Do the graphics look ugly? No, I think they do a good job immersing you in the game's atmosphere. The problem appears when I look at Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade Chronicles X or even Wind Waker HD. I feel like Nintendo/Platinum could have done something better than this and I feel a bit disappointed for that. But it was their decision to go for a two screen gameplay and sacrifice visuals in order to acomplish their "dream" of making you feel that you're flying an Arwing. That was their goal, that is what they are selling to people. They are not selling amazing graphics. They're selling a new experience. It's up to each one of us to decide if that experience is worth it or not, but I think it's silly to critizise the game's graphics so much for not being something that it was never meant to be.
