Bioware, Team ICO, and Valve. You can't narrow it down anymore than that.

Well, depends on when really. If you mean right now today, I'd say probably Level-5 or Kojima Productions.

Game Freak, followed by Nintendo EAD.

Nothing can compare to Pokemon, obviously, and I don't see how a lot can be put on top of almost every other important Nintendo game.


IMO Gamefreak is one of the worst developers. I loved pokemon but the franchise didn't evolved.

Pokemon in 1996:

 

Pokemon in 2011:

 

They just put uncreative new monster instead of improving the game itself.

They certain are one of the most greedy developers. Slightly more than Activision. The fact is: they make A LOT of money and they don't reinvest that on the game itself. They could at least invest like 5% of the revenue that they get, instead of probably less than 1%.

I think that Nintendo could modernize Gamefreak a little more. What would be cool is if Nintendo made a spin-off Pokemon with a Third-Party dev like Level-5.

Another problem is the yearly releases for the franchise. A Pokemon game will never have the same personality and impact as the Blu/Red. It turned out to be a single-player experience instead of playing with friends.

IMO Nintendo should make only 1 pokemon X/Y for 3DS.
