Sakurai’s Project Sora releases first game

Project Sora, the new studio headed by Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, just shipped its first title in Japan, Issen, a Made in Ore microgame (Sakurai says this as a joke, but it’s technically true!).

This release is part of Nintendo’s selection of celebrity-created downloadable microgames posted every week — the last of which was Takahashi Meijin’s bomb-exploding piece. In this game, which Sakurai spent around 2 hours whipping up, players slash watermelons and Tengu heads (but not bombs!). You can see bits of it scattered throughout this five minute video.

Speaking of Made in Ore, Takahashi Meijin, and watermelons, someone made this wonderful microgame based on the legend’s watermelon-splitting technique:

Absolutely genius.
