Nintendo is objectively the best, and it's not even close. But I would like to nominate the team that made Astro Bot and its free cousin. They are making platformers that are as good as the best ever... and that's not easy to do after this many decades. Truly masters. I also appreciate their more mature take, compared with Nintendo's. Playing DKB was fun, but at times it felt like I was playing a game designed for ten-year-olds; like something out of modern Pixar movie. That isn't the case with Astro.
I'd also like to throw Kojima Studios in there. Kojima is an under-appreciated genius, and his games are works of art.
And when/if former Team Ico releases their new game, I might even include them.
