Content:	Monolith Soft was founded by Hirohide Sugiura, Tetsuya Takahashi, and Yasuyuki Honne, with financial backing from Namco (now Bandai Namco), to develop Xenosaga, a spiritual successor to Square's Xenogears. In 2007, Nintendo acquired an 80% stake in Monolith Soft from Namco, increasing its share to 96% by 2011.

While it’s unclear exactly when this occurred, it appears that Nintendo has now acquired the remaining shares.
