Would you be a beta tester for NOJ? It pays 9 bucks an hour! And they pay for your travel expenses! Er, I doubt that is for us out of country people. Oh well.

Would you be a beta tester for NOJ? It pays 9 bucks an hour! And they pay for your travel expenses! Er, I doubt that is for us out of country people. Oh well. Core Magazine believes it's for GBA testing. I think Nintendo is forcing people to play nauseating amounts of PS2 games until they are "jaggied" to death. Cough. Here's the meat.

According to Nintendo representatives, a massive beta testing program has been authorized in Japan. Over the next three weeks, Nintendo plans to recruit dozens of beta testers to work exclusively out of their Kyoto headquarters. From what we've been told, the testers will be assigned to several projects and work alongside development teams for the next six months. Participants must fill out a lengthy application, and will be hand picked later this month. Nintendo plans to pay participants approximately 1000 Yen ($9) an hour for their services, and will reimburse all daily travel expenses. The question is, what are the testers working on? If insiders are to be believed, most are working on early GameBoy Advance titles which will be shown in playable form at Spaceworld next month.
