Anybody here ever play ClayFighter 63 1/3 for the Nintendo 64? I just picked it up from EB Games, and I've been playing it recently. Earthworm Jim and Boogerman both starred as guest fighters in the game (So THAT'S where Namco got their SC2 idea!!), and lots of the cast from the first SNES ClayFighter returned for another asswhuppin'.
The game is like the movies Spaceballs and UHF in which it is a comedic parody of another property. In this case, it isn't Star Wars or Indiana Jones. It's a parody of Street Fighter in the fact that Earthworm Jim has a Seiryuken (which is reffered to as a "Sodryuken"--dirt gag) and newcomer Kungpow has a LOT of Ryu's and Ken's techniques. It's also a parody of Mortal Kombat in the fact that after you whiddle your opponent's energy down to nothing, they stagger around, awaiting your finishing "Fatality"--in this game, it is reffered to as a "Claytality" and most of them are really cool, AND really stupid. And lastly, it is a parody of Killer Instinct Gold, a fellow N64 fighter; since all characters are able to string together special moves and normal attacks into an unstoppable frenzy.
What's also cool about this is the fact that it's funny. And by funny, I mean it's REALLY funny. Its humor beats the daylights out of Conker's Bad Fur Day for the matter of how each gag is delivered-- you have a Chinese guy (Kungpow) who has a few gags tied to his thick Asian accent. For example, one of hs attacks is "Hong Kong Clap", but thanks to his accent, he ends up yelling "HONG KONG CRAP!". Another is a witch doctor named Houngan, who has plans for world domination by manner of shrunken heads. He's your basic witch doctor with a neck tie, bowler cap, and rubber chicken. For one attack, he bats his chicken at you while smirkingly saying "Cluck you!" in the famous New York style. And let's not forget Sumo Santa. We all knew the dude had to go on a diet before he got in the slay, and this game simply harps on that. When the fight begins, he rips off his traditional Santa suit and yells "Santa's gonna sit in YOUR lap!" LOL indeed.
If anybody runs across this dandy, hilarious game, I highly recommend picking it up. For 5 or 6 bucks, it's worth every penny.
