Yes. In this case N refers to any integer larger than 2. For every value of n there is a polygon that corresponds. As n becomes very large the polygon is almost indistinguishable from a circle, but it is only approaching a circle.
Examples
If n = 3. Triangle
If n = 8. Octogon
If n = 100. Hectogon
For large values of n the polygons don't have names.

Names for an n sided shape is?
A shape in 2D with n sides is called an n-gon. In higher dimensions, a shape with n sides is called an n-sided polyhedron.
What shape has the most obtuse angle?
A regular polygon of n sides (where n > 4) has n obtuse angles. Since there is no limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have, there can be no limit to the number of obtuse angles in a shape.
What is a solid shape with at least three sides shaped like a triangle?
A n-gonal pyramid will have n triangles and one polygon with n sides (n>=3). The simplest of these is the tetrahedron (a triangular pyramid).
What is the most edges you can get on a shape and it is 2D?
There is no maximum. For any integer n, there is a regular polygon (a 2-d shape) with n sides. And there are non-regular polygons as well.
How do you tell how many degrees in a shape?
180 * (n - 2) degrees; Where n is the number of sides. (n must be greater than or equal to 3 because a polygon must have at least 3 sides)
