Some crappy, underwhelming third-party studio called just Monolith.
Expect it to be horrible.
This makes much more sense. I had heard the rumor, and some things didn't quite make sense... but didn't stop to think it would be a different studio with a similar name. Good clarification.

To be fair, Monolith Productions is 5 years older than Monolith Soft (Productions was founded in 1994, Soft in 1999). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolith_Productions
They most recently developed Gotham City Imposters, which is getting good reviews.
They've never made a game on a Nintendo platform, so who knows if they would start now.
