In some instances, sprites will appear in 3d games such as fog or explosions. However, it does not mean sprites always appears in 2d games. Sprites can be an object that appears in the screen. So what are sprites? Sprites are 2 dimensional images that could be 1 by 1 pixel or it could be as big as a single bitmap image that contain multiple images. In reality, sprites have evolve more than background art or 2d characters. Today, people have a hard time finding sprites in 3d games, but if people knew that sprites are found in explosions or in fog, they will argue that it is not sprites. For example, shovel knight is a game that has sprites for the main character and background art and it was made 2014. So is learning to draw or build sprites in games is dead? NO! Even today's games have some sprites elements and not necessarily look like games made in the 80’s.
Nevertheless, today we have games that rely on 3d wire models and there are very few games that require sprites. Another game in for the NES was Little Samson that had gorgeous graphics that had huge enemies: a giant detailed crab that Samson had to fight. For example, the NES game Mega Man has a character that opens his mouth when he jumps.
When Nintendo introduce NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) in 1983, many video programmers had to find ways to animate an object in the screen with sprites.
