A new job posting from Nintendo of America indicates that the company is now looking for a digital archivist. The person hired for the role will "design and implement a structured framework for organizing technical records, engineering documentation, source materials, and institutional knowledge related to legacy systems and platforms." Nintendo says the archivist will help ensure the company's historical records are "preserved for future generations." The position will be on a 12-month contract.

One thing we know through the Gigaleaks a while back is that Nintendo has been holding onto extensive archives of practically everything, and those leaks were just a fraction of their treasure trove. I've heard stories of other publishers that throw everything out and wipe disks to reclaim space once a game is shipped, only to eventually regret it when classic games can't be ported because they lost the source code.

I do hope that someday Satellaview stuff sees the light of day. We know they definitely have it.
