Has Monolith surpassed Retro Studio as new Nintendo elite studio?

Yep

So we know now they can do open-world action-adventure and RPGs, but what other genres have they dug into?

While under Nintendo?Only RPG really.Games that only they have made so far are Xenoblade and assists like BOTW.But there are teo caveats to this:They are a newer studio compared to Retro(while under Nintendo) so they will have fewer games as a consequence.And both Xenoblade games only sold 1 million units, so their budget is smaller due to this(and thus their games wont be able to compete with other games that have more money purely in terms of graphics).That may and probably will change with Xenoblade Chronicles 2, since that game , seemingly, is bound to sell way more than the other Xenoblade games, with 2 millions being realistic.

 

They may tap into a different type of game with what they used to do with their new project(which seems to not be related to Xenoblade), but I think we are at least a year away from some sort of announcement.
