Interplay, the developer behind such games as Earthworm Jim and Run Like Hell, is currently gearing up for a Clayfighter remake.
The new claymation fighter is currently being developed by StuioBlack Games, a Phoenix based company founded in 2007 by Eric Hart, the same man who has also worked as a programmer on previous Clayfighter titles.
The new Clayfighter game is being developed for WiiWare and DSiWare, and is currently slated for a summer 2010 release.
I'm not a big Clayfighter fan, but for any...I'm happy for you
Wow that was completely unexpected. Of all the franchises to get the remake treatment... Interplay has 25 years of history to tap into and this is what they deem worth revisiting?!
The Clay Figher games are good for a laugh (though I preferred Ballz back in the day), but not much else. I couldn't see paying much for a remake.
Were there fans clamoring for this or something? What's next - Boogerman HD?
I am totally fine with a clayfighter remake. I have always loved playing as the Blob.
Earthworm jim I would rather a sequel then a remake. Earthworm Jim always looked great even by todays standards. I could live without boogerman. But think of how cool a Clayanimation game would look on todays consoles. It might actually look like clay come to life.
