Is Luigi´s Mansion 3 in the race for the best looking Switch game?

Yes. They have taken advantage of the small and claustrophobic scenarios in their favor, they do not have to deal with being working in a huge interconnected world.
It is announced for Switch, baseless speculations aside.
Not for me. I played it a month or so back, and the performance left a lot to be desired. Input lag was very noticeable and performance was definitely not a steady 30fps.
Mario Kart is still the best looking Switch game, and it's going to take a lot to dethrone it.

Is there real evidence for this? This is the first time that I read about mediocre performance for this game.
Based on the footage I've seen so far, it IS the best looking switch game as of yet in my humble opinion.
It's crazy how much better this looks visually than a game like Pokémon Sw/Sh for my tastes. I understand they are different types of games of course. Just a matter of preference.

The only evidence I have to give is my own personal experience. However I am typically fairly sensitive to these things. It was also just over a month ago so it may not be indicative of the final product.
The input lag was the most noticeable issue for me. It unfortunately didn't feel very good to control. I can't say how this compares to previous LM games since this was my first time playing one.
I'll never get this. Every surface was textured so flat and everything just looked very plain. 3D was terrific though!
It looks great, but it kind of cheats with that smooth Pixar-esque art style that Mario is known for where a lot of detailed textures aren't really required. I kind of think you won't get better looking than The Witcher 3 -- which looks a lot worse than other versions but still blows away the other games on the console imo.
I won't say it's the best looking just yet, I'll have to see it on the actual system first but it does look amazing. The art direction and animations are sublime.
The port of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter also looks pretty good I've heard!
Totally different artstyle though.

I disagree. The Witcher 3 being on the system in as good of a state as it is is a technical achievement but it's by no means among the better looking Switch games, at least from what I've seen so far. Games like Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe look much better, let alone Luigi's Mansion 3
What's your point exactly? It's hardly ever a point of contention in any review, even in RDR2 where the input lag is well over 10 frames.
Like I said in my last post all of these games in the Mario series get away with simpler geometry and graphics due to their art style. I agree it looks great but they aren't even attempting to strive for the complexity in detail that The Witcher 3 is.
Amazing how good it looks compared to the initial reveal. Of course people seem to be saying that about every new release for the Switch lately, most recently Astral Chain. Developers are just getting better and better at getting the most out of the system which is the natural progression for any console.
Yeah maybe objectively, but stuff like Odyssey/Luggis mansion looks amazing because it's designed for the system and its capablitiles.
DQ11 and the Witcher are technically impressive, but when the draw distance is absolutely horrendous (15 hours into DQ11 and it doesn't bother me but it's VERY noticeable) and texture/lighting cut back, it's not that good looking.
A more cartoony art-style doesn't mean that the graphics in those games aren't impressive, considering what the system is capable of. The textures and geometry are by no means lacking in those games. The Witcher 3 on Switch may be going for more realistic graphics but its visuals are also at a much lower resolution and the textures in a lot of areas are low quality, even when compared to just major Switch releases. Its impressive but a downgraded port will never look quite as good as a game made ground up for a system
