Crabs in Super Mario Odyssey

It's Thursday again, folks, and as promised last week, it's time for another pinch of CRAB NEWS. Yes, we're doing this every week. Yes, it's actually quite difficult to find crab news every single week. But we do it for you, dear readers.

This week's Crab News is fresh from the net: if you're aware of the Twitter accounts "Can You Pet The Dog" and "Is Something Behind the Waterfall", two accounts that judge games on whether or not they let you pet animals and find treasure behind waterfalls, you'll know that they're big business. The former has almost 500k followers, and the latter 41k followers, which translates roughly to, "wow, people really care about petting things and treasure".

Well, there's a new account now, created just last week on the 27th May: "Does This Game Have A Crab In It", which is run by crab aficionado Cynthia. In less than a week, the account is already at almost 10k followers, because everyone loves crabs.

You can submit your own crabs to the account, but many games have already been covered, from Breath of the Wild and Ni No Kuni to Monster Hunter Generations and Splatoon 2.

Now, only one question remains: should we add the "does it have a crab" metric to our own reviews? It seems pretty important.
