Luigi's Mansion 3 is Digital Foundry's pick as Switch's most technically impressive game


As the Switch generation nears its end, Digital Foundry assesses some of its most impressive visual moments.

We're not going to be covering every first party game here and it's a personal selection from John Linneman and Oliver Mackenzie, but in each case we genuinely feel that Nintendo or its development partners have delivered experiences that far exceed expectations. This is an interesting title to include in our line-up, because Tears of the Kingdom's technological credentials should be lauded - but we don't actually believe that this game is upping the ante visually that much over The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We'd venture to suggest that the relatively static camera angles give the developer leeway to carefully budget any given scene, but even so, the fact is we're looking at visuals and effects that are rarely seen on Switch, looking great and running smoothly at a pretty consistent 30 frames per second.
