The question is simple: Which of these third-party companies is your favorite, in terms of games they have developed and/ or published for Nintendo systems from the beginning of time until today?

Since a Negative World poll is limited to ten choices, I decided to stick with (arguably) the most well known companies who have contributed significantly to the library of games on Nintendo platforms, in terms of both quality and quantity.

Some of these guys have been around since the NES days; others fell from grace (Sega) on their way to becoming Nintendo supporters. One of them no longer exists, while others have become companies certain gamers have come to loathe (in part because of their success?). (And I cheated a bit by putting Square Enix on the list instead of separating them as they were before the merger, for those who have a greater preference for one or the other).

(Note: I'm not including Rare; their main support was as a second-party/ direct partner with Nintendo.)

There are some obvious favorites of mine to choose from (including Capcom and Konami) but I'm having a hard time picking just one favorite.

What about you? Easy decision? Looking forward to hearing from you!

@Mr_Mustache

You are thinking of Hudson.

Oh, cool, so it WAS Hudson with Mario Party. Diggity digs!

Personally I'd go with Capcom, Namco, Square, Atlus, and Konami in that order.
