If you can find otherwise I'd be happy to be proven wrong! The 720p thing is what I find on a google search about it though, with an interview with a Nintendo rep. 

Hm, I really thought there was an article that showed us that Lineup games would run 1080... maybe not. :/

You might be thinking of the news that Batman: AC and Assassin's Creed 3 will run in native 1080p, which was confirmed by a Nintendo rep.

Unfortunately, Nintendo's 1st party launch window lineup are native 720p, which is really disappointing to me; primarily because they should be setting an example for other companies.  They'll still look good, but there's little reason that at least Nintendoland and Mario shouldn't be native 1080p.

They're probably aiming for a crisp 60fps vs eye candy, this is Nintendo after all. They will probably have full 1080p games somewhere down the line. 

I'm sure that's the case, and they'll still look great in 720p.  It just kinda irks me that a game with relatively "simple" graphics like NSMBU isn't taking advantage of the fact that it could easily run in native 1080p, considering it's one of Nintendo's flagship titles.

If we were talking about a graphically intensive 8th gen Metroid Prime, then it would be a trade-off - and a very wise one - to sacrifice 1080p resolution for a solid 60fps.
