Blizzard Ousts Nintendo As Most Successful Developer

This year's Develop 100 list has been published by Issuu and Blizzard Entertainment have ousted Nintendo be the most bankable studio in their 2009 list.

Thats quite an impressive leap.

[ShawnCollier]

Wow, that's a shocker.

if blizzard says so...

[Pebz]

Think maybe you missread the title (I did, before reading the story) as Blizzard saying that Nintendo are the most successful developers, but it's actually about profits. Blizzard > Nintendo basically.

Here I was thinking they were ready to announce World of Mariocraft for the Wii...

Pebz don't pretend that wouldn't be awesome. I'd be a Toadstool Paladin with a Blue Yoshi mount.

[Pebz]

I wouldn't dare to pretend that it wouldn't be awesome, Nintendo's Mario department and Blizzard are both the stuff of legends. But it would still be somewhat silly.

Yes, things can be both silly and awesome at the same time.

[SpoonyRedMage]

I was only joking about you pretending it won't be awesome;).

At least bunny hopping would make a bit of sense.

Sales, sales and more sales. Very good Nintendo that you have managed to decieve so many people and trick them into buying your games. Too bad that your games count for sh!t when comes to quality.

(my opinion only).

[Smacktard]

Outside of Wii Play and Wii Music, Nintendo's games are nothing but quality. Metacritic disagrees with you. I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke account or what.

[Knewness]

That was unexpected
