Has Monolith surpassed Retro Studio as new Nintendo elite studio?

That's also why I asked if Retro was understaffed:

Since 2007 (already 8.5 years) we only got 2 games from them, the 2 DK games.

In less than this time, Monolith released two Xenoblade games, which take more time to create, while doing tons of help for other games and other studios.

Yep. They did the Lanayru section in Skyward Sword, and they may be likely helping with Zelda HD. Monolith has surpassed Retro's latest output easily. Prime Trilogy is what it is holding them right now, but as time passes Monolith will surpass entirely.

 

I said it in my early post but retro feels like the new rare. We remember gen defining games like prime but see nothing of that kind of effort going forward.  Dk in 2d is not going to wow or be a generation defining game. And Nintendo doesn't need more platformers, it needs more variaty and graphics that can push the hardware. Monolith Soft looks good for Nintendos HD future.
