Basically this. If I had to choose I'd say Nintendo because I've loved a lot of their games ranging from the expected like Pokémon and Mario, to the most interesting (though still entirely expected) titles like Kid Icarus, but countless developers have made games I love and they've equally made games I've hated including Nintendo, so I don't think it's logical to choose just one. It's a bit of a cop out answer I know, but it's the result of putting some thought into the question after I was blindly going to answer "Nintendo they made cute games yay". XD

I like to not have very high expectations, so I'd rather not have a favorite developer. Hell I don't even know who'd I'd call my favorite, since video game developers tend to be very inconsistent.

I like this line of thought, but I still have a favorite. Rareware from pre-MS days. That was a golden time for that company.

I also, in agreement with you, think devs tend to be hit or miss. Like, id Software had a lot of good games in the 90s, but now they aren't very relevant.

However, I still think the question is valid because it's like asking who your favorite author/director is. I tend to like Christopher Nolan's films, for example, and I absolutely detest Michael Bay. When it comes to devs, though, they're a group of people and so the quality (or lack thereof) seems to be less consistent, as you pointed out.

Finally, sometimes a game is developed by "Nintendo" but Nintendo has different studios within. The studio that develops Star Fox isn't the same one that develops Fire Emblem. Shigeru Miyamoto created Mario (I think) but I don't think he's involved in his games anymore.

My favorite developers have to be Game Freak, Naughty Dog and Mojang. So brilliant.....
