How many of those games are ports?
Jet Set Radio is amazing and all, but Treasure's been making great games for a decade. This shouldn't even be close, but with all the SEGA fanboys in these parts, I have a feeling Smilebit will win.
And yes, the SEGA Rally 2 port was crappy.
Ask me this question in another ten years when Smilebit has a library of games.
Treasure wins by quantity factor for now.
I love Smilebit, and this would be a tough desicion, but...
I'm an action junkie, and half of Smilebit's games are ones I really couldn't care less about.
Compare that to the company that convinced me to buy an N64 and Saturn, and have provided me with the greatest beat 'em up, some of the best platformers, some incredible shooters, and my favorite game of all time, and there really isn't much of a comparision.
But by God are JGR, JSRF, GunValk, and Typing of the Dead incredible.
Re: Smilebit's Japanese games
I really really really think I'd love those "Let's Make A Pro Soccer/Baseball Team" games if they were in English. I really like sim games and manangment games and sport games, and so those games have always looked really interesting and fun to me (much more so that something like CM3). One of these days I hope SEGA decides to translate one of those games and at least try to sell it in Europe.
Smilebit seems to know sports fairly well too; Baseball Advance / Greatest Nine is one of the best baseball games I have ever played. :)
I give my vote to Treasure.

And i'm waiting Panzer dragoon Orta (certainly a great game)
smilebit used to be Sega R&D3 (or some number, I just picked three at random), just like Overworks used to be R&D2. They were making games long before the Sega internal shakeup decided when that department got the name 'smilebit'.
I'll just have to say smilebit for my pick, I dearly want to get my hands on sin & punishment, but seeing what smilebit could do with gunvalkyrie was amazing..but they botched on the controls. I'd give that game an extra two stars if they had customizable controls and felt it was painfully obvious they needed to fix that, they must have lost alot of potential sales and fans because you couldn't pick it up and play, you wanted to do the opposite instead when exploration turned to frustration.
This is a silly, silly thread...
...Smilebit.
Gunstar Heros and then a few other duds on the Genesis!? I can't belive you just summed up Treasure's entire 16 bit works as "Gunstar Heros and then a few other duds on the Genesis"!Quote:

Didn't Treasure have something to do with the original Contra and Castlevania?
