**The results**

The Digital Foundry team has confirmed that the game is 1080p when the Nintendo Switch is docked and 648p when the game is played in handheld mode. Thankfully the game runs at a buttery smooth 60fps and features improved lighting and sharper textures.

So yes we are more then hyped for this re-release to say the very least!
