-Bear in mind that we are voting for the best dev team and not necessarily the the team with the best games. Of course game quality will be the major deciding factor, but try to remember that your vote should also be based on such factors as: customer service, how quickly the devs put out games, DLC, etc.

NOTE: We have a lot of development teams to go through so please be patient.

For the anime games alone...hand downs Bandai but although Final Bout was possibly a bad DBZ game. Digimon World is actually a really outstanding RPG.

My vote goes for Bandai. They picked up a lot of popular TV series and were smart on it. DBZ and SailorMoon are classics.

I kinda have my head scratching at starwars..battlefront?? Crossover between starwars and battlezone??

Ehhh Bandai is a more household name so I'll go with that.

I like this one, better than the last! I'd say its tough but Bandai is my choice because of all of their great titles including DBZ etc. So yeah, my vote is Bandai.

I'm not sure what to make of this round. For one, Bandai published a lot more than they develop. For two, the games division of Bandai has now been merged into Namco Bandai. For three, Bandai does a lot more than just games. Are we supposed to factor any of that stuff into our decision?

Honestly, I'm voting Pandemic just for the sake of simplicity. Their games aren't my style, but they're well-crafted. Mercenaries was fun for a while. The Saboteur looked neat, too. I might try it now that it's probably bargain bin priced. Bandai published way too many licensed games that I wasn't a fan of. Namco Bandai is more consistent and has a decent list of good franchises, though, which is why this is such a weird round...

Well. I guess I would have to be specific when it comes to situations like this. Thanks for pointing it out.

I was pretty much talking about Bandai pre-Namco Bandai, hence why I said Bandai alone and not Namco...Namco it's on it's own as well.

And no, just games. developed by them. It doesn't have to be console games though.

@BoldMushroom Actually, no...to avoid confusion and because I put SquareEnix as one. I will have to merge Namco Bandai as one.

Done, they are now one and I asked one of the mods to make the changes.

Going with Bandai.
Becaus I've played their games.
And they own the Souls games.
And the Tekken series.

I wrote OWN, not DEVS.
Namco Bandai publishes it, so they're the copyright holders of the series.

That doesn't count though

I don't know who to choose for this one. For one, Bandai doesn't make very good games. Take Mobile Suit Gundam Crossfire for example, it was possibly one of their worst games that ruined their reputation. Their only remedy for this was Ace Combat 6.

Pandemic on the other hand is another tough one since the only game I've played back then from them was Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers but that was way back then.

Sadly, I won't be able to choose for this round but if I were to vote, it would go to Bandai due to their only good game IMO, Ace Combat 6.

@Light Buster

You dont like Tekken? =O

I changed it to Namco Bandai.

Ehh , I'm not voting on Namco for the quality of their games, but for the "suckyness" of everything that ever came out of Pandemic Studios.

@Kaitou+

Tekken was okay. Not the best fighter but it was okay.

Next match is coming up.
