Nintendo's recent Switch 2 reveal finally confirms the arrival of their latest console. With a rich history spanning over 40 years, expectations are high. While initial impressions suggest a cautious approach, the excitement is palpable. This article delves into the Switch 2 trailer details, but first, let's take a nostalgic trip through Nintendo's console history.
Nintendo boasts eight home consoles (NES, Super NES, 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 challenging task, requiring consideration of both hardware innovation and the lasting impact of their game libraries. My personal ranking, using an IGN Tier List, is shown below:
The NES holds a special place, filled with cherished memories of classics like Super Mario Bros., Mega Man 2, and the notoriously difficult Hook. This nostalgic fondness, combined with the Switch's innovative hybrid design and its impressive game library (including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey), earns them both top spots in my S tier.
