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 hardware. While initial impressions suggest a cautious 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 a remarkable catalog: 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:

Personal nostalgia heavily influences rankings. The NES, with its iconic titles like Super Mario Bros., Mega Man 2, and Hook, holds a special place for many, including myself. Similarly, the Switch's innovative hybrid design and exceptional games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey solidify its position at the top.

However, this is a matter of personal preference. Feel free to create your own Nintendo console tier list and compare it with the IGN community.
