What was said about ZombiU
ZombiU splits attention between the Gamepad backpack and the TV. The player searches the backpack on the Gamepad while glancing at the TV to watch for zombies. The two screens carry different information, so the player must choose which one to look at.
Game Maker's Toolkit names it among the best single-player Wii U uses of two screens, next to Affordable Space Adventures, where power is rerouted on the Gamepad while the ship moves on the TV. Star Fox Zero rarely does this. Quote: "offer different perspectives or different information on the two screens, and you have to choose which one to look at".
