Nintendo To Host A 'Designer Career Recruitment Session' For Potential Dev Staff

I do have to find an internship by next year but Nintendo are not a company I’d work for.

Perhaps this additional help will allow them to release games at a reasonable rate.

@nessisonett Any reason why not? Is it the videogame factor, their office culture, or...? Don't mean to be like "It's NINTENDO", I'm really curious!

My cousin works for Nintendo on an internship, has confirmed Super Mario All-Stars 3D coming this week... new Nintendo Life rumor article in 3, 2, 1 Let's a go!

@theJGG Any company of that size will mean it’s harder to truly get a ground-level approach to learning. My idea of hell is ending up in an office making a minimal difference in a studio with hierarchies, internal politics and corporate nonsense. For context, my old high school teacher’s friend is the guy that does FIFA’s shadows. He works non-stop doing shadows for 9 months then takes a 3 month holiday. The cycle then repeats. I’d rather work in a smaller company to be honest.

my uncle is Nintendo and he recently confirmed Metroid prime 4, 5 and 6 along with the original trilogy is releasing early 2021 along with the Switch Pro, in order to compete with Sony and Microsoft

With the location for these positions I doubt they'd hire someone outside of Japan and I'm sure knowing how to speak Japanese is also a requirement.

The caveat with getting a job at nintendo is, you can't tell friends what you learn or or work on there. Granted maybe you can say vague things.

Do they need them when they don't make any games?

@Henmii Ah, thanks for reminding me! I forgot Nintendo doesn't make games anymore!

@Henmii Animal Crossing really has done miracles propping Nintendo up this year.

@nessisonett Thank you for sharing, that's really insightful. But wouldn't it be personally rewarding if, say, you worked on the next Zelda game, even if it was a slightly mundane job like shadows? But don't get me wrong, I completely get why it would be boring...

Looks like the speculation of Nintendo engaging in mass layoffs on Sep 16 isn't happening.

@nessisonett
Hey princess, I hope you find your prince, but bear in mind it's a tough world out there.

@RogerFederer Cheers Federer, shame you aren’t at the US Open this year 😉

@RogerFederer hey whiny man baby on the Internet, I hope you find a 6 pack of beer at the store, but bear in mind it's hard to get off the couch!

@nessisonett He's gonna need more than 25 seconds for that burn!

@theJGG I guess it would be a big deal but I know fine well that projects of that size have loads of different teams so that in a sense, you never feel like you’re working on a ‘big game’ as such. Obviously it’s the dream to have your name in the credits of these games but I’d rather learn from smaller devs and get a more focused viewpoint. I just know I want to avoid JP Morgan and companies like that after the class I did sponsored by them last year 😂

And how's your couch like, kitten ?

It must be pretty comfy.
Anyway, I'm glad she found her prince.
Cheers times six.

@RogerFederer oh, the couch is wonderfully comfy, thanks for asking. A global pandemic that has been mismanaged woefully has given me PLENTY of free time. Who knows, in this free time, you could even work on NOT just calling out randos on the Internet for having a preference on what job they take!

Well, the first step is clearly being able to understand the somewhat dodgy Japanese to English translation of the text on the linked site.

Surely this is only really meant for candidates who can actually speak/read/write Japanese and who either live in Kyoto/Tokyo already or are planning on moving there.

@impurekind Last I checked, Nintendo will only accept you at their Kyoto studio if you speak Japanese. Even at their German studio, it would go a long way if you spoke it.

@RPGamer Kid Icarus is a dead franchise, and the only reason I like that is because of smug Viridi
