I don't care much for Resolution but this is a question I'm really curious about.

Everything Splatoon 2 has shown us has been suprising me. New Zombie-like mode. Impoved graphics. New weapons. New Specials and ect. The one thing that stands out is the resolution. Trailer had 720p, Global testfire 720p and everything is 720p. There's been articles based on the resolution, youtube comments about gamers being dissapointed about the resolution. And also me. I'm curious. Why is Splatoon 2 720p?

Mario Kart 8 Switch Port is full HD, Fast racing RMX is full HD, Lego City undercover is full HD. But why not Splatoon 2?  Splatoon doesn't seem like a graphical demanding game at all. I'm pretty sure if a Mario Kart 8 port can make an full HD port, Splatoon 2 can reach full HD too. I know Splatoon 2 isn't a port but Mario Kart 8 literally PUSHED Wii U's hardware over the max PLUS adding more content.

This doesn't affect me much. But It's dissapointing. I have a 4K gaming monitor. So 1080p games upscale PERFECTLY on it. 720p games just makes it blurry for me. If I'm going to be playing a brand new Splatoon game for the next few years, I'd LOVE if it ran 1080p to take advantage of the 4K upscaling.
