Today in Joystiq: April 5, 2007
All this talk of The Neverhood coming back into the limelight had us thinking of other clay-riffic games of lore. Like Clay Fighter 63 1/3. Oh, the comical, not-so-classical fighting games. Thank lampbane for the trip down memory lane; check out the highlights for today:

Original clayfighter (for genesis) ftw

I guess I missed something somewhere. What's this about The Neverhood coming back to the limelight? that game was a blast and I'd love to see something with that same artistic twist.

upon further review, I may be blind.

Man, I loved Clay Fighter. The original ruled, back when Bad Mr. Frosty was actually evil, and Blue Suede Goo was awesome.
63 1/3, though, was disappointing on so many levels. I don't like to think it ever existed.

Don't forget Platypus, the claymation side-scrolling shooter.

Clay Fighter was the shit.
Seriously, one of the best fighting games evar.
And the only thing about 63 1/3 that was good was the instant death combo's. For some reason my friend was insanely good at doing those with the pumpkin headed guy.
