Who currently owns the video game development company that co-developed Xenosaga: Pied Piper, along side Namco Mobile and Tom Create?
Monolith Soft Monolith Soft, Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社モノリスソフト , Hepburn: Kabushiki gaisha Monorisu Sofuto ) is a Japanese video game development company. It was originally owned by Namco (later Namco Bandai) and currently owned by Nintendo. The company was founded in 1999 by Tetsuya Takahashi with the support and cooperation of Masaya Nakamura, the founder of Namco in order to develop the "Xenosaga" series, a spiritual successor to the Square-developed "Xenogears". Multiple Square staff would join Takahashi at Monolith Soft including Hirohide Sugiura and Yasuyuki Honne.
PlatinumGames PlatinumGames Inc. (プラチナゲームズ株式会社 , Purachina Gēmuzu Kabushiki Gaisha ) is a Japanese video game development company. The company was founded in October 2007, as result of the merger between Seeds Inc. and Odd Inc. The following year, video game publisher Sega announced that it would be publishing four unique properties developed by the company, which included "MadWorld", "Infinite Space", "Bayonetta", and "Vanquish". Their partnership later extended to include "Anarchy Reigns". However, none of these were a commercial success, even though most of them received high critical praise.
