Nintendo wouldn't hire me today - Miyamoto

Shigeru Miyamoto believes that Nintendo would not employ him today if he applied for a position with his original qualifications.

Speaking to Edge magazine, Miyamoto said: "Nintendo has become one of those companies that graduates from colleges and good universities really want to work for."

"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."
