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. 

So, you really think they went through the trouble to make a single device to play the same games at home as on the go, only to turn around and go back to developing home console and portable games separately again?
