Eurogamer confirms: Mario Kart 8 is 1080p/60FPS (even in 2-player)

[supernihilist]

it will be 720p. Nintendo made Smash 1080p because its a static game and it uses Wii Brawl engine.
MK8 uses a new engine which allows for greater effects but in no way we will see such detailed and full of Fx visuals in 1080p 60fps
