Don't forget the Wii U has emulators for the following Nintendo platforms: NES, SNES, N64, GB(C), GC, GBA, WII, DS. And of course runs Wii U games.

No, that's an overpriced clunky plastic Chinese Intel Atom handheld, will be underpowered compared to the Switch even in the worst case scenario AND costs more than the Switch. You're not getting the form factor nor the games.
The Smach Z is a much better candidate, with 1080p, modular but already powerful hardware (you can run Fallout 4 720p with config tweaking at 30+ FPS, GTA V and other titles with similar performance) and 10x times more powerful than the shitty Bay Trail in the GPD Win. And not to mention it's the same price as the GPD Win.
If you want to emulate console exclusives from last generation on the go along with AAA titles and the freedom of Windows, then you'll get the Smach Z. If you want the exclusives, form factor and the price tag which is and will become even more so cheaper.
That isnt full speed... there are stutters and tiny slow downs.

Its like 20,000 pesos = $950 us dollars.
It can play gamecube games via dolphin emulator.
And really old PC games.
Its crazy overpriced for its hardware, the only plus to it is the size.
Id much rather get a switch than this.

Googled it.
First post I found by someone commenting on it said : 6-8hours of normal windows use, and about 2hours of light gameing.
Its crazy expensive for what it is imo.
However if you wanted, you could buy a external battery pack to carry with you and prolong that abit.

Ya I'd rather get the Switch, or even like a PS4 Pro, or Scorpio or PC or TV....pretty much anything instead of buying that xD

WTF! It's $350 here, which is a pretty fair price, IMO. If it runs all the latest indie games I might just consider getting one for the form factor.

I'm not saying this is a bad device or anything but calling it the real competitor to Switch is really stretching it. In the last 30 years there have been countless portable gaming devices thst have tried to compete with Nintendo and all but one has failed to become relevant.
Atari Lynx, Sega Game Gear, Sega Nomad, TurboExpress, Game.com, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, WonderSwan, WonderSwan Color, Cybiko, WonderSwan Crystal, GP32, N-Gage, Tapwave Zodiac, Gizmondo, XGP, Dingoo, GameGadget, Neo Geo X, Nvidia Shield, Playstation Vita, etc.
Playstation Portable is the only one to ever have a sizeable userbase and market share.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
Looks like a cool device, was looking at an older product by GPD for emulation purposes, but I have some emulators on my Vita now.
