Elisabeth Pring

Elisabeth Pring is an American video game quality assurance engineer. She worked at Nintendo of America as a contract tester for Metroid Prime Remastered, which was her first game. In a Twitter thread on February 8, 2023, the release date of Remastered, Pring detailed her involvement in its development. She also tested Mario Golf: Super Rush and Splatoon 3. Pring now works for Riot Games as a Quality Engineer for Teamfight Tactics.
The original Metroid Prime was one of her favorite games, and she considered her work testing the remaster as one of the best experiences of her life. As part of the debug process, they used multiple consoles including a Japanese Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo Switch OLED Model. Pring and unspecified colleagues in her team were not credited in the remaster, something that caused her to cry. Why she was left out of the credits is unknown.Riot Wonderdev (710wonderdev). "The first game I ever worked on was finally announced today: Metroid Prime Remastered Working on one of my favorite games as a baby dev was one of the best experiences of my life. We used consoles ranging from the Japanese GameCube to the new OLED Switch. I learned so much working on this game and even though most of our team wasn’t credited, I love this game. 🥹 During development, we used a frequent image in our Teams chat of @IJasonAlexander face so much that one of my coworkers made our entire team these mini pillows that sat on our desk throughout development. The image was taken over 20 years ago of him playing the game! Working with Samus has truly taught me grit in this industry. I will never forgot the day we were told we wouldn’t be credited, my first game. I went to the bathroom and sobbed so hard but I still worked really hard because I loved this game growing up. I have always poured so much love and passion into the games I work on and I promise we all did. We watched every single part of this game get remastered, each map one by one. It was incredible to work on.
 
Anyway, tell Ridley I said hello after his flight over Phendrana Drifts." 8 February 2023 7:44 p.m. Tweet. https://twitter.com/710wonderdev/status/1623483043947360257
During development, Pring and her colleagues frequently used an infamous photograph of Jason Alexander playing the original Prime in their Microsoft Teams chat. A coworker made mini-pillows with his face from the picture on them for the team; these pillows were kept by the testers on their desks.
