No Homebrews or Japanese (famicom only) companies.
Which original NTSC NES publisher is your favorite besides"The Big 3"?
THE BIG 3
(In no particular order)
Nintendo
Capcom
Konami/Ultra
Edit : to vote on the "Big 3" check out this thread
http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=165685
Consider the following:
-gameplay
-music
-graphics
-controls
-box art
-game characters
-collectability
- and so on, consider everything!
There are so many great publishers for the NES so it is a more difficult question once "The Big 3" are not in the running.
This is a great site to search by publisher so use it for reference. http://nesguide.com . I just think it has a really nice layout and search options.
I personally love Sunsoft. Top notch music (if not the best on the system), challenging gameplay with some absolute gems on the system.
There is no right or wrong answer, but there are a lot of different opinions so please discuss. Edit: I forgot to mention my close second which would be Tecmo. Love the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Fire N Ice, Rygar and both Tecmo Bowl games to say the least.

Agreed. Although, if we are also including PAL games (Ufouria and Mr. Gimmick) I would give Sunsoft #1
NO I MEANT ENIX!!!
Now the data is skewed........
As a gamer, probably Tecmo for me. Big fan of Tecmo Bowl / Super Bowl and Ninja Gaiden.

of course Gimmick! counts, one of the best games on the system
Waiting for KHAN Games, Sole Goose Productions, and Sly Dog Studios to be added to the poll.
waiting for the other two to get mad when you don't vote for them
Square no question at "all"
NO I MEANT ENIX!!!
Now the data is skewed........
Dammit Toxie, go play some Battletoads already!

Man I need to stay away from Battletoads until tomorrow....I think that is why my head is way off.
Deja Vu, Uninvited, Shadowgate. I love that series.

No question! Ufouria is also one of my fave NES titles.
Who should be honored with the 'authorship' of a video game? The publisher or the developer?
Seeing all those publisher names makes me think about something :

Developer has authorship.

Yeah, that's what I think too, but there's probably some cases where it is more ambiguous, but I can't think of anything as a good example off the top of my head.
Sunsoft for sure. Or taito in second
Yeah, I was torn between those two, but I gave the edge to Sunsoft.
Vic Tokai is up there for me, too.
Who the hell said LJN!?!?!
I can kind of see it.
THQ would be unforgiveable.

Haha I was wondering who picked LJN? Probably an accident,
It'd also be fun for someone to start the opposite of this thread- Which is the worst NES publisher? THQ would be my vote too Tulpa!
