Which Nintendo console is the best of all time? Analyzing the company's 130+ year history with the NES, GameCube, and more.

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.
There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.
I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Glad to see SNES take the top! It really is timeless. Graphics and gameplay that even the youngbloods can appreciate today (still influencing modern indies!), but we aging gamers hold such fond memories of experiencing firsthand. Man, what a time to grow up.
I still hold my NES and Gameboy in the top 3... I still love playing them today and were so groundbreaking for me, but I completely understand that it doesn't hold the same timelessness for everyone that the SNES has. My 6 year old daughter adores Super Mario World, but doesn't get into the original SMB as much.
Good list!
For me…it would be
SNES
N64
Nintendo DS
Game boy
Switch
NES
GameCube
Wii
Couldn't agree more with number 1.
1. N64
2. NES (insane library, but the worst console design ever)
3. Super Nintendo
4. Switch
For me it's
1 NES
2 switch
3 SNES
4 wii
5 n64
6 GameCube
7 wii U
I cut my teeth gaming on the NES and then owned a mega drive followed by ps so I don't have the same nostalgia for the SNES as most people but pretty much most systems after the fact are interchangeable depending on my mood there's something amazing on each system even the Wii U.
