Every Nintendo Console Tier List

Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking another chapter in the company's rich 40-year history of gaming hardware. While initial impressions suggest a cautious approach, we're eager to see what Nintendo has in store. 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. Here's one possible ranking, prioritizing innovation and game legacy:

The NES holds a special place, filled with nostalgic memories of classics like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. The Switch, with its innovative hybrid design and exceptional titles like Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey, also earns a top spot.
