  Recently, a new excited baryon state, $\Omega(2012)$, was observed in the
invariant mass spectra of $K^-\Xi^0$ and $K^0_S \Xi^-$ by the Belle
Collaboration. This state has a narrow width ($\sim 6$ MeV) compared to other
baryon states with a similar mass. In this paper, we provide a mini-review on
the $\Omega(2012)$ state from the molecular perspective, where it appears to be
a dynamically generated state with spin-parity $3/2^-$ from the
coupled-channels interactions of the $\bar{K} \Xi(1530)$ and $\eta \Omega$ in
$s$-wave and $\bar{K} \Xi$ in $d$-wave. Additionally, alternative explanations
for the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance are also discussed.
