Developers that have never made a "bad game"

Madworld is a bad game.
But in that case, as SolidSnakex said, all developers have made a "bad" game, because at least one person out there hates one of their games. Now what if we were to talk about Ride to hell:retribution and one person would say he liked it? Not saying his opinions are wrong, but the game is still bad for the majority of others.
If you were to judge a game by it's overall quality, and not by your personal preferance,Games like Persona 4 and Infamous are pretty good for what they are. For example, Little big planet is a game I don't like at all. Don't like the floaty platforming and the whole "create your own levels" is not for me. Does it mean it's bad? Of course not. It has charm, and I can see the game's quality even if it's not to my tastes.
But I don't think that's true.
What is a bad game developed by Retro, for example?

Godlike developers.
Treasure is a developer that is more versatile than great, and they definitely have made games on the lower half of the scale.

Retro made all the dk related assets for mk7
If Mario Kart 7 is the worst game you can think of then Retro is still hasn't made something bad.

I only know of two I can say in confidence.
Retro Studios: Brought Metroid into 3D in a huge way and made a Donkey Kong Country game that is incredible. I have no doubt Tropical Freeze will be good.
Bungie: It's crazy to me to see so little representation of this developer considering their history. I haven't been able to play Minotaur back but Pathways, the Marathon trilogy, Myth duo, Oni and five Halo games have been made without one of them being an objective stinker. I have nothing but insane respect for them.

Flow is terrible and Flower isn't a game. But, man, Journey? Journey is divine.

Bungie's never made a bad game.
Pathways Into Darkness
Marathon
Myth
Oni
Halo
Oni wasn't great, and Gnop was just Pong, but they've never made a BAD game.
Some of you have very odd definitions of bad games. Big Rigs was a bad game, Robocop for the Xbox was a bad game, Postal 3 was a bad game.
CallingDiablo 3 anything Blizzard have done in the past five years straight-up "bad" is, well...odd. Disappointing? Sure. Ill-advised? Absolutely. But bad? Mmkay.

The Metroid Prime series is a complete borefest.

Why all that hate for Jak 2? Given I was about 15 when I played it, but I loved it.
Also, DICE has not been mentioned often.
In terms of multiplayer all of their games were good (not couting Add Ons or DLC's, havent played most of these). But I'm not sure if Battlefield Heroes was an inhouse production, I personally didnt like it, though it might have been a decent F2P title.

Was going to mention intelligent systems but they developed some gbc launch games that were received kinda negatively.
Paper Mario Sticker Star.
No love for intelligent systems( paper Mario's and Tetris attack, and fire emblem)? They must have some horrible game i don't know about.
Also, what about alpha dream? Do they have bad games I don't know about because the m&l games have been solid.
Does Rare of Nintendo count?

Bungie and PD probably the only real contenders from games i've played.
AlphaDream made a few Hamtaro games. I have no idea if they're good or not lol.
There are also some Japan only games they've made. Yet again, no idea what their quality is.
And Rare? They made this atrocity.

Going back to their Way of the Warrior days almost seems too easy, so I'll throw this in here
total disappointment
Dissapointment =\= Bad game
Intelligent Systems had an absolutely amazing record for over 25 years, but then came deeply flawed Super Paper Mario, subpar Paper Mario Sticker Star and finally this year Game & Wario. They still make some amazing games (FE:A, Pushmo, Crashmo), but their history isn't as flawless as it used to be.
Agreed!
Dungeon Siege III.
Monolithsoft has made plenty of bad games. The Namco x Capcom team has NEVER made a good game. Xenosaga Episode II and Xenoblade were bad, too.
