Every Nintendo Console Tier List

Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking another chapter in the company's impressive 40+ year history of video game consoles. While initial impressions suggest a relatively safe approach, the anticipation is palpable. This article delves 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:

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.
