The development team behind the critically acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii U have taken part in an internal interview, during which they talk about their blossoming relationship with Nintendo. Monolith Soft Director, Yasuyuki Honne, says that the firm is on a recruitment drive to massively increase the amount of personnel at Monolith Soft. The Monolith Soft team also stated that the number of meetings between Nintendo and Monolith Soft has increased greatly. Both companies are now working together and Nintendo has been providing the company will valuable feedback and tweaks to help improve their games.

finally some good news.

Encouraging and pleasant news

I like the part with "says that the firm is on a recruitment drive to massively increase the amount of personnel at Monolith Soft."

Good to see both companies getting along so well. I`m pretty sure this will reflect in future projects for Wii U or 3DS.

Sounds like a good partnership for both sides. Nintendo benefits greatly from the role-playing game expertise and talent at Monolith, and Monolith benefits from the financial and creative stewardship of Nintendo.

Yep, good news finally, and Nintendo has been hinting at there being more of these kinds of relationships that will soon be revealed.

This is great news. Nintendo is making some friends again!

Reminds me of the way Nintendo took Rareware under their wings.

And then shoved them away violently.

Did Nintendo really shove them away violently? Or did MS just buy them violently? ;P
