Capcom is the best developer on that list, IMO.

Well Capcom is most people's favorite third party developer, but they really don't do much for Nintendo.

Capcom made the 2 GBC Zeldas and the 1 GBA Zelda, but definitely had nothing to do with the GB one, Link's Awakening, best Zelda ever fucking made in this or any other potential universe.

Also, you can use this to fix this thread up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_developers

There are only 7 Nintendo 2nd party devs right now, but it also lists all the 3rd parties that develop for Nintendo systems both exclusively or non-exclusively.

Most of the time their best games are on Nintendo's consoles.

They give Nintendo's handhelds some great games as well. The Megaman Zero series is seriously some of the best platforming you'll play. Plus, on top of all that, they have been able to use the Wii-note better than anyone this entire generation including Nintendo themselves.

Name a game that's better than Resident Evil 4. There's not one damn game on the Wii that uses the controller better than that game.

 I think Metroid Prime 3 does a better job...plus that's an actual Wii game, not just a port.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Trauma Center. Shaking for reloads is not a smart decision IMO. The knife use was kinda slow also.

OT. HAL Laboratory and Intelligent Systems are the best of them all.

Meh, I'm probably just a bit bias (actually, I know I'm bias). After playing the game with a GameCube controller, the difference is just more obvious than those other games are.
