Hopefully the game has a real ending unlike Xenoblade X.....

I doubt Monolith has any influence over the game's story.

that's almost bad news in a way. That means monolith is not at full capacity to work on a new game. Nintendo needs to hire more quality development teams but i'd be surprised if they currently have the income to support that kind of expansion. Could be a rough year 1 for nx.... which will probably turn into a rough generation :(. Man, i'm not usually that pesimistic. what just happened?? lol

While I agree Nintendo needs to hire more dev teams, Monolith has been helping out with EAD games for a while now. They worked on Skyward Sword and Pikmin 3 as well. Their next game wouldn't be due out until at least 2018 anyway, probably longer, so they may as well help to ensure that NX gets a strong launch title in Breath of the Wild.

Couldnt it be argued that working on Skyward Sword & Pikmin 3 is what caused Monolith Soft to take 5 years between Xenoblade & Xenoblade X?
