Lets not forget that they have the only game of the year contender this generation aside from oblivion, where you don't have a gun and blast stuff. So what do you think? I think on some genre's they are. Some genre's they have not touched. I beleive pound for pound they are still the heavyweight champions of the world.

One of the best. I would have to say Valve is a much better developer.

The big three as far as I'm concerned: Nintendo, Blizzard, Valve.

I don't think they've even been in the top 5 since N64 days. I mean they make a lot of games but so much of it is just the same damned design with some gimmick to it.

Bioware took a chance with a new kind of game, nintendo rehased the same old mario crap and slaped a new gimic on it.

Plus Kotor, Jade Empire, Baulers Gate, Never winter nights ect > Nitendo

No, not the best. good though

its impossible to say that nintendo is the best when all they ever seem to do is reuse the same damn characters over and over and over again. what makes them a great dev, is there ability to keep these old licenses fun.....but its getting really old

seriously nintendo, can you come up with something else? i mean something brand new, like pikmin was

I'd say they're still the best. And I don't care if they keep making Zelda, Metroid and Mario games as long they remain good, which each one of them has.

Insomniac and Naughty Dog have a much better track record than Mistwalker. So why ridicule him for his choices?

I think they still are.

Near them are Capcom, Konami, Square-Enix and of course Blizzard. Also Ubisoft is making a name.

Because none of those you listed make Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Castlevania, Dead Rising, Gradius, Zack & Wiki, Contra, Phoenix Wright, Silent Hill, Viewtiful Joe, or Dance Dance Revolution. Only devs I might consider putting up there with Ninty, Konami, and Capcom are Rockstar and Treasure, but while they can match those three in terms of quality, they can't in quantity.

Konami only publishes MGS. I think you meant Fox Hound.

Lets not forget that they have the only game of the year contender this generation aside from oblivion, where you don't have a gun and blast stuff. So what do you think? I think on some genre's they are. Some genre's they have not touched. I beleive pound for pound they are still the heavyweight champions of the world.Nin360

Umm... No... If the PS2 didn't pound the Gamecube and the PS1 didn't pound the N64 then you might have been onto something. Nintendo hasn't been on the top for decades and I doubt they ever wiill. It's only a matter of time before the Wii fad is long gone and forgotten. Also, the chance that a Wii game actually wins game of the year is slim to none. The PS3 or 360 will be king. I just don't know which.

Blizzard and Valve are better than Nintendo, especially lately. Although i have misgivings about the game director for StarCraft2.

I'm surprised how anyone could put up Capcom. Don't take it the wrong way, they make some great games, but they make some bad, bad games.

Companies like Blizzard and Valve consistantly put out games that are Game of the Year nominies.

I'd put Blizzard above everyone else, closely followed by Valve and Nintendo.

Nintendo as a dev, not nintendo as a console maker, but you do make a point. How many devs could keep a console alive with almost no good third party suport? as for the wii and not having a GOTY, SMG is now the highest rated game of all time. I think it has a shot

Yes, Nintendo is the best developer in the industry.
