The external screen embedded in the controller will allow certain games to support a 3D view, or an aerial bird's eye perspective. So far, the screen resolution rumor for the tablet remote is 480p.

3. Simple titles may have a different resolution. According to the thread, some simpler titles running on less complex engines may sport a higher resolution quality. Family titles, with Mii-based characters, may run in 1080p instead of 720p.

4. The development kit is always changing. As of now, the development kit involved in the creating the console are referred to as V4. These kits affect a variety of features, including the display. The V4 is a little less powerful than the V5, but not enough to push the games from 720p to 1080p.
