From Nintendo comes word today that Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, founder of Nintendo first-party developer Sora Ltd., has formed a new company called Project Sora.

Sakurai will head the company in developing an original project for Nintendo, which holds a controlling interest. The project is said to be unrelated to the Smash Bros. franchise, going by comments made by Sakurai in an interview with Nintendo head honcho Satoru Iwata.

“I can promise an experience that’s different from anything [you've played] up until now,” he added.

No information on the project itself was given though.
