It really is a nice looking game and one of the best examples of UE4 on Switch.
Not every day we see a Nintendo game with anti-aliasing these days either, usually they are weirdly allergic to it.

As cool as it is to see what Nintendo can do with Unreal, the nerd in me hopes they don't ditch their in-house engine(s) as in this age of nearly everything being Unreal, it's kinda cool to see what can be done with proprietary tech.

Thats a matter of tastes.... I guess.
I think theres alot of games that look visually more impressive than Pikmin 4, on the switch.

Super Mario Odyssey, Paper Mario The Origami King, Dragon Quest XI S, Final Fantasy 12 - The Zodiac Age, Octopath Traveler 1+2, Persona 5 Royal , Mario + Rabbids games,... ect ect.

It comes down to art style, and preferances I think.
But pikmin, while looking good compaired to older pikmin games, just doesnt wow me at all.
I think unless your a fan of pikmin games, these improvements to graphics are just going to brush off most people.

I mean, to each their own, but isn't Final Fantasy 12 on Switch a touched up PS2 game?

I'm not a Pikmin fan personally (RTS just isn't my cup of tea) but what they've accomplished here graphically is still something I can appreciate.

Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age is a remaster. It also came to PC and PS4/XOne.
