Yes, I already said that. What about the fact that Mario Kart 8 has to process two player inputs and generate two different gameplay situations at the same time while Star Fox only generates one scenario shared between both screns? I mean, I don't know if that's really a big deal in terms of CPU/GPU charge (I don't know anything about technical matters), but if you add only one more player to MK8 splitscreen it drops to 30FPS instead of 60. So, I inevitably feel that even if Star Fox has some pixels going on, it also has less CPU/GPU charge than Mario Kart 8 two player split-screen in some aspects. And I'm not even talking about online, because I don't know if that consumes more processing power.

All things considered, I don't understand why Star Fox Zero looks like a Wii game in HD with pretty water. I'm not even asking for something like Mario Kart 8 but at least something worthy of the past 7th gen.

2 sets of player inputs isn't a big processing hit to a modern console.
It's still just one gameplay scenario in MK8, just with two participants.
