Nintendo Job Posting Indicates Work on New Console Has Begun

Nintendo has mentioned in the past that work on new consoles begins almost immediately after the previous ones hit the market. Sure enough, at a financial briefing earlier this year, president Satoru Iwata confirmed that the follow-up to Wii U was already in the preparation stages. So if any you thought that Nintendo was simply going to give up on home consoles just because its latest machine isn't doing so hot, you thought wrong!

Back on October 9, Nintendo posted a job listing for a senior software engineer at the Nintendo Technology Development department. NTD is an R&D group that helps design console hardware, so if its ranks are being increased, it's likely because work on the next machine is in full swing. Reading the full listing confirms this: The new hire will lead the system-on-a-chip architecture group and track GPU developments that could be used in future hardware, among other roles.

If you've got the necessary experience and want to ensure that Nintendo's next console can actually compete with the others in terms of power, don't be afraid to submit a resume.
