and the tv turn off when we lost a life while the tv screen is broken when we lost all life and continues?,sound good too but i think the static is fine too because if the tv turn off or break we cannot see the others character hub portraits when we lost,a part for two player can be a little fun like the tv screens are connected to the others like if amy and blaze are online during the gameplay for example and if we playing alone,the other tv screen are turned off.
that's remind me about the characters portraits from the dialogues,yeah,static like that too,good thinking Konpon.
edit
mmmhhh... probably a cable cord connected with these two monitors for player 1 and player 2 hubs for example.
