Those were ten of my favorites off the top of my head in no particular order.

Nintendo

Can't think of anything else I want in there. If you asked me 15 years ago, this list would probably have around 20 more studios.

Intelligent Systems, Blizzard, Rare, Namco Bandai, DICE, among other past great studios are all pretty crap now.

It is hard to pick your favorite developers when you like me have been gaming for nearly 40 years and much has changed. I could pick Thalamus, Cinemaware or System 3 for example, but they no longer exist. Anyway:

Capcom (most consistent through time. Street Fighter 2, Resident Evil 1-3, Dead Rising 1-4)

Taito (the developer of my all-time favorite game Bubble Bobble)

Sega (old Sonic games, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage 1,2)

Square (Final Fantasy 4-7 in particular)

Konami (Silent Hill)

Take Two (GTA, Bioshock, Borderlands)

EA (EA Hockey, NHL94, Desert Strike)

Bioware (Dragon Age, Mass Effect)

Bethseda (Fallout, Oblivion)

Technos (Double Dragon)
