So? BoTW looks beautiful too.

Does it? Does it really?

BoTW looks decent, but it looks like it could easily run on a PS4.

Kingdom Hearts 3, as it is shown now, doesnt look like it could run on a Switch.

To get this running on a Switch there would need to be massive downgrades in graphics.

There is no doubt that the Playstation 4 could obliterate Breath of the Wild. Same goes for the Xbox One.

Kingdom Hearts 3... Bake the Shadowing and Lighting, decrease texture resolution (Switch users shouldn't notice it to much with that terrible screen.),720P... And ditch the Anti-Aliasing... And then I think the Switch has a chance.

The Switch needs to have more detailes baked, which takes development time, but is easier on the hardware. Worlds tend to look static and bland because of it though.

Thankfully the texture style here wouldn't look terrible in lower resolutions.  Lots of smoother and uniform surfaces.  As for the lighting, well does Kingdom Hearts have a dynamic day night system?  Like actual passage of time?  If not, you could easily go the Xenoblade Chronicles X route and have shadows that never move and none wouls be the wiser.  And even if the day night cycle exists, wouldn't be the worst thing.  There's lots of ways to approach the optimization, with various pros and cons.  If SE does it, it will be interesting to look at what decisions they make.
