Before being a N64 game, Clayfighter 63 1/3 was planned to be released for the Panasonic M2. In this video we can see and old version of the game, with a different HUD and maybe a couple of different stages (i’m not sure, i played the final game many years ago..). This could even be a movie from the cancelled M2 version, but it’s hard to tell. If you see some more differences, let us know! :)

U64 is an archive with articles, screens and videos for cancelled, beta & unseen videogames. Every change & cut creates a different gaming experience: we would like to save some documents about this evolution for curiosity, historic and artistic preservation.

I remember seeing some promo ’shots’ of this form in NMS which were much prettier (higher resolution, for one thing) than the final game; someone wrote to the magazine asking how that was, and the answer given was that the early shots were conceptual work. Pretty thorough concept work if there’s a video, though.

i though that too, it looks more like a “tech demo” than the real thing.. if you see the old screens from the M2 version and the first images from the N64 version, they look just the same: probably the game was still in concept stage, and they start the real development only later

As far as I can tell, it’s all more detailed and with 2-d backgrounds. Also, the presence of cancelled character Hobocop can be seen.
