Well, aside from Sega, you've got SNK, which is still limping along.
They, like Sega, *had* to get out of the hardware business entirely to
have any chance of survival. It's too bad, too, because the Neo Geo
Pocket Color was one sweet little portable.
There weren't very many consoles companies that were also viable
software publishers.

Speaking of the transition from the "old days" to modern game making,
Itagaki may be an annoying prick with more ego than sense, but absent
some camera and bug issues, Ninja Gaiden 2 was able to take the feel
and pacing of 2D games like Strider and Shinobi, and bring it into the
3rd dimension effectively.
