2.9

Nintendo Virtual Boy - Game Hardware

The only console that I have never played.

157

7.8

Game Boy Color - Game Hardware

It didn't do much different other than add color.

Game Boy

It was the first major handheld system, had a ton of games, and was basically indestructible.

355

8.4

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) - Game Hardware

It is a classic, but I cannot ignore the fact that the games are extremely clunky and dated.

7.3

Nintendo Wii U - Game Hardware

Nintendo was so close to making a really great console with the Wii U.

Nintendo DS

A good handheld system with a massive library largely due to its backward compatibility with the Game Boy Advance games.

456

Nintendo GameCube - Game Hardware

It had Metroid Prime and the controller is great.

8.5

Nintendo Switch - Game Hardware

Best of both worlds, but please give me something else besides Wii U ports. Also, hurry up with Metroid Prime 4.

8.2

Nintendo 3DS - Game Hardware

It has some really good games and access to even more on the digital shop.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)

566

8.8

Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) - Game Hardware

An improvement in every way from the NES. Games that are still enjoyable and a much better controller.

Game Boy Advance

The small portable size and the backlight contributed to this being one of the best consoles.

866

8.3

Nintendo Wii - Game Hardware

It gave us motion controls instead of decent graphics.

377

8.2

Nintendo 64 - Game Hardware

Great games, crappy controller.

I have had at least some experience with every Nintendo console and want to put those feelings into a list! I was born in the 90's so I have greater sentiment to those systems, but I will try to look at each system objectively. My two main areas of critique are: How has the system aged? How influential or groundbreaking was the system and its games for the time? Other factors such as game library and controller design are not as important as the other two but will also be a topic of thought. Give me your thoughts and show me how you would rank this great lineup of systems!
