3rd or 4th overall? How many platformers have you played? lol.

I'd put but at least Capcom, Sega, Konami, Namco, Hudson, Tecmo, Taito and Treasure ahead of them.  Probably more if I really thought about it, there were tons of companies producing amazing platformers in the 8/16bit days.  Hell, I'd even say Sony's beast platformer came from then (SkyBlazer).

 

I'd also say Capcom is 2nd this gen, no question.  Thing is, all their good stuff is on the download services (MM9/10, BC ReArmed) or handhelds (UGNG, MM/X remakes, ZX/Advent).
