Pretty nice list, anyway u can add Nintendo?


If someone can make me one that would be great seeing as how I got the list from neogaf which didn't include nintendo.


It wouldn't be difficult to put together a list of first-party Nintendo developers, but navigating the second and third-party relationships would take some serious effort.

Well I've already got the first-party done so why not?

Nice list. Looking forward to see what titles Sony and MS show at E3. There were rumors that Sumo Digital (Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed) was working on LBP3. Has that been rejected?
