This is really cool! I would have killed for one of these when the DS was current. At first I was thinking that two monitors makes sense but seemed very unwieldy, but then I saw the ability to put both screens on the same display. Some DS games would connect the two screens as one big vertical display and a developer would need the ability to view that easily. The two TVs arranged vertically doesn't seem practical enough for Nintendo to expect people to do that.
Of course what would be cool would be to be able to switch between screens on the fly. Sometimes you would want to see both screens at once, sometimes just the "main" screen for the action and sometimes the other screen for stats and items and such. You could switch to whatever screen is most important to you at the time. But I'm thinking from the perspective of a consumer device specifically to play DS games on a TV. The intended purpose of this device wouldn't need that functionality. Now this is making me wish the Wii U had a 3DS player. Top screen on TV, touchscreen on Gamepad - DONE. Oh well.
And yes you should play Ghost Trick on it. Or just play Ghost Trick period. That's probably one of my top three DS games. The video was well done as well. I saw it had a 20 minutes length and I was worried it would have pacing issues but it was thorough and interesting all throughout. For me it whizzed by before I knew it.
