When The Wonderful 101: Remastered is played in handheld mode its at 720p and has slightly better performance than even docked mode, which is usual. 

Digital Foundry findings

  • Switch (docked): 1080p and runs between 30-40ish fps
  • Switch (undocked): 720p with similar and slightly better performance than docked mode in some cases
  • PS4/PS4 Pro: Both run at 1080p and while base sometimes runs in the 50s, Pro sticks to a locked 60 fps most of the time
  • PC: 4k and Ultrawide support. No mention of problems the PC version currently has, hopefully they work on that later
