This is basically like Nintendo getting their own version of Clover Studios, more or less. I look forward to seeing what E3 and beyond have to offer...
From what I understand, Nintendo and Sora, two separate companies, together made a new company called Project Sora to be a Nintendo-owned company.
I suppose Nintendo doesn't just own Sora since it only consists of Sakurai and one other unnamed person.
I guess Sakurai just wanted to keep the name himself as a sort of... well... something he can completely call his own?
I guess it was never a company, it was only literally, tied to Sakurai himself; Sakurai = Sora. Like that.
But Project Sora is going to be a complete game development company.
That's how I see this.
And it showed that Nintendo spent $200M Yen to own 72% of Project Sora, I guess that wanted to keep track of how much they spent (as the number seems to be a straight 200M Yen) versus taking in a certain fraction/percentage of the company, like 75% or 80% like the amount of Monolith they own.
Strange, especially as didn't Nintendo and Sakurai create the company? You're only paying for the name, and the work environment, they make it sound like Nintendo just bought out a previously unheard of company.
I hope a token black guy is interested in a signature/avatar/whatever?
Someone didn't read the press release.
What's the difference between this and DS Lite?
For once we get acolor the Japanese don't and there are still complaints?
Jelly, I'm just going to imagine that basically, your E3 Nintendo conf. is set to the highest level of anticipation right now!
Also on April 5, a new Nintendo DS game, Rhythm Heaven, will join this roster of games available for both Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DS owners in the United States. Having sold more than 1.6 million copies since its July 2008 launch in Japan and still increasing sales today, this infectious game challenges players to tap and slide the stylus on the touch screen in time to original music created by legendary Japanese pop-star producer TSUNKU♂. Simple gestures with the stylus combined with fun music and quirky visuals make Rhythm Heaven a completely unique musical experience for players of all ages.
I see nothing but good things coming from this.
i had no idea Sora was freelance...

About this project the new company is working on, Satoru Iwata assured that it's not another Smash Bros. game, saying, "It's not Smash Bros. I asked for." Sakurai added, "I can promise an experience that's different from anything [you've played] up until now."
Or Megs & Co. are just throwing up gang symbols.
This still should have been turned into FMA thread the moment the news about no second Haruhi season came out. Now we have to deal with some super huge topic title filled with 11 names about less than 5 minute shorts >.>
What is Modern Anime in General?
A miserable little pile of meh!
"Well sure, why not? Don't want to raise a society full of pussies!"
One special point of interest is that Madworld's story was developed with help from Yasumi Matsuno (the game designer behind Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy XII) who, it turns out, was tapped by his friend Atsushi Inaba of Platinum to work on the game's scenarios. Given all the experience at Platinum, as well as the experience that Matsuno brings to the table, we're anxious to see how this craziness is going to play out.
This is like finding out that Jesus called up his friend Buddha for a quick hard rock jam session of pure awesome.
Meh, the vast majority of anime humor does not meet my taste. There are exceptions, but I think cartoons do it better.
Of course, this entire matter is completely subjective.
