Clay Fighter heads Virtual Console update
Mould but still lots of fun.
Quirky fighting game Clay Fighter heads the Virtual Console update today.
Interplay launched the title 14 years ago on SNES and wowed fans with fancy stop-animated graphics and plenty of humour. Clay Fighter went on to spawn numerous sequels, but none surpassed the original. You can take a trip down memory lane for 800 Wii Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8).
Today's other game is Sonic Chaos, which appeared back on the Master System and so costs 500 Wii Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5). This was the first Sonic game to feature Tails as a playable character. Whoops!
And that's your lot - unless you fancy one of the other 274 games on the Virtual Console. Even Secret of Mana is there.

Erm... you could play as Tails in Sonic 2 on the Megadrive. I guess you could say it was the first time you could play as Tails in 8-bit. And what's with the Tails hate anyway? It's only when the entire series went to shit that Tails became annyoing.

Which is quite some achievement because the original was terrible.

I don't even think Nintendo know what's going up next.
Rumour has it, Reggie stands on top of his stairs, and gushies all the SNES carts down them. Whichever lands furthest away goes up.

The pun is on the word 'mould'. It sounds like 'old'.
So 'Old but still fun', 'Mould but still Fun', Mould = you mould stuff out of clay.
Gettit?

If you google for it several lesser game sites suggest that is has been released by just describing the orginal game and saying "virtual console release date TBC"
I've not downloaded anything since R-Type Dec 07
