A number of developers are keen to work their magic on Nintendo's upcoming console, so it should not come as a shock that a first-party developer for the company would be next in line to announce its contribution. Monolith Soft, who recently created Xenoblade Chronicles and Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, is currently in the middle of creating a game for the Wii U, the new system that was announced at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo.

The company recently put up new positions on its recruitment page, according to a translation done by Siliconera. The page itself states that the company is looking for an effects designer to create battle effects in the upcoming game. Other positions include a motion designer for events and battle scenes, as well as an experienced 2D designer who can draw mecha using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Corel Painter.

Monolith Soft's recent title, Xenoblade Chronicles, will be available for the Wii later this year. For more on the game, check out, GameSpot's latest preview..
