Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking another chapter in the company's impressive 40+ year history of gaming hardware. While initial impressions suggest a relatively safe approach, we're eager to see what Nintendo has in store. This article dives into the Switch 2 trailer details and takes a nostalgic look back 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). But which reigns supreme? This ranking considers both hardware innovation and the quality and lasting impact of each console's game library.
My personal top tier includes the NES, fueled by cherished childhood memories of classics like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. The Switch's innovative hybrid design (despite occasional stick drift) and its stellar game lineup, featuring masterpieces like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey, secures its place alongside the NES.
