Why would you want a really tall screen?
Another Code doesn't do that, though. The top screen displays 2D renderings.
It would drain too much of the resources to show display 3D on both screens. Say, if in Mario 64 it had the same things on both screen, the 3D world, essentially the part of the system that renders 3D would have to render everything TWICE which would bog everything down and make the game unplayable.
