Every Nintendo Console Tier List

Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking a significant milestone in the company's 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, but first, let's look back at Nintendo's impressive console legacy.

Over the decades, Nintendo has released eight home consoles (NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, 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 task, but considering both hardware innovation and the impact of their game libraries, here's a possible tier list:

My personal S-tier includes the NES, filled with nostalgic memories of classics like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. The Switch's innovative hybrid design and incredible games like Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey also earn it a top spot.
