A recent Nintendo job listing hints at things to come...

Nintendo have recently posted a new job vacancy on their American website for a Software/Hardware Tester. The interesting part of the advert is in reference to the testing of USB devives. What could said devices be? The full advert can be found below.

CONTRACT - Software/Hardware Tester Description of Duties * Creating and executing a test plan for Wii's USB devices * Executing test plans with great attention to detail and documenting bugs * Writing test procedure documents, gathering, and learning required software/hardware * Reproducing bug reports and helping find work-arounds or resolutions Summary of Requirements * Extremely thorough with keen attention to detail and accuracy * Able to execute scripted tasks lists with regular repetition * Ability to reliably report and track defects via spreadsheets or other bug tracking software with great detail.

Of course the obvious device that everyone wants to see is a solution to the Wii's continuing storage problems. However there are other devices that use USB connections from Microphones/Headsets (if Nintendo chose not to go down the Bluetooth route) to perhaps a first party remote charger, that could be in the pipe line. We all know what we want though a USB stick or a USB HDD and can only hope that Nintendo quickly fill this vacancy and get testing these devices!
