I'd say Konami but they're big and supposed to make good games.

For 16-bit, will also say why

God tier:

Nintendo-only the best
Capcom-large variety of quality and quantity
Taito-magical arcade games (I would say Taito is more Disneyish than Nintendo)
Hudson-top tier developer/maker of the PC Engine. Nuff said.

Great tier:

Namco-lots of creative and fun arcade ports, but some crap too.
IREM-not a whole lot, but some lovely games. Incredible PCE conversions though
SEGA-awesome games, but not on the level of Nintendo

Good tier:

Toaplan-good shmups, ALL Your Base meme is amazing. Graphics are wonky though, and difficulty is strange
Konami-overally mostly good games, the rare masterpiece though

Meh tier:

Data East: love Bloody Wolf, that's about it
Jaleco: could not care about their games

lol no IREM love?

Konami, Hudoson/Red, Sega (arcade only), Capcom, IREM, Taito, Namco, Toaplan, Nintendo, UPL, Data East...

to be honest, there are so many good ones and they all had their excellent games of their own.
