Capcom
Capcom was formed in Japan in 1979, with the sole purpose of making electronic games. They were a major attraction in the arcade business, with many smash hits before even starting with the NES. The arcade games included Commando, 1942, and Ghosts 'N Goblins. Many of these games were later ported to the NES.
By far the most recignized Capcom character is Mega Man. The arcade game spawned five sequels on the NES alone, and very well might have made Capcom what it is today. Many of Capcom's games are considered "must-haves" by many NES gamers, including the Mega Man series (of course) and Bionic Commando. Though many of their older games were marred with bad translations, Capcom was not a company to be overlooked. They were one of the later companies to drop the NES, in 1992 after Mega Man V. Though a Mega Man VI was made, it was done so by Nintendo.
Capcom is still alive and kicking today. After it emerged from the NES, it took over arcades in the early 90s with the release of Street Fighter II, which spawned countless clones and got the U.S. back into arcades. They're still giants in the aracade business, while developing games for the Playstation and Dreamcast.
