HOLD IT! Smash Bros. is 1080P? AND 60 FPS?

The screenshots have always been 1080p, indicating that this was the case, but still it's weird; they have targeted 720p in almost every other first party title, why shoot for 1080p with Smash?

Maybe this is a transition period for first party games to now strive for 1080p?

I doubt it, as someone pointed before, to achieve 1080/60 fps, you have to sacrifice visual fidelity. Smash Bros is a fighting game, those are as demanding as an open world Zelda Game. 

While it could be possible, since Nintendo Graphical direction helps to achieve such benchmark.

It's always nicer to see a 720p/60fps polished game, than a 1080p/30fps lacking some polishing.

The Mario model in MK8 and 3D World, is far more impressive than in Smash...

Pretty much this.

I'm confident future first party games like Xenoblade Chronicles X, Captain Toad, Yoshi's Woolly World, Zelda U, etc will target 720p for the sake of greater detail elsewhere, just like 3D World and Mario Kart 8 did, and I'm happy with that.
