Weren't MS involved with BOTW already?

In some capacity...

“On Skyward Sword, Monolith had mainly helped us on graphics design and other artistic elements. Even though we could have asked them for help on the technical side, we realized their way of making games was completely different from ours and we didn’t have much to learn from them on this installment, since we were almost doing two different jobs. On the other hand, for Breath of the Wild, we’ve been assisted by level designers used to large game areas, in order to make topographic arrangements.”

[up] Adding on to that, they also helped on A Link Between Worlds as well.

But right now, we don't know if this is their own spin-off/mainline game or if they are just helping like they've done in the past.

There are also people speculating the work done on the medieval fantasy game was for the Zelda one, but it's too early to tell.

[up]Something tells me this might be their own take. Like I brought up last page, they were recruiting for a medieval game they were making after XC2 two years ago.

This Zelda game could be that secret medieval game...

If that fantasy game they've been working is actually Zelda, that might just be the most disappointing news ever.

Give me Breath of the Wild but with giant flying robots.

Honestly it wouldn't take much to make her look like Zelda.

Didn't Breath of the Wild already have giant flying robots?

I mean Zelda's nice and all, but I'd been hoping to see Monolith doing something new. Not that I’d object to seeing Monolith do a Zelda game, because I’d probably love it (although in this case they’re probably helping out like they did with Breath of the Wild) but I hope it’s not the same thing as their other fantasy project.

As the one person who doesn't care about the Zelda franchise I find it unfortunate they couldn't focus their efforts elsewhere.

Monoloth Soft have almost 200 employees and have three teams: Xenoblade, new IP, and support.

I wonder what their new IP will be about. They made Disaster: Day of Crisis after all, and that's quite wildly different from Xenoblade and Soma Bringer.

E3 presentations typically do happen before the conference proper begins.

I'm aware. The competitive events this year however, seem to be a few days before the convention and presumably before Nintendo's own Direct. Nintendo's E3 competitive events are usually a day before or after in some cases.

Universal Studios Singapore will be getting a Super Nintendo World.

Nintendo will be establishing an official presence in Israel soon.

Triple post: Reputation Institute's 2019 RepTrak survey of US cooperate reputations lists Nintendo as having the 9th best reputation in the US, being the only gaming company in the top ten, alongside the ranks of Netflix, Hershey, Whirlpool, Rolex, McCormick, Barnes & Noble, Hasbro, Costco, and LEGO.

I can't find any info on the rest of the list, but based on what I've read elsewhere, it's also one of the only gaming companies in the top fifty.

When your CEO opts to take a salary cut over sacking a huge chunk of employees, that's a significant sign. One other game companies hardly follow at all.

I wonder if there should be a law...

There should be, yes. One of the Nordic countries (I always mix them up) passed a law where the highest-paid member of the company is still limited by a multiple of the lowest-paid employee's salary. It was a big multiple, two hundred times or something, but still better than what we do everywhere else.

Update on an old rumor from the Wii U days.

https://nintendoeverything.com/former-criterion-boss-clarifies-rumors-that-the-studio-was-asked-to-make-an-f-zero-game-for-wii-u/

tl;dr the F-Zero game was never a thing.

While we probably are getting something this month due to the Joker Cosmic Deadline I wouldn't trust Gamingintel with anything. Scuttlebutt's that they pay people to write fake leaks/rumors for them.
