Nintendo Gamenet

   Currently, Nintendo Gamenet is recruiting…

Review Writers- As a review writer, you will be tasked to write reviews for games on the GBA and/or the GC. You are not required to write reviews for both formats. Owning the machine/s in question is a must. A sample of your work will be required, please see the requirements below.

Preview Writers- As a preview writer, you will be tasked to write previews for games on the GBA and/or the GC. You are not required to write previews for both formats. Owning the machine in question is not a strict requirement (although it will be useful) but a stern knowledge of the game in question, from reading info, or getting to play it (if you are lucky enough to visit any trade shows) is. A sample of your work will be required, please see the requirements below.

Editorial Writer- As an editorial writer, you will be tasked with writing editorials on issues within the video games industry, in particular issues related to Nintendo. It is important that you have a strong knowledge of the coming and goings within the industry and have the ability to keep an open mind. A sample of your work will be required, please see the requirements below.

In addition to these requirements please consider the following…

It is possible to apply for more than one of the jobs listed above. However please consider that the workload will be greater.

Although Nintendo Gamenet is a fan site, we will not consider applicants who we consider to be what the industry likes to call ‘fan boys’ (that is people that bash the other consoles for no real reason). Here at NG we enjoy gaming in general and acknowledge the merits of the other machines available.

There will be NO wages for any staff, although you will still own all of the work that you write. People who work here do so freely, and as such can leave as they see fit. There will be no notice period required (although letting us know before you leave would be a lot nicer).

Nintendo Gamenet will consider any applicant regardless of country of origin and ethnic background. The only requirement is that you have a strong understanding of the English language, as this is the language we publish our work in.

If you have any questions or queries about the jobs, or the requirements listed above please e-mail this jobs@nintendogamenet.com.
