Who's your favorite developer for TG?
« on: June 30, 2011, 04:07:27 PM »
I realize there aren't a huge number of choices for this. Falcom seems like an obvious choice with gems like Ys and Dragon Slayer. Red is another good choice. I'm guessing it might be sacrilege to say this, but IREM wouldn't make the list for me. Chris Covell might though!  8)

What do you think?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

To be honest, I don't understand the relationship between the two. Was Red at one time owned by Hudson?

RED... followed by Hudson Soft.

Most of my favorite (PCE) games were developed by RED.

Is Red actually a developer? I mean, do they have coders and such? I always thought they just did art and design and things like that.

Anyway, Hudson, obviously. Both a dev and a publisher. Bomberman 94 is impressive as hell, but even when they just port something, like Fatal Fury or Ys, they take that shit to 11. Plus, they largely made the system itself.

Probably Atlus. While Hudson and Red made some great games, it's also due to Hudson making so damn many. Atlus only did a few PCE games, but every single one was great, AFAIK.

I agree with Zeta, as long as we're limiting it to Turbo/PCE developers. Hudson Soft has a staggering amount of just PHENOMENAL games on the console. Granted, they developed more games for the system than any other softhouse so they have something of an advantage right off the bat. They produced some clunkers, but a miniscule amount by comparison to some others.

Runner-up for me would be Compile. Not a single bad game developed for the system (excluding their involvement with Namco's "Xevious" debacle).

If we expanded this to include all consoles, I'd say the SEGA of 1985-1996 gets the ribbon for the best developer of all time.

I don't think Naxat really developed much, they were mostly just a publisher.

They may have developed Psychosis in-house, but that's all I can think of offhand.

Compile, then Hudson/Red tied for 1st. Probably Falcom for 2nd. I am sure I am forgetting some. NEC did pretty good with its Capcom ports. I am still being amazed my Daimakaimura! Did NEC port SSII:CE, or was it done by Capcom themselves? I don't own the game yet, so I have no immediate reference.

Did Falcom actually make any of their own PC Engine games, Ys, Dragon Slayer, Popful Mail were all ported by Hudson as far as I can remember.

Yeah, Falcom didn't do anything on consoles other than license out their games that were originally design and made for Japanese computers.
