Every Nintendo Console Tier List

Author : Bella Mar 19,2025

Nintendo's recent unveiling of the Switch 2 marks a significant milestone in the company's 40-year history of gaming hardware. While initial impressions suggest a cautious approach, the anticipation is palpable. This article explores the legacy of Nintendo consoles, culminating in a personal ranking and inviting you to create your own.

Nintendo boasts an impressive lineup: 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 requires considering both hardware innovation and the impact of their game libraries. My personal tier list, presented below, reflects this:

Simon Cardy's Nintendo Console Tier List

Nostalgia plays a significant role. The NES holds a special place, filled with cherished memories of *Super Mario Bros.*, *Mega Man 2*, and the notoriously challenging *Hook*. The Switch, with its innovative hybrid design and exceptional titles like *The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom* and *Super Mario Odyssey*, equally deserves top ranking.

Feel free to disagree! Perhaps you believe the Virtual Boy surpasses the N64. Create your own tier list below and compare your rankings with the IGN community.
