Day 1. Hoping it is the same game on S2 and just runs better like ps4 to ps5 games. I don't want to buy two copies.

Looks like this is targeting 720p 60fps on  Switch, given the released screenshots. 

>1080p 60fps definitely a possibility for a  Switch 2 version, given that.

I wonder if they might even have some sort of ray-tracing implementation for a Switch 2 version. Could make the game look amazing lighting-wise.

I don't think they'll go for a 120fps performance mode because of the way these old engines tie physics and animations with framerate. Makes too much work for QA to sort out bugs. 

 

Completely agree.  It could easily go from 720p to 1440p fairly easily.  I just Nintendo plays nicely and doesn't sell the games separately when it could easily scale.  

I don't see 120 fps being in scope.  120 fps rips some memory bandwidth, so does resolution.  So I think with the S2 they will have choose one or the other.
