Doubt that, its only available on the Nintendo online store in Japan. At the moment its very similar to what they were doing with selling standalone Wii U gamepads.

If this had a worldwide retail release than maybe you eould be onto something.

That's why I added "But we're not there yet since you still need a dock" ;)

 

If this gets a WW release with an adapter, you can expect lots of "handheld mode only" games, because the handheld only SKU will most likely outsell the full one. 

I don't see that happening in large scale unless they change the system so it can no longer be docked at all.
