Well this wasn't built on Switch as the lead platform, in spite of that it looks fine on Switch. Its not like they're using the exact same visual assets from 3DS either. So upgrades visuals along with the polish makes it a nice looking game.

Look at it this way, nobody is arguing Uncharted Collection and Halo:MCC are the best looking 8th gen games. But the overall polish and 60 fps is pretty signficant versus their original 7th gen releases.

Another example, I'm playing Yakuza 0 and its evident PS3 was the lead platform. Yet it still looks great thanks to higher quality textures, AA, 1080p, and 60 fps. Its a very sharp presentation.

I understand the why of why it looks so dated, it's a port from a vastly weaker system. But that doesn't give it a free pass in my book. They shouldn't have even made this frankly, they should have either ported Monster Hunter World or made a ground-up Switch Monster Hunter instead.

Your opinion only holds water if top notch graphics are crucial. But this actually looks fine.

Another example... RE Revelations looks fine on consoles even though it was built for 3DS. More importantly, it was a really good game.
