Looks like for reading technical documentation.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
I beat Ice Climber. They should give me a job.
If only it was Balloon Trip, then Iwata would have done something to help.

As an accounting major at my University.
My lifetime goal is to graduate and get my CPA and apply at Nintendo of America and work in their financial sections.

A friend of mine who was working at Best Buy managed to get a job with Nintendo doing their retail representative stuff. I was happy for him, but I think I was also a little secretly jealous too. Working in any part of customer-facing retail may suck, but the dude's pretty much going to get anything/everything Nintendo puts out for free so he can help sell people on it.
Actually, I think I secretly hate him.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

I'm actually applying for one of these positions. I really hope I get the job, it would be a dream come true.

Well there's being a good creative, but if you have shit communication skills then you're going to pretty useless working in a high-pressure place like Nintendo. This process is all about weeding out the people who can't work in that sort of communicative, outward facing work environment. I've seen plenty of talented artists not get jobs because they can't write an email response or react quickly to situations. Nintendo are in a position where they don't need to hire every talented artist that wants a job there.
A software engineer doesn't have to be creative.

Wow. I'm going to assume you're not a software engineer!

I think they get the creative people from their Game Seminars they hold once a year. There were some DS games you could download in Japan from the Nintendo Channel (on the Wii) that came from those.

That's how it's supposed to be. In an era where telling people why you passed them over gets you sued, recruiters can't afford to be generous.
So the company that can coast at a loss for years?
I'd love working in Nintendo's Treehouse personally.

Probably won't be able to do that for you guys.
That will be against the code of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
