It's the by far the best looking Nintendo game from an art and animation stand point. It's also amazing they managed to do so while getting soooo many interactive physics based elements in there.

Luigi´s Mansion 3 is the most graphically/technically advanced Nintendo release ever

That slam animation's cycle sticks out like a sore thumb. I can't help but notice it when seeing footage.
Yeah this is something that pops into my head from time to time, BotW is, IMO, an incredible game visually... and it's basically a Wii U game.
End of life Switch games are gonna be wild, and as others have pointed out, because Nintendo typically goes after a more cartoony aesthetic than photo real, their graphics can look crazy good on "underpowered" hardware. I'm still amazed at what Mario Galaxy looks like, especially when run in HD on an emulator. That's a Wii game!! Wtf!? An HD port of Skyward Sword would probably look like a living painting with the way they did the background effects and blur to make it look like watercolor... again, on the Wii!
I was gonna wait a bit to get Luigi's Mansion but I'm a major sucker for quality animation and the impressions on LM3 are pretty glowing... I might have to bite the bullet and get it sooner than I planned.
I agree it looks awesome, especially in handheld on the Switch smaller display, but i'm about to finish the game and i gotta say that the last levels are not as detailed as the initial ones, not that they don't look good, but compared to the first scenes and the Hotel Lobby i can see how they where made with less time available
30fps invalidates the statement, IMO.
Super Mario Odyssey will reign forever and ever thanks to that.

Odyssey isn't even the best-looking 60 FPS Nintendo game of 2017. Too much aliasing, and added pixelation undocked.
Nice. I've grabbed my copy, and played it a bit. It's definitely a looker on the Switch.
But is certainly the most beautiful, detailed and well animated one.
Aliasing aside which I'll gladly take over 30fps anyway.
Not only that people tend to focus only on the visuals and then looking at other games and thinking why doesn't Zelda look this good as a example, must be lazy or no optimization.
When in fact it's because Luigi Mansion 3 looks good is because it has such a narrow view. It has very little to render as it's just a Camera view pointing at a small section. While Open world games tend to need many more resources (CPU for constantly streaming assets/terrain), and needing camera control to quickly turn around and see many things that load or unload really fast.
Game looks good no doubt, just don't think that all games even open world games will suddenly get the same visual jump. Ofcourse things will get better with constant work, but not everything is apples to apples.
It shouldn't be a surprise but I would say that we didn't see the same growth throughout the lifetime of Wii,3DS and Wii U.
The 3DS especially had its most impressive game in 2012.
These games are always super impressive visually to me. I remember being blown away by the first game at the time. I also thought Luigi's Mansion 2 looked absolutely incredible for a 3DS game. Luigi's Mansion 3 lives up to its predecessors and is definitely the most visually impressive game on the system so far (Link's Awakening would be right there with it if it weren't for the framerate issues).
Nintendo/Next Level have done a great job using the series' format to consistently deliver fantastic visuals.
And goddamn LM3 has so much charm and character. Great character designs, incredible animations and I love Charles Martinet's delivery so much.

...are you talking about Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, or Resident Evil Revelations?
Watching cutscenes i keep thinking if it's prerendered CGI, but then i remember Nintendo rarely (if ever) does them.
This wasn't really on my radar but when I've wrapped up both Baldurs Gate games, expansions and The Witcher 3, I'll probably pick it up.
Revelations. I think there other games that you could say were in the same ballpark afterwards but nothing I would say definitely looked better.
Either way, I think everyone can agree that Capcom probably knew how to optimize 3DS even better than Nintendo themselves.
Yeah, the graphics are simply amazing. Just like with the previous entries, Nintendo keeps this franchise to be very graphically impressive.
I hear that. Have you tried setting RGB on the Switch to limited? Some other good tips here:
Started playing it today. It's very fun. Visually, I wouldn't say the graphics themselves are amazing (especially the day time scenes at the beginning - you could tell the kind of lighting the developers focused on was under dim/dark which is the majority of the game). The graphics are good enough though. But it's the animations and level of detail that is great to watch.
Played it a bit and it looks great. Unfortunately, I have encountered fps drops in docked mode. The animations are just gorgous to watch and really make this game shine. I would say overall it is fun - the controls could be improved though. I find it kind of hard to aim at the ghosts from time to time.
It was the same for me, until I bought the original Mcable gaming from Marseille.
Now imagine what Retro is gong to pull off with Metroid Prime 4.
And also imagine what a freakin' Punch-Out!! game from Next Level would look like on Switch!!!!

Yeah its a fantastic looking game and with the mclassic smoothing out the jaggies it looks extra nice.
I'll try the RGB thing. Also heard it works in favor for HDR on PS4. Don't want to mess to much with my TV setting just to get the Switch to look a bit nicer. Resolution seems to be the biggest problem.
Andre from GameXplain said he almost prefers playing co-op than by himself in this game. I guess that's how good co-op is.
I've never seen a game from a western developer with this insane attention to details sense GTAV.
Wait. You can't invert the Y-axis? Tell me that isn't real? I inverted the Y-axis in Starfox(snes) and never looked back.
Yeah. I'll have to get through the game before I'll make that claim. Astral Chain is, in my opinion, the best looking game on Switch for now.
