Nope.  The NES only has composite out, so there's no way to hook it to an
ARGB monitor like the GS's.  An old Commie 1084S from an Amiga makes an
excellent gaming monitor though - it takes composite, split composite, S-Video,
analog and digital RGB, and has stereo sound besides.  Many game developers
actually use 1084S's as the reference monitor for development.
