Yeap. Same way you can use dvd's as shurikens. And comdons as ballons. Have fun.
Oh, so it's not a gaming tablet, it's an underpowered home console. That's much better.
Well if you want to put it that way. The start of the trailer shows it as a home console then being turned into a portable, vice versa.

*looks at it again....*
Looks like a freaking tablet, runs on mobile SoC, has a display like a tablet.
How is it not a tablet? It's a handheld that you can plug into a tv. It's like a PS Vita and PS TV in one...
Nintendo's neither confirming nor denying that this has a touch screen. Regardless, there's no reason to think that the Nintendo Switch isn't just a glorified Nvidia Shield hardware-wise.
I thought I read somewhere that it's 2x as powerful as the Wii U. Even if it is a tablet, that doesn't make it any less impressive, at least compared to Nintendo's stuff. Comparing it to the Xbox One or PS4 is unfair since those consoles target hardcore gamers.
um, a shield tablet that plays legit nintendo games sounds like nerdgasm to me
It's as much a tablet as a 3ds is a dual-screen tablet. Yes, similar enough to make a semblance of a case, but similar form factor does not equate to the same functionality or appropriate usage.
I own a shield tablet. It's what I'm typing this on. It rocks. So much more powerful than any other tablet I own or have repaired. It's what I do for a living. It plays emulators better than just about anything else I own except for my gaming rig. Emulates everything from the ds and psp back. If Sony or Nintendo made the emulator then it would even be able to play newer games. I know that a lot of people are worried that it won't be that powerful, but I am not worried at all. The shield is only 32 bit and it is very powerful. When nvidia first came out with this tablet they basically said that they were just trying to show off what they could do. Then they rumored that they were going to make another one that would be 64 bit. I was really excited. Then they said that they were no longer going to make the 64 bit version. This was around the same time that we started to hear about the NX. So it's obvious now that NVidia was courting Nintendo and trying to show them what they could do. Nintendo prolly said that there was no need to make the 2nd version of the tablet. I'm not trying to convince anyone else how awesome a 64 bit NVidia / Nintendo tablet game system will be. Personally I cannot wait. Oh, and of course it will have a touch screen. It would make no sense to drop that feature after having it on every hand held since the ds.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
