Here Is Super Mario Galaxy 2 Running At 4K With 60FPS Thanks To Dolphin DX12

Dolphin has been recently updated with DX12 support, meaning that it now offers better performance in a variety of games. And today, YouTube's 'SHD' shared a video, showing Super Mario Galaxy 2 running at 4K and with 60fps on an i7 5820k (overclocked to 4.2ghz) with an NVIDIA GTX980Ti.

Thank god for passionate gamers like this that are doing what Nintendo should be doing.

Nivekki2988d ago

Nintendo should be making games on their console run at 4K?

Hoffmann2988d ago

Nah, Nintendo should have released a console in 2012 that was not again looking like a generation behind.

And can display wii games with a much higher resolution.

And has many gamecube and wii games in the e-shop instead of gba games.

higgins782988d ago

What!? Nintendo created SMG 1 & 2, arguably the finest games of all time - Gamerankinga agrees. Dolphin has - roughly 6 years later - offered a way of running it inconsistently IF you own a fairly expensive gaming PC. Well done Dolphin?

Hoffmann2988d ago

Dolphin does what Nintendont.

higgins782988d ago

OR, Dolphin stands on the shoulders of Nintendo and offers something completely unnecessary - proclaims itself big. I don't know how many fps SMG 1 & 2 ran at launch, but having owned (and completed) both I can testify but looked and ran flawlessly. Also, a Wii cost roughly £150 at launch, to get SMG2 running at this spec today requires a serious rig.

Hoffmann2988d ago

True true :-)

And still, seeing those Gamecube and Wii games with such graphics is a blast. I don't even have a 4K Screen but Smash Bros Melee and Brawl looked already awesome with half of that resolution

higgins782988d ago

Catch up Dolphin. Nintendo now runs SM3DW at 720p and 60fps - without a single frame dropped - on a sub £200 console. Over to you...

Lon3wolf2988d ago

But it doesn't do it emulating a whole different OS/Architecture, that is what makes Dolphin impressive. The graphics in Galaxy were great but ruined by the 480 resolution.

higgins782988d ago

@Hoffmann "a generation behind"? The Wii U runs games at 720p/1080p and 60fps on half a dozen AAA titles. Now, tell me what either PS4 and/or XB1 is doing above this to show me the leap in generations...

microgenius2988d ago (Edited 2988d ago )

@higgins78
Oh God whats the connection between resolution/frame rate and generation????????
Gran turismo 5 was 1080 on ps3 i guess it is on the same level with Drive club because they are both 1080.. oh wait GT is 60 frames so its a generation above Drive club
just go watch Until dawn or ryse or every other AAA on PS4/X1 and compare them to the LAST GEN looking WIIU games maybe you realize what the generation leap is

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Knightofelemia1139d ago

I know it's not a Wii title but it can be played on the Wii I want the Metroid Prime games on the Switch I have never played them.

darthv721139d ago

I wouldnt mind seeing a conduit compilation on the switch.

Yi-Long1139d ago

Would like to see MadWorld getting a proper new release.

Switch needs less ports and more original games.

DefaultComment1185d ago

what it needs is not your opinion that's for sure.

northpaws1185d ago

Omg, you are so witty, somehow can provides even less value than my comment. I don't know about you, but I prefer Pikmin 4 over Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 9 over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, BotW2 over BotW Wii U port, a new Donkey Kong instead of Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze from Wii U...

But I guess I am just being weird here, who the fuck would want a new entry. /S

Neonridr1185d ago

Red Steel 1 & 2 Remastered Collection please. I adored the 2nd title.

Cuzizkool1185d ago (Edited 1185d ago )

I don’t think it would be so bad to turn Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort into a continuing franchise. The Wii isn’t around anymore, but we still get New “Super” Mario Bros, which the original “super” was based on the Super Nintendo console. Nintendo tried switching it up (heh) with 1-2 Switch, but that wasn’t nearly as big a hit. I think if they did an HD remaster of Wii Sports, or a new entry in the “series”, it would have immediate name recognition and would pull in some casuals, as well as some who want to get that sweet sweet nostalgia.

iplay1up21185d ago

I did not like Skyward Sword. I played till the bird part, and just couldn't do it anymore. It felt like a chore playing it. Also, I am a Zelda fan, and this is the only Zelda game I didn't like.
