If you're talking about Mario Kart 8, then yes, it's annoying as hell. But probably due to hardware limitations, I don't want to believe they didn't realise how great it would have been to play two players on two screens.

Gotcha. Yea, Mario Kart 8 doesn't offer it. They would have had to reduced the frame rate, resolution, downgrade the visuals to support this feature. In a racing game, solid frame rate is more important that a feature like this.

 

Hyrule Warriors offers coop with one using the gamepad and one on TV, but there are some framerate issues and the resolution is dropped. It works and plays fine for coop. Most platformers offer the dual screen coop experience, since they are not quite as demanding in performance.

Gotta remember in split screen the game is being rendered 2-4 times. So like in Hyrule Warriors just for example the Wii U is rendering the the game twice so it takes a hit.
