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

What the fuck? I doubt it was even planned for Wii U in the first place
I rest my case lol.
But seriously, yes plenty of games off the top of my head Yoshi's Crafted World were said to look really nice and great but then the numbers came in and things like "not even native res, unplayable!" cropped up.
Actually, one of the game's developers referenced the "Wii U version" when talking about Luigi's Mansion on Treehouse Live during this past E3. So it very likely was at least planned for the Wii U.
(Not that that changes anything, though.)
Pretty sure they confirmed it started as a Wii U game tho
Oh! I barely watched the Treehouse LM3 segment, I wanted to get into the game as blind as I could
First hours of play and I must say that, at an artistic level, this game is a masterpiece. The atmosphere is exquisite that revolves around a master use of lighting, where they have managed to preserve and deliver an excellent image quality.
The voice acting is one of the best works of Charles Martinet, the expressions are varied and give even more character and personality to Luigi and friends, specially, added to one of the things that best presumes the game: its animations.
Next Level Games has done a superb job in many aspects, but those well crafted animations give life to the characters and the world in general as few games do, literally, it seems that we are playing a Pixar movie.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of the best, if not the best, game in the Mario universe in a matter of presentation and should be a reference of how Nintendo should evolve their characters and worlds in this regard.

I came back to ARMS recently and realised how much I miss tailor made games for Switch - it still remains one of the most impressive looking games on the system for me.
Nothing wrong with those awesome ports but it's almost like Switch is -too- powerful since it's just a safer option to port rather than develop something new.

For the types of games Nintendo likes to make, you almost have to wonder if Switch 2 tech (Ampere based GPU?) will be basically be close to the roof of what Nintendo would want to do for a long time.
What case? I haven't praised it cause I haven't seen it in person, I just asked a serious question, if it's native in handheld mode or not.
I was using that quote in jest which is why I followed up with my serious post underneath :)
This is interestingly the area where I see the greatest need for improvement!
And by lighting I mean indirect lighting and indirect shadowing, not 'volumetric' lighting or how objects are shaded in direct light, nor the General colours of the game offers
At a glance, it looks like it, but there's reason to believe the game might be using some kind of temporal reconstruction based on the E3 demo (either that or some kind of odd AA implementation). Will need a more structured scientific analysis to tell for sure.
It definitely looks and runs better than MediEvil on PS4 which I also just bought.
This game is insane, this might be the best animated game I have ever played. Some of the animations are just crazy good!
I expected a video at the very leat Op...
Anyway, game looks great. Me and my GF are buying a Switch for Christmas. This game is on the top of our list.
Hopefully, after Breath of the Wild 2 (which looks identical to BOTW so far) they can remake Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask with this art style and graphical prowess?
Thanks. Since one of our local stores has his yearly or half a year "20% off of every toy or video game" in this exact week, I might bite the bullet and just spontaneously get it. I'm very interested in the whole technicality of the game.
I mean sure, but at the end of the day it is still a Switch game, so something had to give. Enhanced indirect lighting would have likely come at the cost of IQ/resolution, so I can't say I disagree with NLG's chosen compromise. It's nice seeing a game on Switch look this sharp whilst still managing to maintain a lighting and materials model that's closer to current gen standards than last.
For those wondering, here are screens with minimal brightness and with "normal" brightness.
Looks good ! I will definitely play it on lowest brightness setting I think

Was already expecting a lot because how good Dark Moon looked considering it was running on a dinky 3DS.
The visuals for 3 are amazing. The detail in every room, the art style; it's a joy to take everything in.

I played for about an hour and it looked good, but the switch has other good looking games too. Maybe it's the anti aliasing making things look more cohesive.
Just got the game. Wow, even after reading about the transition from cutscenes to gameplay I was caught off guard by the quality of graphics. I waited a good five seconds before I realized I was in game! The game is very charming and fun too. I hope we end up using these coins though lol cause I'm obsessed with collecting them.
It looks stunning in handheld. The only thing I think it needs is a touch of per object motion blur, maybe even full screen motion blur. The 30fps in this game looking a little too flickery for some reason.
In particular, the burst move (ZR+ZL) where it propels him up in the air is incredible. I found myself hitting it multiple times during elevator rides just admiring the fluid animation, would love to see a slowed down gif version to post on here.
Graphics and design go hand in hand, Luigis Mansion 3 certainly has impressive graphics for a handheld game
The exploration in this is great. It feels quite different from the first game, but that's okay. I like the more labyrinthine approach to level design in this, I really feel like I gotta look closely at the map to find every secret.
A greatly encoded video should do the trick, no? What would seeing it running on real hardware add?
The advanced lighting and amount of physics interactions is nuts, not to mention the great animations.
The one review I watched said not really, they had a ton at game end.
Had to postpone starting due to trick r treating, I really cant play without my kid. C'mon 3:30...
OP

There is always something more in having the game running in your own hardware, even when it is just to contemplate it. I watch a lot of gameplay videos on the internet, and the visual impact and perception always differs and it is never the same when you are actually playing the game in my opinion.
Anyway, just reached the medieval themed floor. It keeps getting better.
I just got to the part where you learn what to use then for, but I can totally believe that by endgame Luigi is as rich as Mario or Peach lol
Same. What's there works and is clean, but it's technically a simplistic implementation in my eyes, and you could easily see how it can be improved. Heck, I think even games like Alan Wake or Resident Evil have better flashlights in them, but to their credit what NLG has gone for at least seems to be impressing a lot of people.
There's actually nothing technically that impresses me with this game at all as an individual component, but at least they've ended with a nice, clean image.
The game is certainly fantastic from an art direction standpoint. Animations, environment design, and overall presentation are all top-notch. It's really amazing to see what devs can do on the switch for games like LM3 and Animal Crossing. Congrats to Next Level Games.
