Then there's the obligatory Square, Enix, Game Arts, and Tri Ace.

Nitpicking: Enix wasn't a developer, only publisher.

I thought I wouldn't live to see someone say this.

Mine: Capcom, Square, Treasure. NIS is also slowly becoming a favorite.

I always check the games these companies put out for a system to decide if I should buy the console or not.
