Update #1 [Fri 29th Nov, 2019 12:15 GMT]: The game's eShop release has been delayed until the 30th December, but the physical release is out there.
Original Story [Tue 26th Nov, 2019 14:45 GMT]: Remember LastFight? We'll forgive you if you don't, but we covered it a while back when it was just a 'maybe' for a Nintendo release (it launched elsewhere in 2016).
Fast forward to the present day, and the game has – according to the publisher – just surprise-launched on the console; it wasn't even mentioned as part of the North American or Europe download updates last week.
Based on the French comic series Lastman, Last Fight is a Power Stone-style arena brawler where the aim is to eliminate your rivals using either your fists or nearby objects.
The game apparently hit European retail stores on November 20th, and was released on the eShop two days later. However, we've checked both the NA and EU eShops and it's nowhere to be seen – and, judging by the replies to the initial launch tweet, it would appear that other people are having the same problems. We've reached out to the publisher to find out what's happening and will update this story if we hear back.
Have you managed to pick up a physical copy of the game? Is LastFight available in your region's eShop? Let us know with a comment below.

OH HECK YES! I still haven't read the comics or watched the animated series, but this is another excellent edition to the Lastman series that I'm willing to give a try.
Maybe it has been pulled for misrating reasons or stuff? The Big Journey went MIA in Europe shortly after release as well, in the middle of its own launch sale, and has yet to reappear.
'Winners don't do drugs'..... Are these the same people that worked on Scott Pilgrim vs The World Game!!? Cause that's the same intro for that game!?
i like when capcom abandons an IP I love and someone else decides to make a clone of it with another IP (I'm looking at you crystal crisis)
Had a bit of fun with the PC version of this. Not quite as tight as Power Stone, but it scratches that itch. Wish it had a few more characters and modes.
Yes it is, i received my physical version over a week ago.
@Ttimer5 " Winners don't use bad drugs" is what it actually says. As the game is based around a type of steroid.
@Ttimer5 It's actually a spoof on the original message, because it says "winners don't do bad drugs". Back in the late eighties/early nineties, a lot of arcade games and brawlers/fighter games had the "winners don't use drugs" message in their intro, so it's more than likely a bit of a nod to the past.
@YANDMAN Ah... I just got ninja'd...
A whole two seconds of gameplay--wow!
POWER STOOOOOOONNNE
Never cared for Power Stone.
Never really clicked with me, I always thought Smash Bros was the better over the top brawler .
@ThanosReXXX
Oh 😔
But that's cool. If I remember correctly Scott Pilgrim's intro said something like "Winners don't eat meat" and shows a leek in the middle of the medal.
I just jumped to conclusions and thought it was from those same developers haha
Very curious to see more gameplay... it’s not on BA eshop at the moment but I don’t notice a change on the new releases until around 11 PST usually so I’ll check at lunch time.
It's not a game I care about so if it's not ready for Switch then so be it. I got other alternatives already.
I would definitely import this and Bubble Bobble 4 friends if I could find them.
@Ttimer5 Well, then we both learned something today, because I didn't know what you did.
Guess we traded a couple of useless fun facts, then...
Here's an example of the original message on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade cabinet:
I've had my eye on the steam version, but maybe I'll wait to see how well it runs on Switch.
I need this game in my life. Absolutely loved Powerstone on my PSP
That trailer was terrible and useless
Maybe theyre just pretending it's out becausw the real game is looking for their game.
@Dakotastomp I was about to ask if it’s related to LastMan, as the main character looks like a discount Richard Aldana and I haven’t seen the vid.
The animated series is ace and I recently started reading the comic, which has a different feel (though similar to the second half of the series).
Issues even Aldana can’t explain?
You’re an idiot, Aldana.
Was the eshop release postponed to November 30th or December 30th? The article says one and the tweet says another.
@tr573 FACTS!!! Crystal Crisis brought back so many Puzzle Fighter memories!!!
@Roam85 came to ask this sane question
It’s been delayed to Dec 30, not Nov. 30. The trailer didn’t tell me anything. Where’s the gameplay?
@brandonbwii I went on Youtube to see the gameplay.
I see the Powerstone resemblance but it doesn't convince me. I think Earthfall is more Left 4 Dead than Last Fight being Power Stone. Earthfall is currently $9.99 on eShop. Not a bad game.
@Ttimer5 That's also a reference to two vegan characters from the movie/comic (Scott Pilgrim).
Why no gameplay video and not even gameplay screens, in an article about the release of a game..
Sweet T’s! What a titillating, albeit useless, trailer!
