None of the other developers on this list would even be here if not for Nintendo. The Big N and gaming go together better than Captain America's shield and Iron Man's face, their mark on the industry being present in every cutesy character design andevery design philosophy.

They even helped intuit how to process3D space and move through it with Mario 64- simply think ofany game off the top of your head, and one of its team members will be a Nintendofan.It's that simple.

2016 marks one of their most important years yet, as although new console the NX is apparently not going to be shown at E3 (although I really doubt there'll be nothing at all), they're still beavering away polishing up the next Zelda, rolling out content patches and fixes for the wondrous Super Mario Maker, and gearing up for the multi-million selling Pokémon Sun & Moon.

Nintendo have always been a pillar of the industry since day one, but 2016 sees them teasing all sorts of exciting ideas that should make for one hell of an interesting year.
