Best systems for retrogaming

A flagship phone with bluetooth controller
 
Obviously desktop PC beats everything in all regards besides portability, a Steamdeck is linux so it's fine as compatibility goes but you are limited to its screen, which not that great latency-wise (No VRR). Also that thing is huge, It's hardly a portable for me.
The killer feature for Wii compared to more modern alternatives imo is being able to run SNES games at native 224p on a CRT. I don't know of another more practical way to achieve this that doesn't come with a lot of money or hassle involved.
CRTemudriver on your pc. a Radeon card is 20 bucks at most, way better than a Wii
 
PC and PSVita
I have to say my experience with PSvita has been weak, one of the more unstable versions of RetroArch I had to enjoy and wipe several times over because it gets itself into a crash loop at launch for no real good reason.

For me, best overall retro gaming emulator system has been a modded Switch. Powerful enough to run MGBA, more modern SNES9x builds, even PS1 and N64 games, though not exactly perfectly, just can do it all, and has tons of compatible controllers from 8bitdo.

Wii U is being slept on. While currently getting a retroarch experience going for it is harsh, and some of it's official emulators have harsh downsides especially N64 comes to mind, it still does tons of systems and games in one neat menu. Too bad retroarch last I checked ain't still updated for aroma setups since it is slightly better system than PS3 when it comes to RA capability.
