Factor 5 and any studio headed by Masahiro Sakurai.

Rogue Squadron, Smash Bros / Kid Icarus.

And I guess EAD or whatever because every game ever. Oh yeah, Intelligent Systems... Paper Mario.

Gotta give non-Nintendo studios some love. Thatgamecompany and Naughty Dog are awesome. Sucker Punch is pretty cool. Oh yeah, Valve. Just all of Valve.
