Previously, if you played Shovel Knight on the Nintendo Switch, the resolution was outputted at 720p. This is the same resolution that is rendered in the undocked mode, which was a mistake. Of course, the fine folks over at Yacht Club Games noticed this and corrected this in Update 3.0A for Shovel Knight.
Among other changes in today's 3.0A update on Switch:
