	Not really.  The Nintendo uses, so I'm told, a 65816, as does
	a IIGS.  The Nintendo also has dedicated video hardware for
	animation and such.  Given the right cartridge, and using the
	interface port on the underside, you could probably come up
	with a pretty decent system.  I don't know if you'd get anything
	better than 320x200 out of it, though.
