There are videogame sagas that were forged in 2D, with gameplay mechanics that worked perfectly in two dimensions and with a memorable pixel art that still remains in our memories. But as technology advanced to 3D environments, gamers craved more immersive experiences and many older video game franchises found it necessary to be updated to the new graphical standards.

Some video game icons made the transition from 2D to 3D fantastically well, as is the case of Mario or Zelda, but it is also true that other franchises were not as successful. In this video we go through the history of video games in search of the worst jumps to 3D, with games unworthy of the saga to which they belong and that serve as an example of how NOT to do things.

In this video you will find:

• An educational game curation showing major failures in important video game sagas
• A careful selection of disastrous 3D moments to emphasize the argument of the video
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.

Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.

I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.

Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
