It looks exactly the same. But the problem a lot of people will run into in stating this is that the same is true for a whole lot of online multiplayer shooters today... I still have problems telling various Call of Duty games apart, both in single player and multiplayer.

I don't think the average Splatoon fan is overly concerned with graphics quality either, so it won't be a lost selling point at any rate.

You're missing the point. People are disappointed Splatoon 2 looks virtually the same (graphics and resolution) because the Switch is more powerful than Wii U.

Several of the CoD games since Advanced Warfare basically look the same, but there was a huge presentation boost over last gen. While Splatoon 2 is seeing little improvments on new hardware.

Frankly, this looks like a Wii U game and people want more than that on the new hardware. Zelda atleast gave a higher resolution and people seem content with that.

Then again, for people who spent more than a decade repeating that graphics don't matter, it would seem a little strange to pick now to start caring. I don't think it's a huge issue as long as there are innovations and changes to the gameplay.
