ClayFighter (Sega Megadrive)

ClayFighter

ClayFighter is a 2D fighting game in which the characters, as the name suggests, are made completely out of clay. This allows for interesting moves and stylized graphics.

The zany roster of fighters includes: Bad Mr. Frosty, a snowman; Taffy, a piece of stretchable candy; Blob, a character who can morph into different shapes; Blue Suede Goo, an Elvis knock-off; Ickybod Clay, a pumpkin-headed ghost; Helga, an opera singer; and Bonker, the crazed clown. Each character also has their own level and individual taunts.

Status: Announced by Interplay

An attempt to make some money off of the then popular 1-on-1 fighter (With games such as Street Fighter II), although it never really became as popular as its peers.

Believe it or not, I couldn't find a good gameplay video (Of the MD version), so you'll have to do with the commercial until I make one :p

I think you'll be searching for a long time to find a good gameplay video for this game Drake....

If it's one on one fighters you want, stick to the classics people.

I'm dissapointed that this is going to be the Genesis version (or Mega Drive) especially due to the fact that there is a tournament edition that is improved on the SNES alone. I wonder if Interplay will pull a Capcom (releasing the best verision last for the extra buck) approach and not release it till later. Honestly I'll be waiting for the better version.

Sure it wasn't as polished as some of the more prominent brands, but it was mildly amusing. I like that in my games.

But as Dude said, there are better versions of it. I'll be waiting for one of the later ones. Preferably from SNES or N64, as I cannot stand the Genesis sound chip.

I agree with Luigidude. The Genesis version is really good, but the SNES tournament edition is much better. If you have never played Clayfighter and like Street fighter, you owe it to yourself to give this game a try. Its has wacky characters and a good sense of humor. I always liked Bad MR. Frosty and the Elvis guy. The taffy character was always the best to play with.

Now this game was 600 Finnish marks (about 100 euros) wasted as I played it exactly once back in the day - it was that bad...

i remember playing both snes and genesis/md versions back in the day. the snes one looked and sounded a ton better. that's why it's soooo strange that the md one is being brought to vc. anyone have any idea why that is? and what about some other interplay games?

Blackthorne (programmed by Blizzard of World of Warcraft fame) was published by Interplay. I wonder who owns the right to that? It was released for snes and 32X (attachment for the MD)

It seems like Interplay is only releasing MD/Gensis titles...

I want Clay Fighter for my Virtual Console i never owned it but i rented it a lot back in the day.I never played the Sega Genesis Version so were there any other differences between the Snes Version which i rented the most til Clay Fighter 63 and 1/3 and the Genesis version? If the only Difference is the Sound then i will be getting my first Sega VC Game.because i am ready for a new VC Game even if it means that i wait until after May.just to get this game.

I love this game but as far as I'm concerned it was a Super Nintendo game. the Sega version always looked fake.. Listen up Interplay, The Lost Vikings is a SNES game also!
