Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary mastermind behind some of the greatest franchises of all time and the very successful Nintendo Wii has told Edge magazine that he “would probably not have been employed by Nintendo” If he applied for a job at Nintendo these days. He told Edge magazine “I often say to Mr Iwata: ‘If I was applying for a job here today, I, with my actual college degree, would probably not have been employed by Nintendo!’”
 
 

He said that Nintendo has became a target for top graduates from the best colleges “Nintendo has become one of those companies that graduates from colleges and good universities really want to work for,” he explained “Because of that, the competition’s really become so fierce for positions. And that means that a lot of the recent recruits for Nintendo have tended to have the higher degree from the prestigious colleges and universities and whatnot”
 

I’m not very surprised that most of the people wants to work in Nintendo, especially if you consider the never ending success of the Nintendo Wii and the NDS. Is Nintendo is the ideal place to work in these days? Or it’s just a compliment from the legendary creator?
