New 'Fight Crab' Switch Gameplay & Combat Showcase Released, Plus Another Live-Action Preview

The physics-based 3D brawler Fight Crab is coming to Nintendo Switch on Sept. 15. Fans eager to get their claws dirty can add the game to their wishlist right now by visiting the game's product page on the Nintendo eShop, with the option to pre-purchase starting on September 3 for $19.99!

Mastiff and Calappa Games today dropped a new developer video from creator Masafumi Onuki showcasing the game’s Switch motion controls and breaking down Fight Crab’s wide range of offensive and defensive combat options. In just a few minutes, Onuki-san will teach you how to play Fight Crab like a pro. And as an added bonus, the second installment in Fight Crab’s live-action video series is live now, too!

While Fight Crab may look like pure crustacean chaos (and… it is), the rules are pretty straightforward -- flip your opponent and keep them pinned. You’ve got all the classic fighting game moves you’d expect at your disposal, including blocks, grabs, throws and hyper mode-activated skills, with each Joy-Con controlling one of your claws. Weapons up the strategy even further -- strike from a distance with polearms, use the chained sickle to limit enemies’ movement, or just strap a jet engine to your pincer and fly circles around them!
