Interplay Is Remolding ClayFighter On PC In 2016
Interplay has announced plans to revive its 16-bit fighting game series, ClayFighter. The title first arrived on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in late 1993 before coming to the Sega Genesis.
You can play ClayFighter on the Wii Virtual Console now, if you are feeling nostalgic. Or, you can wait until 2016 when Interplay releases a remastered version on PC.
The developer is planning for 20 characters, 20 stages, no gameplay mechanics, and yes, Claytalities. No images or video is available yet. For those that missed the 16-bit era, here’s what you can look forward to (courtesy of the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers):

Our Take
With Mortal Kombat X amping up the gore, a ClayFighter revival seems fighting. Unfortunately, Interplay is limiting the title to PC (at least for now). Hopefully it will be worthy of attention (and perhaps a console port).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
