Nintendo voted Famitsu's number one game developer by readers

Famitsu magazine readers in Japan voted Nintendo the number one game developer, ahead of Square Enix, Capcom, Atlus and FromSoftware. Nintendo responded with a statement thanking fans and Famitsu, highlighting "originality" as its core theme and pledging to keep producing unique entertainment. The result is particularly notable given Square Enix's dominance in Japan as the Dragon Quest developer.
