Has Monolith surpassed Retro Studio as new Nintendo elite studio?

Metroid prime and Donkey Kong are not IPs from Retro. They're Nintendo's original property and Retro just happened to gain access to them. That's Retro's problem for me they have never had their own thing - their own original idea. Granted they did an incredible job with Metroid prime and a decent job with rebooting Donkey Kong.  Monolith soft on the other hand created the Xenoblade series on its own

Using an existing IP and massivly reinvigorating and imporving it is as hard as a new ip. I mean just look at star fox...

As I've said.... Retro is incredible talented and they did an amazing job with Metroid prime. But: People always act like Retro did wonders on Metroid and they completely changed the Metroid series. Yes Nintendo failed to figure out how to translate Metroid into 3D and Retro managed to do it. However, at the end it is just Metroid in 3D..... Don't get me wrong I love the Metroid prime trilogy.
