I'm simply comparing looks, not style or genre.

And I'm not saying Switch is weaker than PS3/360, (Mario Odyssey looks better than anything on those systems) just that this one particular game, ARMS, looks very unimpressive graphically.

Arms looks much better than Super Mario Odyssey, but that's to be expected as it's an arena fighter and doesn't have huge open levels like Super Mario Odyssey. Still I have to cringe when I see flat textures of grass like in Halo 4, Gears of War 2 and yes, also Super Mario Odyssey. Not to mention all the jaggies that were visible in the city and the trailer only being 720p. The forest world in Super Mario Odyssey had very poor ground textures and the humans in the city level were also very basic.

The only negative I can see with Arms is that the cheering crowd in the background is poorly animated and in a lower framerate as well I think. Won't be noticable when you're fighting though.

ARMS looks poor across the board frankly; characters and stages lack detail, effects lack pop or flair, character designs are generic, not a single thing about it is impressive graphically. I'm actually surprised to see a first party Switch exclusive looking this bland, it's not even up to the standard of many of their Wii U games.
