Identity of The Studio?

[india3]

Anybody have any ideas about who The Studio is? Just wondering, since Sakurai has kinda kept it a mystery...

 

[Dubyah8r]

where did he mention a studio?

 

[Hippochinfat]

It's pretty obvious it's being made by the super special ultra mega awesome chocolatey fudge coated super platinum deluxe studio.

I think the Studio is HAL. If you watch the Gameplay Demo with Nate Billdorf(sp?), at the start screen you'll see HAL's name there.

It's a new company, if it's HAL he would've said. THAT and Hal holds the rights to Kirby anyways.

I say The Studio has no name but The Studio. I think Sakurai took a bunch of different people who knew how to develop a game who were also distinct fans of Smash Bros.

I thought that was just what Sora Ltd was called initially, but I suppose I'm horribly misinformed. Hopefully it'll be Square Enix or Capcom or something, that way they're guaranteed a representative..

he mentioned it in the old site.. it's also in wikipedia as the developers.. here's the link to the archived page of the old site which metions it:

Didn't they make The Studio just for this game?

 

[india3]

yeah, but he said that they had just finished a large-scale game, so i figured that it wouldn't be just random good programmers..

Ninja monkeys...

It's a studio that he made from various people. As a collective, this is their first game.

So does anyone know for sure?

 

[india3]

oh wait.. i heard somebody saying it's capcom somewhere in this forum..

*Facepalm*

Sora, ltd is Sora, ltd. Nothing else. Certain members are from other parts of Nintendo and/or other companies, but Sora, ltd is Sora, ltd.

They said they hope that it's Capcom, not that it really is Capcom. No one knows who the Studio is, and that's why it's a mystery.
