Street Fighter. If you cross your eyes a little, and look BEYOND the pixels in this video, you’ll be able to catch an epic battle between Blanka and either Ken/Ryu?!? HauteArt? Or simplistic rendering? You decide. After the break.

This year we commissioned design collective the Alaskan Military School to produce an animation package to communicate the ethos of the event. We recently launched a series of viral spots that are the first part of this collection of new work.

They each take one of our favourite games at GameCity HQ and translate them into a 15 pixel grid. It’s Hyper pixel minimalism! We realised that you can communicate the essence of great, iconic games with minimal visual information. I think this approach echoes the values of the festival, to take a sideways look at games, and foster a creative space.
