I just got back from an orientation at AeroTek (the temp company that hired me for the position). I got a job at Nentendo as a game tester, probebly for Wii games. Now its not temp to hire, but I will probebly be working for around 6 months. Whats great about this is I will be getting my foot in the door, and be getting some good experience that I can take to another job like at MS. 02 Z28 here I here i come, lol.

Congratulations. My stepbrother worked the same job for a couple of years and had a blast. I hope it leads to even greater things!

One of the guys I used to work with was a tester at Nintendo many moons ago back when they were working on the Super NES.

Dude!! I totally forgot you work for nintendo. Do you have any insight or any involvement with the nintendo WE? I'd love to get a tour of your work sometime if its not too much to ask. That would be a good time.

You want to go look at a bunch of Wii Wiis?

Sick.

Marc did a big burnout out outside of Nintendo's Campus the other day on his way through to MS.

You can swing on by for a visit sometime... it's cool. Just let me know, and I'll see if I can be away from my job for a while to show you around. We're pretty busy right now since the Wii launch is coming up.

I personally don't have any real involvement with the development... I'm a consumer accounts administrator, I basically research and solve "above and beyond" types of problems with consumers... I'm also an administrator on the message board forums for Nintendo. Neither job lends to much development "ins".
