As someone who is biased towards backwards compatibility, I can't help but put the first gen wii higher up on your list, respectively. The switch has its deserving credentials for it's position and the GameCube is a great console aside from it's tiny discs and low memory storage. I've never really played the older older consoles, but the SNES is very nostalgic and still a great system to this day. Just my $0.02. :)
Fully agree. If your criteria eliminates innovation then yeah, newer stuff will always win out. The SNES was a major breakthrough with an amazing catalogue. I Would go SNES/SFC, NES/FC, Wii, GC, N64 and leave out all mini replicas consoles. Virtual boy so bad it didn't even get mentioned. And yes I put Wii above GC because it was so disruptive. Sony and Microsoft competing for most powerful trying to appeal to hardcore gamers and Nintendo innovated instead by making a console anyone could play that was cheap.
@@cjlmd27 I've had a small experience with the virtual boy. It was actually kind of fun, but the overall execution was dismal at best. Ironically, we have vr decades after the virtual boys original flop, lol.
The N64 is an interesting one for me. The cartridges were a tried and true medium that loaded up more or less instantly, but the Playstations optical discs had larger capacity and were cheaper to make, which allowed them to offer free demos in magazines, which probably helped the new kid on the block gain foothold in the industry. Sony's original dualshock had a much better analog stick, although the disc-based system was a lot less reliable from my experience back in the day. The N64's graphics were superior to its rivals, and Nintendo basically popularised the idea of an analog stick, even though it did wear out very quickly, and the use of cartridges might have led to that dark time for Nintendo, even though they were more reliable. The Gamecube was an AMAZING console and the controller design was near perfection, but no console in the 6th generation stood a chance against the PS2 with its already huge fanbase and DVD playback, which I think popularised the DVD even though they'd been around for years. And the Xbox was winning many fans with its online shooting games. In fact I think a huge reason the PS2 and Xbox were so popular was because the PS1 popularised the idea that video games weren't just for kids, and those consoles continued on that. Nintendo basically did their own thing from that point on rather than try to compete with them, and I think that was the best decision they ever made.
Your video made me realize I could download Killer Instinct onto the SNES classic! My dad loves that game a lot, and told me while holding his Killer Instinct SNES cartridge “When you get me a device able to play this, you will prove that you are successful.” We already had a SNES classic lying around, so when I saw this, I quickly went online and found ways to download the ROM for it.
The Virtual Boy is sort of its own thing. It's equal parts console, handheld, and VR system, but I don't think it really fits very well into any of those categories.
I kinda dislike when they put "64" after N64 titles like that, because it looks as if it is the 64th entry in a series. Yeah sure, obviously that's an unrealistically big number of games in a series, but it still _"looks"_ like the name of a 64th title.
And the SNES even lower. He based the console's value versus consoles today instead of how amazing they had been in their own time. Kind of stupid for a comparison list. "The switch is the best because it is new" is not a great argument...
@@Tennhero Exactly, the Wii for its time was better as the Switch in its time now, Wii Shop had every Console game from NES - N64, it had motion controllers which was pretty cool considering it was released in 2006, the library of Wii games could rival the selection of Switch games now, backwards combatibility to the Game Cube games, you could even have NETFLIX on your Wii,too.
Would have loved to see the hand-held systems in here as well. expected the gba sp and new 3ds xl to rank pretty high around game cube and wii u in the listings.

@@RobertStaceyYT Indeed. Of course a newer console will have better specifications than a console from the 80's. I'm surprised SNES didn't enter the top 3 actually. It is such an amazing console.

Am I the only one who actually plays their Wii u more than switch? Not only does it have virtual console, but it also has free online. Plus, I can play all of my old Wii games like Mario Galaxy.
@ZacStrikesBack But it’s the best piece of oof you’ll ever find.... But really.... not innovative? The gamepad is a huge difference between the Wii and the Wii U, more of a difference than (at least) Sony’s made in the past few decades.
1. Switch - amazing game library, amazing console design, controller customisability 2. SNES - absolutely fantastic game library, timeless console 3. GameCube - great game library, controller, portability, last Nintendo console that had graphics comparable to other systems at the time 4. Wii - great game library, intrusive, WII SHOP CHANNEL, MII CHANNEL. 5. Wii U - great game library, first Nintendo console with HD
Nani??? GameCube should have done better than the Wiis that weren't GC Compatable! It was just wrong to place NES Classic over the N64 & GameCube. I can understand the SNES Classic placing over N64 though. Just watch as N64 Classic comes & places 2nd only to the Switch when released.
@@kylekondit9709 The Original Wii was GC Compatable, at least as long as the disc drive works. GameCube should have done better than the later Wii Models that weren't GC Compatible.
the order of all these rankings is just basically by release date. would have been cool to get more of a ranking about how each system placed during its particular moment in history, but it’s still cool to learn about all these different consoles
@@AlexTorres-wn5qg If you think this is a joke, watch him rank Sony Consoles and the PS1 being at the bottom and teh PS2 being slighty below middle. The PS1 was the best first console ever, slaying the mighty Nintendo by 3x. The PS2 is the best selling console of all time. Both are beaten by Vitas somehow.
I generally agree with your list and really appreciate the Wii U love because it's underrated as hell Not sure I'd have put the NES/SNES Classics above the Gamecube but otherwise...
Here's the list of the consoles you ranked in order: 18. Wii Mini 17. iQue player 16. Famicom Classic 15. Famicom (Family Computer) 14. NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) 13. NES Toploader/AV Famicom 12. Nintendo 64 11. New Style SNES/ Super Famicom Jr. 10. SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) 9. Super Famicom 8. Gamecube 7. NES Classic 6. SNES Classic 5. Super Famicom Classic 4. Wii RVL-101 3. Wii 2. Wii U 1. Switch
This would be fantastic, but the issue is the N64 architecture is very complex - so much so that its even difficult to emulate on modern systems. I believe Nintendo have considered doing an N64 Classic, but the supply chain and production costs would not create a high profit margin.
I dont thin it would fail, the current mini-consoles are doing great, but they are doing them in order the original ones released, so we would have to wait a little more for N64. but im sure it would come eventually tho prob. a little longer, since it was much much more powerful compared to the previous consoles. its in 3D afterall
“We’re only counting consoles and not arcade machine or hand helds” Me: see’s Nintendo Switch in the pile My mind: *takes the monkey puppet meme and change the monkey puppet with Nintendo Switch’s handheld mode*
Breakfast-Time Ginger I think Nathaniel meant to say that it wasn’t as powerful as the Xbox One and PS4. But yeah the Wii U is more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3
Just so you know, emulation isn’t piracy. The tiny discs I imagine were to make it so copying the games onto an illegal disc would be harder. That’s what piracy is to my knowledge anyway.
My top 5: 1. Nintendo Switch (I just love the ability to play beefy Nintendo games on the go) 2. GameCube (The console is small and easy to setup so several years before the Switch, I took my GameCube on holiday) 3. Wii (A huge library of great games, with the motion controls being a highlight of my childhood) 4. Wii U (Great games but... the console is so under-powered, it always crashes every time I play a high-powered game like Assassin's Creed) 5. Nintendo 64 (Great classics to mess around multiplayer with friends like Mario Kart 64 and Smash Bros.)
Nintendrew: Once it's been an hour playing the demos, they're gone for good. *Akira beats super mario 64 in 6 minutes and 44 seconds* iQue: Am I a joke to him?
It’s my favorite sixth generation console. I really like the library on the GameCube. The PS2 is better for playing movies and having more games on it.
The Wii and the Wii U are my favorite childhood consoles. They were so fun to play, that all of my family would play them when they came over. Occasionally, I would play Smash on the Wii U. So nostalgic.
Why would you be surprised that the Wii U is #2? It’s got great games, backwards compatibility with Wii games, and fun gimmicks with the Gamepad! Yes, it wasn’t as powerful as the PS4 and Xbox One, but it’s still a really great console, and was worth getting before the Switch existed.
Im pretty sure Gamecube is the Top nintendo console. - Was the beginning of a new era for Nintendo - Best quality Nintendo games ever made - Awesome console concept, the cube fact - Easy to carry from my home to a friends one when I was a kiddo - No more cartridges - The intro was emotional like starting the Ps1 - The controller is still one of the best ever made - Top accessories and adapters - Dad of nintendo wii So many memories....
What's wrong with cartridges? They are faster than discs. At least today. Also I think that the Nintendo Switch has the best Nintendo games overall but it's really opinion based
James Schafer You've obviously never owned or played on a gamecube, all those games you said were bad, are some of the highest rated games of all time.
8:33 The Japan famicom was also the European Snes. So the european snes will fit inside the satellaview but not work due to region locking. Just thought I'd share that.
I've had the Wii since the first release, and I've never noticed the flaps covering the GameCube things. That's crazy, I never knew it was backwards compatible lol
12:00 technically the RVL-101 *isnt* different hardware. it has a different disk drive, and it omits the gamecube ports, but there is still the EXI port, controller port 1, and controller port 4,(all be it the latter 2 only have the pads and passive components). its 100% possible to re-add the missing passive components and ports to re-gain this functionality
I think snes should have been number one. For the time, it was capable of all the things that sparked ideas for future consoles. Mode 7 and 3d with the fx chip... It was way ahead of it's time.
@@jack101starZ makes sence cuz nes games are only about 256 kilobytes so that's already 4096 games on only one gb, so a modern day 16 gb sd card that weirdly enough has 14 gb of storage, you could fit more than 64 thousend nes games on there Go for 32gb and you can fit 256K But the classic has 512mb and there are only about 750 nes games, so it could fit nearly all games twice
Same. I love my wii u, I still use it despite having a switch! The game pad is really durable aswell, mine bounced down a flight of wooden stairs and was left without a single mark 😬
I can never call the Wii u dead until these come to the switch: sm3Dw, pikmin 3/4, an update for Mario maker 2 including amiibo costumes, and definitely Nintendo land/Nintendo land 2
I had an original SNES when I was younger and they are so fun, you can SEND YOUR GAME INTO ORBIT with the eject button. I wish ours had lasted longer before it stopped working

seriously
True
@Sensei if you rank the consoles based off graphics like it seemed Nate just did then of course the newer consoles will be higher. Ranking these consoles correctly would be by how the systems faired and compared to others at the time. So by that one would see how the original NES was a game changer and if you know gaming history its because of the NES success America even has a gaming market today.

When i saw the reveal of the Switch, it really looked like Nintendo was making the Switch and just couldn't finish it in time so they made a halfway step to it with the Wii U.
the wii u truly WAS a full fledged new console, while the 2DS was just a modified version of the 3DS. it's a completely different situation.
*ranks WII U 2nd*
Everyone will remember that
Nice choice though.
Am I the only one who actually plays their Wii u more than switch? Not only does it have virtual console, but it also has free online. Plus, I can play all of my old Wii games like Mario Galaxy.
@@SpaceLobster21 Nope, I do too. But I play them both rarely still.
@ZacStrikesBack Wii U has a far larger game library. Unfortunately no GameCube games, but neither does the Switch.
@ZacStrikesBack But it’s the best piece of oof you’ll ever find....
But really.... not innovative? The gamepad is a huge difference between the Wii and the Wii U, more of a difference than (at least) Sony’s made in the past few decades.
@@SpaceLobster21 no ur not i love my wii u and im glad i asked for it for my birthday
Top 5:

You can play Wii games on the Wii U so its better and you can play gamecube games on the wii so the wii is better then the gamecube.
I dont understand why everyone loves the gamecube so much
1. Switch - amazing game library, amazing console design, controller customisability
2. SNES - absolutely fantastic game library, timeless console
3. GameCube - great game library, controller, portability, last Nintendo console that had graphics comparable to other systems at the time
4. Wii - great game library, intrusive, WII SHOP CHANNEL, MII CHANNEL.
5. Wii U - great game library, first Nintendo console with HD
lonradb agree with this except wii u, n64 is an easy replacement
lonradb The first game I ever played was Super Mario 64, for the Nintendo 64 of course. The 64 will never be forgotten by me
Basically every console had a great library.
The LegendaryGamer Whatever
Yeah and metal spring noises coming from joy cons on switch...
4:44 u don't actually have to push it down
The nes classic and snes classic over the game cube and n64?
Yep
Nani??? GameCube should have done better than the Wiis that weren't GC Compatable! It was just wrong to place NES Classic over the N64 & GameCube. I can understand the SNES Classic placing over N64 though. Just watch as N64 Classic comes & places 2nd only to the Switch when released.
Crriiiiiiimeeeeeee
@@WaterKirby1994 wait what? The wii was game cube comparable the original one was at least you just out it in the same disc drive in the middle
@@kylekondit9709 The Original Wii was GC Compatable, at least as long as the disc drive works. GameCube should have done better than the later Wii Models that weren't GC Compatible.
Can't forget the Wii U virtual console with nearly everything like DS/GBA and turbo grafix
I don’t care what you say! I have the best memory of Wii U from my childhood. I love that black boi.
Me too! #WiiU
I still play a Wii u
Or white boi
Hearing "Wii U" and "childhood" in one sentence is... weird
I’m a kid, give me a break, Mario maker was literally my life!
Im really curious what that Team Rocket Gameboy cartridge is
the order of all these rankings is just basically by release date. would have been cool to get more of a ranking about how each system placed during its particular moment in history, but it’s still cool to learn about all these different consoles
Yeah, I also think that this would have been the right way to do this ranking. Never found really good this kind of rank videos by NB.
This list is a joke
@@AlexTorres-wn5qg If you think this is a joke, watch him rank Sony Consoles and the PS1 being at the bottom and teh PS2 being slighty below middle. The PS1 was the best first console ever, slaying the mighty Nintendo by 3x. The PS2 is the best selling console of all time. Both are beaten by Vitas somehow.
13:12 i'm sorry, was that THE steve "the hair" harrington in a wii u ad?
Yup, it was! That ad came out in 2013/2014, so about two to three years before Stranger Things.

Yo
wii should be #2 and wii u should be #14
NEVER MIND
Don't spoil
Honestly, i feel like Nintendo should do an N64 Classic, it would probably fail horribly, but i would still like to see a mini version of the N64
This would be fantastic, but the issue is the N64 architecture is very complex - so much so that its even difficult to emulate on modern systems. I believe Nintendo have considered doing an N64 Classic, but the supply chain and production costs would not create a high profit margin.
I dont thin it would fail, the current mini-consoles are doing great, but they are doing them in order the original ones released, so we would have to wait a little more for N64. but im sure it would come eventually
tho prob. a little longer, since it was much much more powerful compared to the previous consoles. its in 3D afterall
Well, they did add an expansion pack for the nintendo online service that includes mainly N64 games.
They were emulated pretty badly though.
It's only a matter of time. Nintendo likes making money remember
why. Anyone can get an official N64 easily.
Gamecube: The disks are super tiny!

Edit: The wii u IS more powerful than the ps3 and XBOX 360. CoD Bo2 is a good side-by-side comparison to view this.
13:41
It was made after Xbox 360 and ps3 so ...its obvious
F. B. I if you went to the time stamp you would have heard him say that it wasnt as powerful as the xbox or playstation.
Wii U was between PS3 and PS4 soo.. not that good
Breakfast-Time Ginger I think Nathaniel meant to say that it wasn’t as powerful as the Xbox One and PS4. But yeah the Wii U is more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3
Loved your energy and this video. New subscriber.
The SNES is automatically the best Nintendo Console, since it allows you to play Mario Is Missing.
I will be honest, I have a soft spot for Mario is missing
Amen
So does the nes
You do have a point, we know that all games live in fear of Mario is Missing.
But does it have hotel mario?

Meh, not really. I feel like the game is supposed to be sort of funny because of the cutscenes, but it's still sad when someone dies.
@@nintengod6985 yah
To be fair, it was better on the DS anyway.
Nintendo: Uses tiny discs to avoid piracy
Dolphin Emulator: "I'm bouta make them look so fuckin dumb"
that made me laugh
Just so you know, emulation isn’t piracy. The tiny discs I imagine were to make it so copying the games onto an illegal disc would be harder. That’s what piracy is to my knowledge anyway.
Glad to see someone else who genuinely enjoys the Wii U
My top 5:
1. Nintendo Switch (I just love the ability to play beefy Nintendo games on the go)
2. GameCube (The console is small and easy to setup so several years before the Switch, I took my GameCube on holiday)
3. Wii (A huge library of great games, with the motion controls being a highlight of my childhood)
4. Wii U (Great games but... the console is so under-powered, it always crashes every time I play a high-powered game like Assassin's Creed)
5. Nintendo 64 (Great classics to mess around multiplayer with friends like Mario Kart 64 and Smash Bros.)
My top game libraries
1. Switch
2. Wii
3. N64
4. Snes
5. Gamecube
5. Wii U
6. Ds
7. Nes
*Cries in Nintendo DS*
I would also put the switch at number one,it's so great.
I feel like Wii U should be above the Wii. The Wii U is the Wii but more
Radicola but you have the Wii library on the Wii U. (I think)

I love the GameCube Literally one of the best consoles ever and I mean EVER 😂
The only better one is the wii since its basically just an advanced gamecube player with many more games.
It’s my favorite sixth generation console. I really like the library on the GameCube. The PS2 is better for playing movies and having more games on it.
True
SAVAGE90000640 Gaming n64 is the best

Everybody knows that the wii u was the first portable console
9:54 have you ever had your game boy player smash a piano on you?
The Wii and the Wii U are my favorite childhood consoles. They were so fun to play, that all of my family would play them when they came over. Occasionally, I would play Smash on the Wii U. So nostalgic.
Man, I miss playing video games with my whole family. We haven’t since the Wii.
Ikr it is super nostalgic.
Good old memories
Yeah!! Remember that Wii Fit game on the Wii with the candle and the jumpscare in it? I was like 4 years old and I remember I pooped my pants lol
wii U was in your childhood? were you born in 2010? i’m starting to feel the generation gap 😢
THE WII U FINALLY GETS SOME DECENT PRAISE! Thanks a lot for that, Nathaniel!
yes thx nathan
Nintendo Switch: yeah too bad you was a horrible home console but you are still amazing like me 😉
It was better than the original wii, Nintendo just dry humped it on the marketing of the system.
I not only used my Wii Ufor Wii U games, but also for Wii games! I really love the Wii U. Same goes for switch, 3ds, ds, Wii, and more!
Shining Silvally it’s a decent console, just kinda underwhelming and lacking. It also came at a bad time in Nintendo’s history
Surprised by #2.
Not surprised by #1.
Other way around for me
I was surprised for both.
It's obvious that the switch is the bes
Why would you be surprised that the Wii U is #2? It’s got great games, backwards compatibility with Wii games, and fun gimmicks with the Gamepad! Yes, it wasn’t as powerful as the PS4 and Xbox One, but it’s still a really great console, and was worth getting before the Switch existed.

Im pretty sure Gamecube is the Top nintendo console.
- Was the beginning of a new era for Nintendo
- Best quality Nintendo games ever made
- Awesome console concept, the cube fact
- Easy to carry from my home to a friends one when I was a kiddo
- No more cartridges
- The intro was emotional like starting the Ps1
- The controller is still one of the best ever made
- Top accessories and adapters
- Dad of nintendo wii
So many memories....
The wii is still better doe
What's wrong with cartridges? They are faster than discs. At least today.
Also I think that the Nintendo Switch has the best Nintendo games overall but it's really opinion based
But I think you are right in most aspects
James Schafer You've obviously never owned or played on a gamecube, all those games you said were bad, are some of the highest rated games of all time.

does anyone know what song at 14:00?
Dude your Nes Has a Soul lol …it tried to turn on wit no AC cord lmaooo 😂😂😂😂😂
12:00 technically the RVL-101 *isnt* different hardware. it has a different disk drive, and it omits the gamecube ports, but there is still the EXI port, controller port 1, and controller port 4,(all be it the latter 2 only have the pads and passive components). its 100% possible to re-add the missing passive components and ports to re-gain this functionality
I love how he put in a Shrek game in the Wii mini
Fits the quality of the system
Oh yeah Shrek deserves to be played on wii
the finest22 I laughed my butt off
Glad to know
And of every game put superman 64 in the n64
I think snes should have been number one. For the time, it was capable of all the things that sparked ideas for future consoles. Mode 7 and 3d with the fx chip... It was way ahead of it's time.
I think he was ranking the consoles objectively and subjectively without nostalgia
Fun fact: the NES Classic has enough storage to mod your console to carry every single NES game ever released.
No way.
@@jack101starZ makes sence cuz nes games are only about 256 kilobytes so that's already 4096 games on only one gb, so a modern day 16 gb sd card that weirdly enough has 14 gb of storage, you could fit more than 64 thousend nes games on there
Go for 32gb and you can fit 256K
But the classic has 512mb and there are only about 750 nes games, so it could fit nearly all games twice
@@thepandamc4093 that is insane. Goes to show that you don’t need a ton of data to make excellent games.
You can hack the SNES Classic Edition too
It’s weird, everyone I’ve ever met has always loved the Wii U, including me. Never saw/heard any hate until I came across UA-cam reviews lol
Same. I love my wii u, I still use it despite having a switch! The game pad is really durable aswell, mine bounced down a flight of wooden stairs and was left without a single mark 😬
It was a good honestly but the marketing for it was it's down fall
