Hmmm, this is interesting... I haven't ready all 8 pages of posts, but Nintendo's YouTube channel generally posts games' trailers in their native resolutions. In the case of DKC:TF, you can select 1080p, while with Mario Kart 8, you can only select up to 720p...

If the OP source is true, then my bet is that DKC:TF was downscaled recently leading up to its release, as they may have decided to add certain effects, level elements, or other factors that resulted in them feeling a drop in resolution would maintain a solid 60 fps like SM3DW achieved.

P.S. I've noticed SM3DW is an exception to the rule, having it's E3 trailer start out at 720p, but later posting videos in 1080p without an increase of the game's native resolution to 1080p.
