I never would have guessed that this would be a game that pushed the Wii U to its limits.

I figured that this would be a fairly demanding game just because of the second screen.

If you consider performance strictly from a pixel-pushing point of view:

Star Fox Zero

(854x480) + (1280 x 720) = 1,331,520  Total pixels per frame

For comparison, a 900p game would have:

(1600 x 900) = 1,440,000 Total pixels per frame.

We have to remember that the Wii U is a full generation behind the XOne and PS4 in power and so getting anything close to 900p to run on its hardware would require huge sacrifices.  I am personally impressed that Platinum managed to get the graphics to look as good as they do in Star Fox Zero. 

go lie somewhere else.
