Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking another chapter in their impressive 40+ year history of gaming hardware. While initial impressions suggest a cautious approach, the anticipation is palpable. This article dives into the Switch 2 trailer details, but first, let's revisit Nintendo's console legacy.
Over the decades, Nintendo has launched 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). Ranking them is a subjective challenge, balancing hardware innovation with the quality and lasting impact of their game libraries. Here's one perspective:
The NES holds a special place, filled with nostalgic memories of classics like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. The Switch, with its innovative hybrid design and exceptional titles like Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey, also earns a top spot.
