Watch out for Nintendo Switch clones

[Æon]

In an article "Want A Switch This Christmas? Let's Hope You Don't End Up With One Of These Clones", Nintendo Life shows off a number of portable devices that are curiously similar to the Nintendo Switch.

The Switch is likely to be one of Christmas 2021's most desirable items, which means we could see it selling out everywhere – despite the fact that it's approaching its fifth birthday.

When there's high demand for something, it usually means that other companies try to cash in, and that's certainly true in the burgeoning Chinese-made gaming handheld sector. We've covered these emulation systems a few times on Nintendo Life, with products like the Anbernic R351V and Retroid Pocket 2 providing to be solid (and cheap) means of playing ROMs, but companies in the Far East seem to have struck upon an ingenious way of making their devices even more appealing to potential (and perhaps unsuspecting) customers: they're making them look like the Switch.
