Rumor: Nintendo Preparing for Mario Kart Wii Beta Test
Nintendo's headquarters may soon play host to private beta.
February 5, 2008 | 8:38 PM PST

For those who seem convinced that Mario Kart Wii will release this spring: Nintendo is still beta testing the game. There, we said it. It's not all bad, as the company may be holding a 6 month test session for anyone who's interested in giving the title an early test drive.

While nothing is confirmed, it appears that working hours would range from Monday through Friday, 10am to 5pm at Nintendo's headquarters in Japan. Salary figures would start at ¥900 (around $8.40) with the possibility of a raise, (for doing what, we wonder?). The company would also take care of all travel expenses and health insurance.

The trial period is said to last two weeks, with the full program rumored to take up to 6 months. The company has been known to test the game over the Wi-Fi connection during recent weeks.
