Without a doubt, Monolith Soft has become one of the most important teams under the Nintendo banner. The first reason for that statement is simple: they’ve made a series of great games on Nintendo Switch and are known for pushing the hardware to the limit to get the best quality. You can see that in full in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition (read my review!) However, the other reason is what brings us here today. You see, the crew doesn’t just make their own games, they help Nintendo with their other 1st party titles quite often.
The team that does that for Monolith Soft is the Kyoto Studio crew. In a special post by the team, they broke down the studio and how it’s been helping Nintendo since the Wii days!
So this crew is all about building up new tools and resources while assisting Nintendo whenever they ask. No wonder they’re so valued by The Big N! Oh, and as that post noted, they’ll be hiring for some new positions, and we got some more details on that, too:
All of this just makes us wonder what they’re working on right now and when we might see more...
