The Wii U may be dead but the golden age of Wii U emulation lives on<\/a>. One enterprising Nintendo fan took the already beautiful Mario Kart 8<\/i> and used the Cemu emulator to push its resolution all the way up to 8K. There are 8K monitors and TVs out there, but they’re damn expensive. <\/p>\n

To make this pretty version of Mario Kart playable, YouTube User Will<\/a> supersampled the 8K to 4K, a process where the computer renders the game at 8K resolution then shrinks that image to the smaller resolution so it’ll fit on the screen.<\/p>\n

The results are beautiful but require an expensive PC to run. This user’s running Cemu 1.9.0c on a GTX 1080 Ti<\/a> (around $700) and a Pentium i7-6700K<\/a> (around $300). Thanks to computing power like that, Mario Kart 8<\/i> runs like a dream at 8K with no visible stutters or dropped frames.<\/p>\n

“It’s all about the CPU,” the creator said in a Reddit thread<\/a> about the video. With a high end CPU, they claims he can even run local multiplayer with two people at 4K and never lose a frame.<\/p>\n

They should have picked Toad for the video though.<\/p>\n
