Interplay is bringing Clayfighter to WiiWare and DSiWare and it's not just a straight port! It's going to be a little updated with improved graphics and revamped gameplay that will take advantage of the Wii and DS. The updated port is being worked on by StudioBlack Games' Eric Hart, who was the original programmer on Clayfighters for the Super Nintendo. Expect Clayfighter to hit the 'Wares Summer 2010.
Man, I remember I used to play Clayfighters religiously when I was younger. It's one of those games you always remember back fondly on. Then, when you're older, you play it again and wonder what the f**k was wrong with yourself for ever liking it so much.

I still have the game :), I loved the announcer's voice.

Or, you know, better graphic and gameplay seeing as how it's a fighter and waggle wouldn't work. Not one Wii fighter requires waggle -- Every one of them supports the GameCube/Classic controller.
Nintendo Power and other magasines use to have pictures of the model used for the animation and a lot of details were lost on the sprites of the actual game...
Because Clayfighter just isn't much "clay" if the fighters are in CG!
We normally have stories that go live throughout (our) night, but staff has been sick and/or traveling. We are sorry to disappoint you!
Also, regarding this story -- this game was not good in 1993, and I have doubts about what it'll be like now.
The ultimate claymation 2d fighter of all time. I seriously probably put about an ENITRE YEAR worth of my own youth into that game when I had it on SNES.
Living with that is not easy.
I think I may cover the theme song...
I won't be downloading this game.
Best game name ever. I played it. alot. I guess I'd give another go. It had better have Earthworm Jim...
Hmmm... If they can revamp the fighting engine and produce cleaner frames of claymation, this could be cool.
Wasn't Earthworm Jim a playable fighter in one of these?! For the N64, I believe?
