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 explores the Switch 2 trailer details and offers a retrospective look at Nintendo's console legacy.
Nintendo boasts a remarkable catalog: 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). 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 nostalgic memories of classic titles like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. The Switch also earns a top spot due to its innovative hybrid design and its stellar game library, featuring masterpieces like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey.
