Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 82 Comments
A few years ago, Grezzo put out a hiring notice, and asked potential new employees: “Would you like to make a ‘legend’ with us?” Something similar recently cropped up on the company’s website (except now with a “2” tucked on the end to signify that this is different from last time).
