Most Overrated Nintendo Consoles

The Top Ten
1 Nintendo Switch

Can't really agree or disagree here honestly, Most games are Ported games sold at full price at 59.99 when you could get the original versions for 10-20$ depending if you want it new or pre owned, for example Donkey kong, Lego City, Resident evil, Captain Toad, and Skyrim, etc, there isn't really much in the nintendo library I mean breath of the wild was meant for The Wii U, you got kirby star allies, and Mario odyssey and a bland mario tennis game and upcoming smash bros, And the 3rd Party games, Don't get me started, There's no Assassin's Creed or Call of duty despite those being launch titles on The Wii U, I mean what else 3rd party is there other than Sonic? , you got the "Free" games like Fortnite and Warframe (Like if anyone remembers warframe now) Half of the 3rd party games we have are either free games or Ports to games you can real cheap on The PS3/PS4/Xbox 360 or Xbox One pre owned, we want far cry 5 and the new assassin's creed game!. Not 3rd party ports that everyone has ...more

I agree 100%. For a system that's charging their using to play online, it's an absolute joke. No dedicated voice-chat/party-chat (without that stupid app), friend-codes, and locking backup saves behind a paywall is laughable. If Microsoft or Sony pulled this off, they would be heavily criticized and laughed at. But Nintendo somehow gets an exemption.

No call of duty, assassin creed, need for speed, mario and sonic at the olympic games, new donkey kong country, new mario kart, and ported resident evil games only, that sucks so far.

Even to this day Nintendo 64 gets so much praise when the Nintendo Switch is waay better, the joy-cons are unique and the whole concept that you can play it anywhere AND on a T.V. is super revolutionary!

2 Nintendo Wii

Terrible library but a few really good games.

It deserves its praise.

3 Nintendo 64

Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 are nothing against Super Mario Odyssey/Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe/Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled.

It's overrated as HECK! I liked it, but the games haven't aged well (though there's still charm in them) and the controller was terrible.

Honestly, this is the overall worst mainstream Nintendo console besides the original NES and Game Boy

Honestly this console was not THAT great and it's mainly liked for nostalgia.

4 Nintendo 3DS

Just a ds with a joystick, slightly more power, a crappy line-up of games that has like 3 decent games, and to top it all off there's a 3d gimmick that makes your eyes hurt

It's great but the new games are getting worse

Getting worse.

5 Nintendo DSi
6 Nintendo Wii U

Hated but still overrated because most of the Nintendo fans think it's "underrated and great" even if it's one of the worst Nintendo consoles ever.

The Nintendo Wii U is considered the most underrated console of all time.

Nah, I own one, and I can say that I had lots of fun on this console. It doesn't deserve the hate

7 Nintendo Entertainment System

This console is so overrated. I get that some people grew up with certain consoles in certain times but the hardware isn't even that good.

Yeah. The controller suck.

8 Nintendo 2DS

Only popular for being really cheap and being 80 dollars like that's the price of 2 3ds games, 2 3ds games or a 3ds you can't have 3D

This is hated by many, but it still sucks. You can't close the screen so you'll definitely break it.

Like the Virtual Boy and Wii Mini, this isn't overrated since not many people like the 2DS.

Waste of time and money why buy this when you could just simply turn off the 3d switch on the 3DS

9 Super Nintendo Entertainment System

This system doesn"t have hotel mario, or sonic. the controller sucks and the console looks dumb. super mario world is only decent and most of the games except zombie ate my neighbors is bad compared to the atari 7800. Entertainment more like Amatuer!

Come on... this is seen by many as the best console of all time, but does it really hold up to todays standards? The wiiu and switch are much better overall, and the games are far less limited.

I absolutely hate this console

10 GameCube

It is in my opinion, it was good but nothing revolutionary, yet all over the internet people defend this and say how original it is.

This isn't even nintendo

The Contenders
11 Nintendo Wii Mini

Well there was no clear point of this console's release in the first place. I'm frankly sick of seeing all these 'overrated' lists polluting TheTopTens.

I never heard of this before. Surely that screams overrated! /sarcasm

Well No One Likes This Poop

I haven't ever heard of it.

12 Nintendo Game Boy Advance

Mother 3 and Metroid Fusion, enough said

It's fine. I like Leaf Green

Good But Overrated

13 Nintendo Game & Watch

This is bad once you learn that mattel made the first handheld.

I Believe This Is Where People Take Nostalgia Too Far

14 Nintendo Gameboy
15 Nintendo Virtual Boy

Better question is why are VR's making a come back for? To remind use of the awful train wreck that was this pile of crap.

Overrated Cause It Sucks, LOL
