Monolith Soft, the critically acclaimed studio behind Wii's exclusive JRPG title, Xenoblade, last year revealed their upcoming ambitious project which was only titled "X" are now urgently looking for designers. At the careers section on Monolith Soft's website, they have several jobs listed as urgent.
Monolith Soft, the studio that worked on Xenoblade and Breath of the Wild, also helped to develop The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
No surprise there. They helped out in BOTW as well. Monolith Soft is one of Nintendo's hardest working studios. When they aren't making their own games they help other Nintendo studios with their games.
Still one of the best and most underrated map designers in the industry. Always loved their environments even back on Xenoblade Chronicles X
Is it massive entertaining RPG that doesn't disappoint? Indeed. It fulfills all expectations with excellent story, lot of dilemmas, well-written characters, vast world and plenty of activities and combat. Fans can be satisfied again and newcomers could give it a shot, finally.
NE looks back on what he feels was Nintendo's greatest acquisition ever, Monolith Soft - the developer of Xenoblade.
Nintendo should have bought Rare, when it was hot! After Microsoft bought it Rare had a lot of personnel changes, and it hurt the quality of games. Rare is better now, but much different than it once was.
Monolith said Xenoblade X, would not come to Switch, because the game is huge and would be "to costly". It would be great if Xenoblade X came to the Switch successor with a complete remake. Xenoblade X to this day looks great on Wii U. Seeing it on Nintendo's next platform would be fantastic! Switch is too underpowered to give X the remake it deserves.
This year I fully expect a Switch successor announcement. Switch is almost 6 years old. The OLED Switch really makes games look so much better, in handheld mode. Still it is time for a major upgrade. I would like the next one to have a minimum of 10GB of ram, and handheld mode a minimum of 1080p, 4K when docked. If Nintendo follows the hybrid model.
Nintendo should have gone out of their way years ago and went for a merger with Sega. Monolith is fine. But Sega would have been much more as a merger back then. RPGs, racing, fighting, flying, puzzles, shooters, etc that Sega is known for. And Nintendo's in house games. It would have been total Japanese domination.
Just as other Japanese companies merged to weather the storm of the recession or were like minded like Bandai/Namco, Tecmo/Koei, Square/Enix, etc, a Nintendo Sega would have controlled the arcade and the home market. Nintendo helping Sega and ridding their debt in exchange of dumping certain individuals that led Sega to being a 3rd party developer. If Square and Enix could work, a Nintendo Sega could have worked. Monolith is cool. But that would have been cooler.
Nintendo Multiplying their effort. Nintendo is probably making a game better than GTAV & GTA Online, one game that can sustain WII U for Years.
