Mario + Rabbids is one gorgeous game! Let's share our screenshots

I'd say Rayman Legends has stronger art direction than most Nintendo platformers in recent years (aside from maybe Tropical Freeze, Woolly World and the 3DS Kirby games), and it runs at 60 fps.
Ubisoft has VERY talented artists. I think people forget this sometimes because their biggest games tend to look realistic, but give them something cartoony and they'll blow minds.

Yeah, I think the fact odyssey goes for more 'realistic' environments doesn't do it any favours in showing the limitations of the hardware.

Why wouldn't you give them credit? They deserve it. Even Miyamoto was impressed when he saw their Mario model. Ubi has some of the best best art direction and animations in the industry.
Especially when it comes to animations. They're up there with Naughty Dog and Rockstar.

Stunning screenshots, OP. This is how I'd imagine a 3D Yoshi platformer would look like.

The most annoying part to me is the aliasing. It was really distracting in the trailers. I wanted that problem to go away this gen.
Which one, the enemy with the boob-cannons? Does Fire Emblem have boob-cannon baddies?

Graphics are great, but I wish their jumpers were more denim looking...

Digital Foundry should do an article on this, best looking Switch game by FAR
They're Valkyries, and I really don't think they're referencing Marth or anyone else from Fire Emblem.

This game has made me laugh way more than I thought it ever would. The writing is pretty good and the little cutscenes with the Rabbids are hilarious.
This is right up with Zelda in terms enjoyment for me. If lending IP gets us more content like Kingdom Battle, I'm all for it.

This game has a "toys come to life" premise (similar to Smash), hence the shiny plasticine look to the character's clothing.
The game begins with Mario merchandise being sucked into a time machine along with a headset that merges items together. Thus, the Rabbids (and various mundane everyday objects including toilets) are sucked into the Mushroom Kingdom and merged with the Mario universe.
It's a fun setup that could be used for sequels, as well!
First thought in my head for a sequel is Mario + Zelda + Rabbids. Mostly because I just realize there's usually Zelda easter eggs in the Mario universe that those Rabbids might shove in their washing machine. That and the idea of playing as a Rabbid Link makes me smile.
Mario + Rabbids 2: Hyrule Kingdom Battle :-D
Now I want to see a Rabbid Ganon / Rabbidorf!
You should go back and look at those other games. They feel a lot more abstract and empty compared to Kingdom Battle, with 3D World and 3D Land taking place on levels floating in an abyss.
What's wonderful about this game is how thoroughly cohesive and layered and detailed everything is. The worlds are like enormously intricate dioramas where there are eye-catching things everywhere. The world feels fully realized; it feels complete.
Also, the lighting and other effects are just gorgeous, especially in motion. Beautiful game, and deeply immersive.
Ubisoft hyped him up before release with his very own trailer, and he sure delivered — The Phantom [of the Bwahpera]!
Videogames need more fully voiced opera scenes.

One touch I like is how the large colored blocks you see in the background have this textured finish you can only see when the light hits them at the right angle. Many props have solid primary colors and simple shapes but are subtly detailed when examined up close. The use of materials is great in this game.

I think it would be impossible for a fan of Mario games to see this topic and not buy the game. The screens look amazing.

RIP my phones data limits :'(. Came into read about game, didn't realise a little way down the page was a screen explosion. I need more data.
As to this being a good looking game... It's all right, bit there's a lot of visible shortcuts being taken, occasional low res effects and frame drops. Plus an annoyingly locked camera which doesn't let you appreciate much. It's just okay to me.

"let's share our screenshots" is not where you go to "read about a game" not expecting lots of images. you should have gone into the OT.

I really appreciate the variety of locales in each world. Though the worlds each have a general theme, you travel through various sub-themes that keep the levels visually interesting throughout.
