Mermaid Craze

Mermaids have always been well-known in traditional tales and folklore, but they didn’t make the jump to video games until 1991. Capcom developed the video game adaptation of “The Little Mermaid”, which was released that year. This title became the first major mermaid game.

Two years earlier, “The Little Mermaid” movie was released to an explosive audience response. The release of the movie kicked off a mermaid craze that has survived through to now. This is because the movie introduced one of the most iconic mermaids in pop culture, Ariel, to a wider audience. Children and adults alike delighted in the story of the mermaid finding not only love, but also finding herself.

Capcom translated the story of the movie directly into video game form. This original “Little Mermaid” title tasks players with completing stages and defeating Ursula, the evil sea witch. The game includes six different stages, with some taking place on land and others deep underwater. As one of the first in the genre of mermaid games, it was a huge success and spawned several sequels years later. These sequels are 1992’s “Ariel the Little Mermaid” and 2000’s “The Little Mermaid II”. While these would be the foundation of the mermaid games genre, they were nowhere near the last to be developed.
