Topic: Where does Sora go from here?

Sora, a company under the great Masahiro Sakurai has now finished Smash which brings me the next question......what could Sora do next?

As of now, Sakurai-san has made games exclusively for Nintendo and has barely went into making games multi-plat.....even Meteos a game not solely owned by Nintendo remains an exclusive (really need to get that game btw.....)

With what happened last year for Nintendo, how in the hell is Tatsumi Kimishima or Nintendo for that matter continue to have a strong bond between them and Sora? For all we know, Sora might just give up on Nintendo and go third party releasing games for PS4, Xbox One or even make games for Kickstarter.

Now some of you might be defending and saying that he's a freelance game director so if he's hired to make a game, he'd most likely make it regardless of what platform he's making games on. But as of now, the only companies that make use of his talent is Q Entertainment and Nintendo....the latter who is responsible for bringing him to what he is known as now. Sony can make use of him.....which would mean that we won't see him make a new game for either the 3DS, Wii U or the NX for that matter.

The reason that I'm posting this is because its making me wonder how things will turn out from here on between Sora and Nintendo. Satoru Iwata was the only one who understood him and was his very best friend. I'm paranoid of what Kimishima-San can possibly do to Sora.....since he doesn't know much of gaming unlike Hiroshi Yamauchi and Iwata-san. For all we know, he could force Sora to rush the game and end up angering Sakurai-san.

I'm lukewarm about Uprising but even I will admit that the game is really cool and he's the main dude responsible for Kirby. To see him in bad terms with Nintendo is a no no for both him and Nintendo.

@DarthNocturnal: Sora as of now is second party dev. And yeah, Its true that its not owned by Nintendo. However, he as of now is known only by the Nintendo audience because he used Nintendo IP's in the first place. And like I said, Meteos isn't a Nintendo IP, but it remains as an exclusive for Nintendo.

Speaking of which, Meteos is originally going to be a multiplat but it ended up being exclusive because of the DS touch capabilities. So yes, while it doesn't necessarily mean that it would remain exclusive for one console, it does bring the potential of being an exclusive.

Yes....Kimishima-San is a businessman. He can't understand how games work. Why there's not even an interview with him on how he decided to work with Nintendo after leaving the Sanwa Bank. He hasn't even participated in the last Direct that Nintendo hosted last year.

@DarthNocturnal: Knowing the western market doesn't necessarily mean that he can demand games that we want to buy and play. How that makes him know the gaming world wonders me.....

@arronishere: Yeah, you're absolutely right! It could really happen.....I should've known that Sora isn't in good terms with Nintendo.

Huh?

What reason would we have to believe that relations between Sakurai and Nintendo have soured in the last few months and he no longer wants to work with them? Did I miss something?

Why is this even a topic?

So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.

What does this have to do with Kingdom Hearts?

Sakurai didn't want to include another Fire Emblem character in Smash but Nintendo made him so he threw a strop, luckily the ghost of christmas past visited him and gave him a copy of Fates which he really enjoyed so decided he would include Corrin anyway but is still miffed about being told what to do.

@DarthNocturnal: But how will that ever help in Sora making games exclusively for Nintendo?

An open world 3D Kirby that runs like Super Mario Sunshine and God of War, that also has good graphics like Super Mario 3D World. 4 player modes, Wii remote+ support or GamePad, add in a randomized dungeon and mini games like Kirby Airride levels. Kind of like Banjo N&B type extra activities.

Or... they could team up with Genius Senority and Pokemon Company to make Pokemon Colosseum 3 that will take Pokemon Snatching to the next level and transfer to Pokemon Z. Plenty of weird motorcycle chases and such.

I guess they could make PS Battle Extravaganza(sequle to Royale) for PS4, then Nintendo will bribe them not to, resulting in an awesome Kirby or Pokemon game.

Sora should team up with Platinum and Kojima Productions on an original IP to make the most insane game of all time.
It wouldn't be able to release for any system because nothing could handle that much style.

Nintendo needs to buy Sega and Atlus, then create Sega Dreamcast 2 as the next-gen hybrid console that beats iPad for sure.

That's where Sora comes in.

@SCAR: But they also release for PC, because they're cool like that.
Minimum requirements:
CPU: Intel Core i7 5960X
GPU: Nvidia Tesla k80
RAM: 128 GB
HDD Space: 12 TB
DirectX 11
Windows 10 64-bit

If you don't know what any of that means, let's just say you can buy a nice car for that kind of money.
