We've been talking about Fight Crab since way back in March 2018 here at Nintendo Life, and every time we see it pop up on our feeds it makes us want it even more. Thankfully, it looks like we won't have too long to wait.
During the Japanese version of December's Nintendo Indie World showcase, which featured a completely different lineup of games, it was revealed that Fight Crab will be released in Nintendo's home nation in summer 2020 (you can see the announcement halfway through the video below). It was first expected to arrive in 2018 before being pushed back a year, and now it's slipped out of 2019 too, so hopefully this release window actually stays intact.
If you're not familiar with this one, all you need to know is that the game features crabs who seem intent on whacking each other in the face with anything they can get their claws on. Why? We've no idea. It looks absolutely barmy - but potentially in a good way - and earlier this year we were even treated to a new trailer featuring crabs with lightsabers. It's just brilliant.
Here's hoping it arrives next summer as promised and that a western release follows shortly after.

I'm not shelling out for it, but if you have an itching for crabs this does look good.
Noice I've been waiting for a confirmed release date.
Looks like the Goose has met his match.
Call me crazy, but I am most anticipating this game in 2020.
Amazing. Can't wait. Anyone know if it has motion controls? If this is a mad, sea-based version of ARMS then I'm so in.
Art takes time.
I'll continue patiently waiting for this masterpiece
@Lordplops Nice quick punwork.
omg what is that Coffee Talk game?
I'm afraid a fighting game based on purposely wonky, imprecise controls, I don't think it's going to be received well. I'm still very curious, and open to being wrong.
This game is delightfully insane.
FiNaLlY, A gamE FoR mE! A cRAb man!!!
@Lordplops Ha, I see what you did there, though I think I'm in a bit of a pinch because if I come out of my shell and join in on all the pun, someone might get crabby about it.
I’m gonna fight like Clawed van Damme
I just hope it’s actually good.
They made a game based off this?

The 1st rule of fight crab....
I watched Markiplier play it...you're better off just doing the same. lol
@Entrr_username that video is down. Shame, because that guy who recorded that deserved some royalties for this insane fighter.
@Gravitron YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT THE CRAB! Ooops, I blew it....
So here's this giant enemy crab...
That's what I remember whenever I see a crab in a game, poor Sony.
@Northwind Hey, for the porpoise of this conversation, I do believe this is a good catch of the day!
