Project Sora

Project Sora is a first party Nintendo developer that was initiated in 2009 by Nintendo and Sora, Ltd. The company is %72 owned by Nintendo and %28 owned by Sora Ltd. The company is devoted to making innovative titles for Nintendo's platforms, and plans for their first title to be released sometime in 2011. So far their company has or will have around 30 employees, more or less. The studios' president is noneother than Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros. who became a freelance video game designer around the beginning of the Nintendo DS's life (though now, obviously, has his own company). Being a first party company, all of the games that Project Sora creates will be released on a Nintendo system.
