Looks Like Fire Emblem & Paper Mario Dev Intelligent Systems Is Hiring

It's probably one of those three but it'd be nice if it were a new Advance Wars

2000 usd a month, hope that is part time. Unless 2000 goes alot further in Japan than here?

Glad to see someone in the industry is adding rather than subtracting.

@rvcolem1 Currency exchange rates. 10 years ago that would have been 3000 usd.

@Tober I'm not Japanese so I don't completely understand the economy. But 65 usd a day would be tough after all the necessities of life. The variables are too numerous to get a complete picture. Like here 2000 in California is much different than 2000 in Alabama. As cost of living/housing is completely different

That's actually pretty high for the industry wage wise. I thought IS always had a problem of maintaining staff because their pay was crap compared to the rest of Nintendo

Bulking up on staff for the grand revival of Pushmo.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the breadth of offerings from this developer. Paper Mario, Fire Emblem and Wario Ware couldn’t be any more different, yet they all come from Intelligent Systems. What an awesome partner to have.

TTYD on Switch is a remake Alana, not a remaster.

I really hope Intelligent Systems learns from the reception of Fire Emblem Engage and Paper Mario Origami King going forward.

@Joker1234 I had trepidation about Engage going in but after actually playing it I'm going to outright need to be convinced to buy the next Fire Emblem game. Kind of wild with how much I love Awakening and Three Houses (and think Fates is decent) but I kind of just utterly loathed that whole experience outside of Yunaka and Rosado. Just kind of shattered all of my faith in the series.

Plus side I'm guessing they'll probably take notice of the fact that Three Houses sold better, reviewed better, and actually has the fanbase still bothering to talk about it.

Please let it be a new entry of one of these:

@alanahagues like @SlasherZ said TTYD on Switch is a remake, not a remaster.

TTYD is awesome and the WarioWare games on Switch are also really good.

Hopefully we get a really good Paper Mario for Switch 2, with some of the team being these new recruits!

Intelligent Systems is my favorite gaming developer, but I'd rather keep the mystery of it and not potentially lessen my fondness of them.

If only I lived in Japan (and had any relevant skills or experience in game development)

Intelligent Systems is very closely tied to Nintendo, but they are not a subsidiary

Look the problem is they are using a company that's out dated for the hiring process me as an animator with a degree it's litterly impossible to apply for the position because they don't have a proper UI in the website

@mereel was going to say similarly.

@Lizuka I haven't played engage yet, it's next on my list. I have only played the GBA and three houses so far and I love them both. But if every game was like three houses than FE would get old pretty quick.

@prw_88 I certainly don't want every game to be exactly like Three Houses, but I do definitely want something with as likable a cast and interesting of a setting as it as opposed to how Engage somehow simultaneously has no plot and no characters and yet still refuses to shut up and let you play it.

Wish they had an office here in the States so I could work for Intelligent Systems on a new Paper Mario game as a story writer / character designer. Here are some enemy concept designs I came up with a few years ago for a tropical/volcano chapter:

Shout-out to @Snatcher, as I never fully understood how to embed images in a comment on here until I stumbled upon your forum post about it from August that was very straightforward and comprehensive. Sorry mods, but this means I'll get to be even more of a public menace now that I have harnessed the raw power of JPEG files. 😈

@Not_Soos You’ve spoken about something similar before, what makes you so confident that Intelligent Systems would hire you?

Also ‘image not found’ lol.

Of all 1st Party Developers Intelligent Systems is probably my favourite, next to Monolith Soft. I mean, Fire Emblem is just one of my biggest loved franchises Nintendo has to offer.

But what I'd really love is a new Pushmo/Pullblocks! They really need to give it some proper love on Switch, or its successor!

@PessitheMystic That's odd--I can see it just fine on my end. I don't recall speaking on it before. They probably wouldn't actually hire me, but a man can dream, right?

@Lizuka I see. You were talking more about character likability than the 3H structure of the game. That is a legit argument. I hate unnecessary dialogue with characters I don't care for. I hope I can manage to play engage.

This might sound weird to people but so far I enjoyed the combat of GBA far more than 3H. I always hear people telling me that engage is more combat oriented than story. I guess that is why I am a little optimistic about Engage. But I will have to see.

Intelligent Systems actually isn't a subsidiary of Nintendo. They're closely affiliated with Nintendo, but not owned by them.
