If we go by the ratio of failure/success Valve and Blizzard are currently sitting at 0 while Nintendo is above that, not more than 1 that's for sure, but above that 0. It takes a lot of hard work to constantly make top-nothc innovative games and Nintendo has failed before. Don't get me wrong, I have a Wii as well and my love owards it is second only to my PC, but again I'm just calling it as I see it.

Oh, of course Valve or Blizzard has so few (at the moment, 0) failures - they're much smaller, so they make very few games. Nintendo needs to pump out tons to support their systems, so there are bound to be some bad eggs in the batch. I was only arguing that Nintendo has easily revolutionized the gaming industry scene much as (or more than) Carmack(id) / Newell(Valve).

You may want to go revisit the early work of Blizzard. Rock and Roll Racing was god awful.

You mean Blackthorne, and the Lost vikings as well? All those 3 games were awesome. Especially the Vikings. That game just pure hilarity.

I haven't played Blackthorne as yet so I won't comment. I enjoyed Lost Vikings, but the 2nd one wasn't what I would call good. Death and Return of Superman had some serious issues as well, but I love the genre so I enjoyed it. I love everything Blizzard has done since Warcraft 2, but they had a rocky start.

Ah, of course. I discovered them with Warcraft II (I was only like 8yrs old then after all), so I don't know much about their pre-Warcraft days, though I've heard of Lost Vikings. Well, what really counts is their no-failure streak ever since they got big.

Oh man I didn't even know they had Lost Vikings II, it has to be tried out!

Wasn't it Quest that developed Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle, with Atlus just publishing?
