One game we've been keeping an eye on for some time now here at Nintendo Life is the utterly ridiculous Fight Crab. The premise is quite simple - two crustaceans enter an arena and only one comes out the victor.
So, when will it be released? According to a listing on Play-Asia, it'll be surfacing in Japan on 20th August. Here's a brief description along with a mention of the pre-order bonus:
Fight Crab is a new type of 3-D fighting game that grants the player complete autonomy and control of their limbs as a playable crab.
Create your own play-style and unique moves by utilizing the physics of your surroundings, and the unique movement style of each species of crab.
Use not only your claws, but over 40 tactical weapons and items to flip your opponent
Pre-Order Fight Crab and receive A4 Clear File Fight Crab.
There's no word on a western Switch release just yet, but according to Play-Asia, the Japanese copy will support English.
Will you be shelling out for Fight Crab? Tell us below.

wow i havent seen this many crabs since...
Rule #1: Don't talk about Fight Crab.
Finally, Giant Enemy Crab: The Game.
This game had better include the mantis shrimp. I can remember seeing a video of this thing attacking a crab fiercely and as the crab is backing away it rips its own leg off, hands it to the shrimp and retreats. Scary hard hitting shrimp!
LET'S GET READY TO BOIIIIIILLLL!!!!
Seriously the game looks ridiculous and fun. Markiplier played it and I was sold.
ahh one of the "wtf japan" products
The Switch is lacking serious educational games, so it’s nice to see a title that so painstakingly recreates these historical events that actually took place in ancient Japan.
@JayJ Be sure to attack it's weak point for massive damage!
Obligatory:
Finally, the Switch killer app.
It's happening!!
My crab is ready
I have to get this game..
Yessss, at least!!! I can't wait, i was thinking it was canceled!!! Btw, you should take a look at Ace of Seafood, from the same developers.
They should stop being so shellfish and just release it.
ALL HAIL CRAB!
Finally, a game based on Japanese history.
I've been fighting with crabs for the past week.
I'm thinking it's time I just shave it all off and start fresh.
Can't wait to see how good (bad) his actually is when it releases.
It also reminds me of King Crab from Geoff Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy comics. Actually, that series could make for a great game. Battling huge numbers of outlandish enemies in crazy settings, tonnes of over the top violence and destruction and a sarcastic talking mule.
Sort of like a Dynasty Warriors game but with, you know, decent gameplay.
I'm really hoping for a western release
Legitimately very hyped for this. Ace Of Seafood was very cool and a lot of fun so I'm expecting to like this one, too.
It would smart for Red Lobster to try some sort of cross promotion especially during their Crab Fest.
Since Phoenix Wright only got a physical copy in Japan, I probably should preorder this in case it's the only way to get Crab Battle on a cart.
I thought you were talking about Crab Champions, but this still looks good.
Let's fighting crab.
