Has Monolith surpassed Retro Studio as new Nintendo elite studio?

They surpassed them with Xenoblade 1 and I like Prime series a lot. A LOT. From Xenoblade to working on Splatoon series and Mario Kart games since then to being responsible for the world design in BoTW. The answer is yes. They are one of Nintendo's most important studios. MP4 could get a meta of 99 and still feel this way.
