It’s no secret that Nintendo’s games feature visuals with an incredible art style, and such high resolutions do benefit these games. So yeah, kudos to the team behind CEMU.Īnd to be honest, these really high resolutions make Nintendo’s games look gorgeous. Naturally, there is a performance difference (and in some cases this difference is huge) between a proper PC game and an emulated game.

The fact that Mario Kart 8 is running via an emulator at these ridiculously high resolutions is also impressive. As such, we are looking at a resolution that is 36 times higher than the resolution for WiiU, and 16 times higher than the one for Nintendo Switch. To put things into perspective, Mario Kart 8 runs at 720p on WiiU and at 1080p on Nintendo’s latest console, the Switch. Will used an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti in order to run this WiiU game in 8K (via supersampling techniques) and from the looks of it the game runs smoothly in such high resolutions. Meanwhile, you can learn about all the new features debuting today with this overview.YouTube’s member ‘Will’ has shared a video, showing Mario Kart 8 running in 8K on the latest version of the best WiiU emulator, CEMU 1.9.0c. Here on Gamereactor we've already downloaded and installed MK8 DLC Pack 2, and will review the content this very week. Keep in mind it firstly downloads 4.0 update patch and then the new content. The combined download weighs about 1.4GB, while the specific new content alone is 972MB (European version). And as online mode is live, there are some players competing in the new 8 circuits already. This means you can purchase and/or download 2 new Cups and some new vehicles and characters, and as a free download you can also try the new, much faster and difficult 200cc class, among other new features. The launch day was today and, even if we were expecting the download to be ready later in the afternoon, we can now confirm it's available now on a Wii U near you.īesides, the server maintenance downtime announced yesterday took less time than expected, and therefore online races are back as well. After the great quality and value of its first add-on content pack, it was only natural that fans of Mario Kart 8 were eager to get their hands behind the wheel of the second DLC, entitled Animal Crossing X Mario Kart.
