Intelligent Systems.

Makers of Super Metroid, all Paper Marios, Advance Wars, and Fire Emblem, yet I don't think I've ever seen their name mentioned once on any forum =\

Its probably because most 1st party Nintendo devs are always refered to as just Nintendo.

But Hal Laboratories is not a Wholly-Owned Subsiderary like Intelligent Systems, but Retro Studios is Wholly Owned and alot of people know them, Brownie Brown is alot more unknown then Intelligent Systems They made Magical Starsign (Magical Vacation in Japan, Sword of Mana, Heroes of Mana, Mother 3 (With Hal Laboratories)

EA would be one. Everyone gives them a ton of crap but really they release some pretty good stuff(C&C3, Burnout: Paradise, Skate ect).

Double Fine is another.

Free Radical Design. They're the best FPS devs in the industry so why don't they get any recognition?

Criterion

Even though there now part of the posioned chalice that is 1st party EA developers they have still managed to bring out quality games

Free Radical

Ever since Haze all you see is this dev getting bashed when the timesplitters series was excellent and different and the founders where the ones that made goldeneye so wait and see what haze turns out like although id blame Ubisodt id its craph theyve gone downhill since they keep getting hard ons over trying new stupid things

This. Their games are consistently amazing and genre-bending, and they don't get enough credit for it.

For example?

What? You can't say anything good about Bungie in these forums without somebody saying something along the lines of "Valve is better."

Relic, they are one of the best RTS's devs out their, yet they are overshadowed by Blizzard, despite a lot of Relic's games being as good as, if not better, than a lot of Blizzards.

Probably Starbreeze or Naughty Dog, both produce very solid games at worst.

2nd Party is different, 1st Party is in Nintendo's Case

  • Nintendo EAD
  • Nintendo NST
  • SPD
  • Brownie Brown
  • Intelligent Systems
  • Retro Studios
  • NDCube

All the others are 2nd Party since they aren't Wholly Owned by Nintendo, but Nintendo owns some of that company.
