Over the past few years I have made top 10 lists for my favorite games on most of the consoles I own. I have recently ranked the #1 games from each list against each other to decided the best of the best.
But now it is time to pick the 10 publishers/developers that most often appeared in those top 10 lists, #1 being the company that most often made it.
I can tell you my top three developers by personal opinion right now, but I won’t. I am curious to see if those three make the list and in what position.
So here we go, the 10 most recurring companies that made games that are on my top 10 lists!
Okay…So there was a LOT of ties, but here goes…
#10 There’s A Handful
These companies made it into the top 10 lists twice.
PlatinumGames
Ubisoft Montpellier
Square EA
Raven Software
Game Freak
Blizzard Entertainment
Activision
Clover Studios
Camelot Software Planning
Monolith Productions
Naughty Dog
#9 A Little Less This Time
The next companies appeared three times in my top 10 lists. This is where the companies really start to shine in my eyes.
Ubisoft
Konami
Sucker Punch
#8 Another Handful Here
These next companies appeared an impressive four times on my lists!
Namco Bandai (or Bandai Namco)
Retro Studios
SquareSoft
Alphadream Corportation
Inti Creates
SCE Santa Monica
#7 A Couple Here
The next companies appeared 5 times on the list. Now we are starting to see the cream of the crop!!
LucasArts
Sonic Team
#6 Intelligent Systems
There’s just this one! The great development team behind Paper Mario is the only company to appear 6 times!
#5 Hal Labs
Another standing alone with seven of their games showing up on my lists!
#4 Two Awesome Ones Here!
The number four spot is taken by these two for having eight games appear on my lists!
Rare Ltd.
Square Enix
#3 Two Powerhouse Companies!
The number three spot is tied thanks to games appearing a whopping 11 times on my lists!
Sega
Sony Computer Entertainment America
Sony and the minds behind Sonic are two of my favorites for sure, Sega actually is probably my third favorite dev.
#2 Capcom
The company that brought us Mega Man and Resident Evil has appeared 21 times in my lists! Wowsers!! They would actually be about my fourth favorite developer in my personal opinion, but clearly they deliver more of my favorite games than any other company except…
#1 Nintendo
These guys are absolutely my favorite developers. Practically every game they have ever made has been incredible, and the ones that aren’t are just plain good. This company has destroyed the rest, taking a massive 80 spots on my lists! They are indeed my favorite video game company!
That’s all folks!
I always update these lists if new games make the top 10’s, which really doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I will update this list as well, which has the potential to change this entire thing drastically. Who knows what the future will hold? If this list does change, that just means I have discovered some truly incredible new games!!
