5. Retro Studios- They didn't make many games, but all of them ( from what I played) are really great. The Prime trilogy is one of the best video game trilogies ever with Metroid Prime being one of my all time favorite games. Donkey Kong Country Returns was also a pretty good game and from what I heard Tropical Frezee improves upon that game in many ways! I only wish they would try to make new IPs since they are very talented!
4. Old Capcom (RIP)- Nowdays Capcom is a joke, but they used to be so damn great! They made many great Mega Man games ( the bad ones barely existed!), the Resident Evil games were pretty good, the first 4 Breath of Fire games were pretty enjoyable, DuckTales was tons of fun and they even worked on Minish Cap which is my 3rd favorite 2D Zelda game ( behind AlttP and ALBW)!
3. Squaresoft ( RIP)- Same deal as Capcom. Square was so damn awesome back then. Most of the FInal Fantasy games they made were simply fantastic, Super Mario RPG was a gem, Chrono Trigger was a masterpiece and they also made many awesome games that sadly stayed in Japan like Bahamut Lagoon and Seiken Densetsu 3!
2. Valve- Most of Valve's games are so much fun. I always have a good time playing some good ol' Counter Strike with my buddies, Team Fortress 2 is also tons of fun, Left 4 Dead 2 is also another game I play a lot with my buddies, Half-Life 2 is in my top 20 and I like the Portal games even if I am not too good at them.
1. Nintendo EAD- Yes. I am a huge Nintendo fanboy so that's why EAD is number 1. They simply made too many great games so I will only count the most important ones. The Mario games ( Mario World, Mario Galaxy, 3D World , Mario 64) are tons of fun, the Zelda franchise is an all-around great franchise, Mario Kart is also amazing ( MKWii wasn't too good, but I am hopeful that 8 will be very good!), the Pikmin games are unique and fun and many other games like Wave Race, Star Fox 64 and F-Zero!
Honorable mention:
Naughty Dog- Simply for Jak and Daxter, the old Crash games and Uncharted really. I don't really care about The Last of Us ( don't kill me!) and the sequels to Jak and Daxter weren't really that good so that's why Naughty Dog is not in my top 5.
