This is tricky.
For me, the Metroid Prime Trilogy is better than the Xenoblade games, however, the last of those games released almost 9 years ago. If we're talking about recent output, then Monolith has surpassed them in my mind, simply because I much prefer Xenoblade to Donkey Kong. Also, it's worth noting that Monolith helped develop Skyward Sword, as well as many other huge Nintendo games recently. I know that Retro has helped with Mario Kart, but it's not quite the same.
Basically, as long as Retro is making Donkey Kong games and Monolith is making Xenoblade games, Monolith will have the upper hand in my book. But overall, Retro has made the superior games, albeit 10+ years ago...
