBay) that might have a way to search through the games?
Also! What stinks, is that all the games, Wii and DS, have gotten WAY too easy. I mean, the first two dungeons in the Legend of Zelda The Phantom Hourglass, were in no way and by no means dungeons! The only reason I call it a dungeon, is because the text that appeared on the screen, told me that this was a dungeon. I would be disregarding even the text, if it hadn't been that there was actually small keys in there! Anyway, all the games are getting too easy. Sure the control scheme of the new games might help a little bit, but that's not the point. The only game franchise that has kept the reason for keeping the puzzles and challenges as hard as ever is the Metroid games. The DS version and the Wii version! These two games, are the only games that I know of that have kept to the hardness level of previous games. Well, okay, the games that keep the joy-pad capabilities (Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, etc.) have probably kept their ability to be within the range of difficulty I wish for. But still, can't they make more than just a couple games for those of us who are still gamers to the core? I mean, come on, Cooking Mama?
Place Comments on what you think please! And leave a screen name or else I will probably disregard your comment!
