Nintendo reveals new development studio headed by Smash Bros. creator

Nintendo have announced a new game development studio, “Sora,” headed by Masahiro Sakurai, the man behind the Smash Bros and Kirby series. A statement on the company’s website states “‬the thoughts of game designer Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo have become one,‭ ‬and a new project has started.‭ ‬In order to expand what can be offered to the world through games,‭ ‬we will have Nintendo’s full cooperation and make something that Nintendo could not do on its own.‭”

The project that the team will be working on has been described by Sakurai as “special” and “something different.” With Sakurai behind the wheel of the new studio, I don’t doubt that the game they produce will be outstanding; Smash Bros. and Kirby have been consistently great series. Although the platform the studio will be developing for is yet to be announced, I have a suspicion that it might be the Wii or the DS.
