@@mangekyos82 wrong. There is no world where the wii u is better than the snes. The snes is the greatest console of its generation, extremely historically significant, was loved and is still loved today. It's so great that Indie developers still make games featured in the same 16 bit style. It's the pinnacle of 2D gaming and was a major commercial success. That console released some of the greatest games of all time. The Wii U was an epic fail by almost every metric. Terrible sales to the point that if Nintendo hadn't pushed the release of the switch, they would've been in big trouble. There were a few good games, but they've all been updated and ported to the switch. Sorry, there is no argument to be had here.

[@oscarzxn4067]

Sorry but I don't get how anyone can look at a console like the Wii U that got almost no third party support, with many game genres being almost completely absent and overall getting few games from Nintendo themselves compared to other systems and some of those games being dissapointing during it's run Time and say "yeah, this Is one of the best Nintendo consoles right here".

[@williamkoscielniak7871]

Because he isn't bringing any historical context into the discussion. I don't think that's a good way to rank systems, but given the fact that he's doing that, then the Wii U would rank extremely high because it contains all Wii games and Wii virtual console games plus the Wii U library and Wii U virtual console games.

[@oscarzxn4067]

Then Nintendo could release Switch 2 with like 3 new games but backwards conpatibility, and it would be one of the best consoles. No, it would be trash, I could use a regular Switch for that, the new games are way More important

Oh boy... It's pretty clear you have done your research. Tons of info here. But wow this is one of the worst takes I've ever seen in gaming content. GameCube released in 2001 and Wii in 2006 isn't an "incredibly short lifespan". Putting the SNES in the bottom 3 is just insane. The Wii U being above those bottom 4 is one of the worst takes I've ever heard in gaming, and I actually love the Wii U. I sure hope your next video is redeeming because I love your presentation and research work. Maybe it's just because your young (you mentioned you played the n64 because you had an older brother).

[@williamkoscielniak7871]

His ranking actually makes sense once you realize that he's ranking them solely based on what they provide in and of themselves, regardless of historical context. The fact that the Wii U contains the entire Wii and Wii virtual console library as well as the Wii U and Wii U virtual console library puts it far ahead of systems like the NES, SNES, N64, and GC which do not have anything close to that collection of games. It's an unorthodox way to rank systems though, to be sure.

[@KFXG]

They're all good consoles with games I still play today, but here's my ranking: 1. GameCube 2. Switch 3. SNES 4. N64 5. Wii 6. WiiU 7. NES

[@jamieellis1094]

This is a solid list

[@luciolynx5443]

GC over Switch, nahhhh.

[@luciolynx5443]

Here’s my agrgument with the Switch being below the GC. With the WII you get the Gamecube too basically, so technically it cant be even above the WII😂

[@KFXG]

@luciolynx5443 I was going solely based on the games specifically for each system and not paying any attention to backward compatibility, while also taking into account their controllers and any possible gimmicks that would hinder or enhance the overall playing experience. And, of course, I was looking at my personal experiences/enjoyment with each system and how many games on each system I still play to this day. While I love each of these systems, there are fewer Wii games that I still go back to than I do with GameCube. If you're only looking at the fact that the Wii is basically a GameCube 2 in that it can do everything the GameCube does on top of having it's own library of games, then, yes, it would be above the GameCube, but by simply looking at the exclusive aspects of each system (game libraries, controllers, etc), then the GameCube is better based on my experience.

[@stevearai3361]

As a younger millennial, putting the N64 that low is diabolical

[@g2a5b0e]

Love your videos in general, but I hate your methodology for this ranking. Your reasoning for putting the NES last is basically that it sucks in 2024. It's completely unfair to judge a 40-year old console by today's standards. A list like this should take into account the impact the console had at that time, not how it compares to newer consoles now. I could see if you positioned this list as a list of your favorite consoles from worst to best because that's obviously very subjective, but that's not how you stated it.

[@OnRollEdge]

The NES was incredible for its time yes. But when you’re doing a ranking for ALL-TIME, that means it needs to still hold up today, and the NES just doesn’t anymore. Its impact was undeniable, but ranked all-time? It just doesn’t compete

[@g2a5b0e]

@OnRollEdge No, I disagree for the clear reason I stated. If what you're saying made sense, then old systems would always be outclassed.

[@OnRollEdge]

@@g2a5b0e a lot of old systems do become outclassed because they don’t hold up. There are only 2 reasons a console doesn’t become outclassed: either nostalgia (NES/N64) or the fact that they’re actually still good today (GameCube)

[@chianteandersonbabii_love]

What is the Nintendo Wii u never heard of it

[@CyranoForever101]

Other way around. Judging something for its time is meaningless, because by that metric alone the NES is the arguable #1 pick for starting it all, and nobody should be putting the NES at #1 I play retro games all the time these days, and most of them hold up. The NES just doesn't

[@torkelsvenson6411]

4:22 Nah, it has aged way better overall

[@JM-pm1yb]

The worst Nintendo home consoles in my opinion are the Wii U followed by the Wii. Biggest reason is the fact that the games are mostly reliant on gimmicky controls and are usually difficult to port/re-release. The best to me is Switch, SNES, GameCube, NES, and N64 in that order

[@jamieellis1094]

I agree with the first part!

[@luciolynx5443]

I agree, trying to navigate with the WII remote/nunchuck on some games is so unorthodox and hard to get the hang of. Looks like I’m spasming when I’m playing sometimes 😂 Its too bad to because the WII has an incredible library.

There are LOADS more less popular games on the Super Nintendo that are some of the best games of all time. What a list… Examples: - Sunset Riders - UN Squadron - Axelay - Smash TV - Final Fight 1-3 And SO many more. Bottom theee for such a top tier system is wild. A lot of the games considered to be the best games of all time are on the SNES and this is what you do to it?

[@justbenelson]

Maybe I'm just too old school, but my absolute favorite Nintendo console is the SNES for it's vast library of killer games and beautiful sprite graphics. Speaking of sprites, I think sprite art is actually universally appreciated among gamers, and the 16-bit era is the pinnacle of it. My least favorite Nintendo console is the Wii. I didn't like the fact that Nintendo sacrificed power in favor of the sensor gaming gimmick. When I play, I would much rather sit down and move my fingers, not my entire body. Of course there are pro controllers, but I don't consider them the console's controllers - the ones that were bundled with the console are. Having said that, I hate the Wii controller...it was 3 steps backward, in my mind. Ick. Furthermore, the motion sensor was not yet refined, so it was glitchy. It was single handedly the console that made me lose interest in gaming. I'm 42, and I'll pick up a retro game and play for a couple of hours once in a great while, but all in all, I'm over gaming. I have continued to support Nintendo by buying a Switch for my kids. We own around 50 games for that console. That's a console I can get behind.

[@duff0120]

42 years🤟 u were literally the first nintendo generation. u were born in early 80s, and nes came out in mid 80s, snes in early 90s when u were 9,10,11,12 etc , teenager when n64 came out, young adult when gamecube came out in early 00s, Wii when u were done with collage and full time worker.. etc. Snes games will never age bad, Mario world and zelda link to the past looks still incredible after 30 years, and had so many good games.

[@TheButterfliesShallRiseAgain]

Here's my take. I'm not going to consider hacks and homebrews because that clearly favours modern consoles. I don't mind considering that, just won't do it for now. Also I'm considering the online functionalities they had before shutdown. #7 Wii U: I like the Wii U. If I considered mods it would be the best hands down. Library is definitely the weakest, lack of 3rd party means the best games were exclusives, and guess what? Almost all of them are somewhat on the Switch now. It had nice features, like Miiverse and videoconference, and also had backwards compatibility with the Wii. However, as the Switch proved, at the end of the day people want to play good games. The gamepad is also kinda awkward, with many buttons that you'll almost never use on most games. If only they had a better Virtual Console, I could place it a bit higher on the list. #6 Wii: Listen, the Wii was my childhood's console, I played thousands of hours on it, and still keep my old console warmed up. It's not a bad console, but maybe because I spent so much time on it its flaws become more apparent: first, the motion controls get really repetitive and boring over time, and lack of rechargeable batteries are really bad. You NEED to buy rechargeable AAs. The library has solid titles, but somewhat show the lack of experimentation we saw on the GC. Also they made almost all their titles to be more friendly to new audiences and multiplayer focused, which is not that good for someone like me whom was more of a lone type without siblings or friends. Lastly, the lack of hdmi is bad; I couldn't take it to a birthday party because the host didn't have a TV with AV support. Only better than the Wii U because of GC compatibility. #5 NES: Revolutionary console, saved the industry, yeah ik. But it really shows its age. Back then games were limited by hardware, so most developers decided to go for painfully difficult games, so you would spend weeks on a game that could be speedrun in 5 minutes. Nowadays most games feel like cheap difficulty design. Also, since those games were completely new, the foundations were still not set, so things like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy inventory management were kinda bad. So basically it didn't age that well. #4 Nintendo 64: another example of revolutionary console that lost some of its charm through age, albeit not quite like the NES. The Nintendo 64 has some of the best games of all time. However, some things on the console annoy me. Why so many peripherals? Controller Pack, Rumble Pack, Expansion Pack. I hate that, especially because on where I live these things are really expensive. Also, the controller is not that great, the analog can easily break, and the c buttons are not that confortable. Some games also have horrible camera. This is understandable, but just shows how far have we come. #3 Gamecube: I love the Gamecube. Melee, Baiten Kratos, TTYD, Mario Sunshine, Twilight Princess, Path of Radiance, etc. I love how Nintendo was more experimental and creative this time, since you couldn't just rely on 3D anymore. Also I really love the charm of the console, one of the best controllers ever, and small things like being able to connect Gameboy Advance and play with a second screen. To me it was a solid improvement from N64 just like the SNES was a improvement from the NES. #2 SNES: beast console. Everything about the SNES is so good. The library is legendary, especially for RPG lovers. Also you can play GameBoy games with the Super GameBoy which is pretty cool. #1 Switch: Idk if it deserves the number 1, but the Switch has a great design and I admire that. And the library is also massive. Even though 1st party cost a leg, at least you can buy cheap titles on the eshop, like Stardew Valley, Vampire Survivors etc. Also the Switch on this list is technically cheating because it's also portable lol. And a lot of old titles are on the Switch too, so that's a plus.

You play video games because of the games themselves and the functionality of the console; aka the experience. The Wii, for example, will never rank high to me because it was gimmicky and the motion controls were forced into so many of their 1st party games during this time period. Idc how well it sold, it’s not getting higher than a 4th maybe 5th place? And to say the gamecube ranks low because of its lifespan?… like dude what are you talking about?
