Battling virtua(lly) in 1993’s Virtua Fighter. 2D visuals reached a new peak in the 16-bit era of video games before being surpassed and, for a time, seemingly rendered obsolete by advancements in computing power. id Software’s Wolfenstein 3D (1992), SEGA’s Virtua Fighter (1993), and Namco’s Ridge Racer (1993) all set the tone for this next phase of graphical design as their contemporaries were perfecting highly detailed 2D sprites. This visual palette changed with the rise of advanced processing in arcade and PC software during the early 1990s. Who needs color when you’ve got 3D? Not fans of Battlezone (1980)! Credit: MobyGames
True textured polygons were rarely possible in the 1980s, so the aforementioned Battlezone utilized wireframe art while Pole Position and others tricked the player into perceiving 2D space as 3D through the use of scaling sprites. 3D had been possible for years – 1980’s Battlezone, 1981’s 3D Monster Maze, and 1982’s Pole Position are early pioneers – but 3D games had tended to suffer from either poor performance or limited scope. By the mid-1990s, though, the medium was moving beyond two-dimensional experiences. Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka had been collaborating on Nintendo’s Mario series since 1985’s Super Mario Bros. The soundtracks have been generously compiled and made available online by YouTubers GilvaSunner and DeoxysPrime. One final note – I’ve set up the soundtrack links to open in new windows so you can listen to each game’s soundtrack while you read about it if you desire. Please check these resources out if you like the article and want to learn more! Most are linked below where appropriate, but I would like to draw particular attention to the Mario Wiki, Nintendo’s illuminating Iwata Asks series of interviews, and Commonwealth Realm’s Nintendo History series of videos. This article would not be possible without a few key sources.
Where two dates are indicated, the first is Japan and the second is North America. Note that much of Nintendo’s background history is skipped here as it’s present in the Donkey Kong (Classic) article. Please consider supporting that website, as its volunteers tirelessly catalog key information and art assets for an often ephemeral medium. Cover art, unless otherwise noted, is from MobyGames.
