Crab Battles Get Turned Into A Real Video Game

Here we see two crabs fighting each other with a sword in each claw. Video games truly are the best.

In-development video game Kani no Kenka, or simply FightCrab, is the latest in a series of aquatic battle simulators from Japanese independent developer Nussoft.

There’s no release date for FightCrab, nor have any platforms been specified. We can but hope it shows up everywhere, and soon. In the meantime, we can all follow the developer @NeoNusso on Twitter for the latest teasing snippets. Like this one.
