Has Monolith surpassed Retro Studio as new Nintendo elite studio?

I'd consider monolyth better IF they can create another hit IP. Retro has two.
Insys still blows both away. They've been there since the beginning, developing hardware, and also being in charge and creating three classic ninty ips: wars, fire emblem, and paper mario.

Why is that even relevant? So the oldest development studio automatically wins?

Retro Studios was formed from former Iguana Entertainment employees, who are best known for the classic Turok series. 

Intelligent Systems is a decent developer with a very high output, but that comes at a cost as they've developed quite a few mediocre and even down right terrible games: 

- Game & Wario (terrible)

- Paper Mario Sticker Star (terrible)

- Paper Mario: Color Splash (mediocre)

- Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. (terrible)

Code name steam is great.

 

Aanyways, the fact is that they've created 3 beloved  ninty IPs fromscratch

 for the paper mario situation... not really thier fault that the director for PM64 and TTYD wanted to do something else. (He's currently busy with the fairly sucessful, if japan only, fire emblem TCG. My point is that they've made for more of an impact in ninty than either rare or monolyth, ESPECIALLY in japan. More so since the prime series actually turned off fans in japan.
