That's like saying Marvel employees aren't Disney employees. Monolith is a company under Nintendo's umbrella. Where do you think Monolith is taking its funds to pay its workers from?

I think you're wrong and plenty of games counter your argument.

Do they make games Sony is incapable of making though?
Look, they just don't count okay? Deal with it.

So you literally have no exposure to recent Nintendo software but your posting in a thread where we're discussing their software?

They are part of Sony, just like Monolith is part of Nintendo, so your question doesn't make sense.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Which I played and got on 3DS.
It's unfair to lump Monolith Soft in as being Nintendo. They're owned by Nintendo, but they're still their own company which makes games with a Monolith Soft touch.
Now try pulling this same argument with Retro Studios. I guess the latest Donkey Kong titles aren't Nintendo games! In fact, since Rare employees made the initial trilogy, the entire Donkey Kong Country series has never actually been a Nintendo franchise! Remove that blindfold from your eyes, people!
Come on, mate.
Reaching so far it's punching the sky.

Better take out those bananas in the OP then, cos DK is made by Retro and it's unfair to lump them under Nintendo.
He is basically living up to the nick. Reaching so high here hes punching the sky.

Comparing this to the projects funded (plus general 1st party variety) in previous gens would make too long of a list to bother, lol. Especially if you throw in something like 3 month exclusivity for Ninja Gaiden 3... Remember when they had the entire Resident Evil series locked?

Different studios make different games. Retro make Metroid and Donkey Kong, EAD make Mario, Monster games made Excitetruck and Monolith Soft make Xenoblade. They are all Nintendo, this is a silly arguement.

I see you don't want to answer that. Typical
I'm just joking of course, I just really like the "This Nintendo studio makes games Nintendo is unable to make" post

It's not unfair, it's reality:
They are a subsidiary of Nintendo. Nintendo pays their checks and therefore it's employees.
Monolith Kyoto helped to develop Skyward Swords, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, it's not just Xenoblade.
You're trying really hard to divorce Monolith Soft from Nintendo, but for what reason? To strengthen your argument?
Well every Nintendo department has a different touch. See Intelligent Systems, Retro Studios, HAL Laboratories, Sakurai/Sora, etc. just like Rare and Silicon Knights did.
By this logic Naughty Dog is not a sony studio.

Unfair? Unfair to whom?
Yes, they have their own philosophies and own style but they are Nintendo employees and have even helped with development for internal Nintendo studios.

It was a joke from the start
To their argument.
Seeing how this thread is becoming the usual frontline with the same gaf casting I think my "no?" was enough. Everybody here knows where this "discussion" will go and now we're at the stage of the "is it really a 1rst party studio?" & "but new ips!".
Open world AAA action adventure with rpg elements is porn gaming. Mario is a love affair.

The funniest thing is that we have this talk of X studio should count as Nintendo every month.
They are a studio with their own flair, yes. But the company is 100% owned by Nintendo. For all intents and purposes, Monolith Soft is Nintendo. Don't let the name fool you.
3 minutes ago I didn't know Monolith Soft was wholly owned by Nintendo, but a brief review of Wikipedia and even I can see you're on the wrong side of this. Take the L.
You have no idea in how many of Nintendo products Monolith is involved nowadays.

Paper Mario...?
You're arguing semantics now to downplay the fact that Xenoblade is a Nintendo franchise because you like it.

Silicon Knights? They actually totally don't count as Nintendo tho. They were never owned by them.

That's my point (too boot).
Monolith Soft helped to develop:
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf
- Pikmin 3
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
- Splatoon
- Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

It only counts as Nintendo if Myamoto has worked on it.
What's the difference between Nintendo developing or publishing games to appeal to different audiences. Heck even stuff like the Resident Evil exclusivity back in the GC days is a move to appeal to a different base even if it's not directly made by them. Sort of like how Sony is associated with MGS or how they have SFV on their exclusive catalogue.
Was just naming Mother 3 as the bestest story (but not necessarily the easiest to be driven by narrative). But it's mostly Miyamoto's school of design where story takes a complete back seat with the exception of Zelda and Starfox. But other teams really do work a lot better in that regard and value it a lot more. My biggest dissapointment is stuff like them losing Cing (despite the new Kyle Hyde successor clone).
