Nintendo's Switch 2 is finally here, marking another chapter in the company's impressive 40+ year history of video game hardware. While initial impressions suggest a more cautious approach than some might have hoped, the anticipation is palpable. This article dives into the Switch 2 trailer details, but first, let's 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). Ranking them is a challenge, requiring consideration of both hardware innovation and the quality and lasting impact of their game libraries. Here's one possible ranking, prioritizing innovation and game legacy:
The NES holds a special place, filled with nostalgic memories of classics like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2. Similarly, the Switch's innovative hybrid design and stellar titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey secure its position at the top.

The Nintendo Switch 2's ultimate placement remains to be seen, but with only a two-minute trailer currently available, speculation is rife. Share your predictions and reasoning in the comments below!
