Every Nintendo Console Tier List

Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking a new chapter in the company's impressive 40+ year history of video game hardware. While initial impressions suggest a relatively safe approach, we're eager to see what Nintendo has up its sleeve. This article dives into the Switch 2 trailer details and offers a retrospective look at Nintendo's console legacy.

Nintendo boasts eight home consoles (NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and Switch) and five handhelds (Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS). Ranking them is a subjective endeavor, considering both hardware innovation and the quality of their game libraries. Below is one possible ranking, emphasizing personal preference:

The NES holds a special place, filled with nostalgic memories of classic titles like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. The Switch's innovative hybrid design and stellar game library, including Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey, secure its position alongside the NES at the top.
