Nintendo procura "next-gen architect"

[Jorge-Vieira]

Será que vem aí nova consola?

Nintendo is searching for a senior software architect, and he or she could end up helping build the company's next game console (TYO:7974)

Nintendo is reportedly prepared to begin development of a 3DS and Wii U successor, hoping to recruit a new senior software architect position that is located in Redmond, Washington. This is a unique change since the posting is for a US-based job instead of a position in Japan - but Nintendo was careful to use rather generic terminology for a future-facing project.

The company has previously said there were no immediate plans for a new console platform, but the rumor mill has been in overdrive.

If you're interested in applying for the position, you'll need the following requirements: "The ideal candidate will have had experience working directly in a GPU architecture and design team with significant responsibilities. Low power and SoC design experience would be a plus." And a bachelor's degree is required, though a graduate degree in computer science/engineering or electrical engineering is preferred. Also, at least five years of lead or architectural role experience wouldn't hurt, according to the job posting.

É preciso ter em conta que é preciso planear uma consola com alguns anos de antecedência.
A Nintendo pode estar a preparar uma consola para daqui a 3 anos.

Apenas espero que a Sony e a MS não demorem muito tempo a fazer o mesmo, pois se tivermos de ter o mercado estagnado durante 8 anos como com a geração passada, estamos bem lixados.

ERa bom que a Nintendo apresentasse algo antes dos três anos, assim obrigava os outros a mexerem-se, caso contrario estamos tramados os tais 8 anos que eles disseram que estas consolas iam durar.
