Is this what Super Mario 64 will look like on the Nintendo Switch Pro?

With so many rumours flying around about the Nintendo Switch Pro, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the console doesn't officially exist (yet). From 4K resolution to a larger display, the new machine sound pretty awesome. And we've just been given a glimpse of what older Nintendo games might look like on the souped-up Switch. 

A new mod for the PC port of Super Mario 64 adds ray tracing to the visuals, and it looks incredible. If you need enlightening, ray tracing is technique for creating much more advanced and realistic lighting by simulating the way it bounces off objects. (Can't wait for the Switch Pro? Check out these brilliant Nintendo Switch deals.)
