Creator of Xenogear now in Nintendo's family.

Monolith Soft, the creator of the Xeno series (including Xenogears and the three Xenosaga games) is now part of the Nintendo family.

Bandai Namco (maker of endless Gundam games, including Gundam Musou), which owned 96% stake in the company, sold 80% to Nintendo. Bandai Namco will retain the remaining 16% stake and will continue to use the studio for planning and development.

So are we going to see more Xenosaga on the Wii or the DS? I bloody hope so. The Xenosaga series was great fun, though some people might disagree. Xenosaga I & II is already out on the DS (though there is no English version thus far).

Disaster: Day of Crisis, which is developed by Monolith Soft, is coming out on the Wii.
