Yeah that's even more telling as it's an objective sign of growth, they've been pivotal in the development of games like BOTW, TOTK, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart World etc... They're essentially Nintendo's right hand at this point.

You guys are talking about business health. I'm talking about their portfolio. Before Nintendo they were making; After Nintendo they're still making Xeno  games. They're still making the same games. 

By this point they should be hand picked to introduce a brand new Nintendo IP that will stand with the Legacy ones. By this point they should be leading development on a ZELDA game, not backend grunt work. At the vey least the should have more than one active IP... c'mon. Those are signs of a growing studio.

Yeah, as someone who doesn't care for Xenoblade (but watched my son play it on Wii and saw the potential), I really think Nintendo should let Monolith try something new.
