Monolith Soft is not Nintendo though (in the sense that they don't actively decide the names of their projects)

Monolith Soft is Nintendo and ultimately has the last say in all its decisions. 

I know, what I meant is that... unless Nintendo does not approve a certain name, it's up to the developer to decide. Xenoblade Chronicles is not a name Nintendo made up. Monolith Soft did. So, if Monolith wants to call this "Definitive Edition" and Nintendo does not have anything to say about it, that's how it will be called. There is no rule for the remastering naming for Nintendo products as far as we can tell.
