Monolith Soft really does just seem to be Nintendo’s go-to when they need help with an open world. Which is fine — *XC1* and *XCX* have really great open worlds, and they definitely helped breathe life into Hyrule for *BotW*/*TotK*.
Monolith is the most OP game studio of all time, probably the best investment Nintendo has ever made.
The miracle workers of Nintendo
Good studio
Nintendo struck gold with Monolith Soft.
I wonder what “environments” means here, given the whole “open world racing” nature. Like presumably they didn’t make the tracks, but did they make the connecting spaces? Just the skyboxes? Etc.
Hopefully we get a clearer translation / interview at some point. Learning that they did work on the topography for BOTW was cool because you could really see the throughline for how they design their worlds, the similarities between how Xenoblade X and BOTW two years later make you walk through a landscape were really starkly different from other open world games at the time
Monolith Soft really is the “I know a guy” of game development.
They just need to help GF now
…can they help Pokemon?
During Free Roam,
Mario: Ah, what a nice driv- Is that Territorial-!?
*Guitar starts playing*
Would love for them to work or “help” on a Pokémon game
They’re the GOATS for a reason
Monolith GOAT
In the time between BotW and TotK releasing, Monolith Soft was able to release/remake the entire mainline Xenoblade trilogy for the Switch with new content added to each game, and assisted with developing several other Nintendo games… including BotW and TotK…
Ok hear me out, every dlc is a continent themed to a different nintendo series like dk and zelda and animal crossing, and they xenoblade
Arguably the most valuable and efficient purchase of a video game dev in recent years.
Monolith Soft continuing to compete with FromSoft for being the best studio in the industry. Must be the Soft. More studios need a Soft at the end.
In the beginning it was thought that Nintendo saved Monolith Studio by buying them out and giving them free reign on making whatever games they want to make.
Boy has this purchase paid off big time. Probably one of Nintendo best studio. What’s great about them is they don’t need hand holding to make good games.
Can’t wait for the level 85 Kong in the starting area. Monolith Soft dominates as usual!
Of course they did lol
So you know it’s good 👌
And bandai namco studios, 1up studio and dozens of other support studios that are ignored.
At this point the news is when Monolith Soft is not involved in a Nintendo game.
Every thing they do, I swear. Pure Gold
Please help Gamefreak next.
God I can’t wait to see what their next game is
Give them a Pokemon game. Just ONE.
It’s bat shit crazy that Xenoblade X definitive edition is able to run on the Switch and well….
