Monolith would be the perfect developers for Nintendo to pair with Platinum Games in order to get this project on track. I think that's where they went wrong, is Platinum were making something so large outside of their comfort zone with no back up experience to turn to when things went off track. Microsoft seems like a company that's so hands off when they throw money at something and check on it later it's either amazing or a pile of mess and in shambles.

Platinum is more than qualified to develop this game. We don't know the specifics but if Platinum can make Bayonetta 2 as beautiful as they did on the Wii U, they can certainly do so for Scalebound on the X1. I don't think it's a matter of qualifications for this issue.

It's not an issue of fidelity, it's an issue of open world development.  There's plenty of devs that can create spectacular, say, shooters who would fall on their face if they tried to develop an open world game.  And if that's part of what is giving them trouble then yes, Monolith would be the perfect partner.
