Just in case you were wondering, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze doesn’t run naturally at 1080p. Nintendo has clarified that the game is native 720p (at 60 frames per second by the way), though is upscaled to the higher resolution.
GameXplain relayed the news via Twitter:
Also, we clarified with Nintendo that Tropical Freeze is native 720p (@ 60fps), upscaled to 1080p.
