Make Up Your Own Mind About Critically Panned PS1 Platformer Bubsy 3D from 9th September on PS5

Bubsy 3D, developed by the studio that later produced Syphon Filter and Days Gone, was often criticized as one of the poorest platformer games on PlayStation 1 during its time. The team felt embarrassed when they saw a demo of Naughty Dog’s superior Crash Bandicoot at E3.

Now, you have the opportunity to experience it personally, alongside Bubsy’s 16-bit escapades, as well as its unusual spin-off on the Atari Jaguar.

On September 9th, the collection titled “Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection” is set to be released, and you can reserve a copy of one of its physical editions via this link beforehand.

Here’s what the blurb candidly says:

Was Bubsy a well-known figure from the 90s mascot wars or a joke in platforming games? The game ‘Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection’ delves into the complex past and continued appeal of this franchise. With playable history, artwork, interviews, and more, one might wonder what could possibly lead to any issues?

You’ll get all of the following games as part of your purchase:

  • Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Famicom)
  • Bubsy II (Game Boy, Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
  • Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales (Jaguar)
  • Bubsy 3D (PlayStation)

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that this collection is brimming with an abundance of captivating extras! Among them, you’ll find striking artwork, intriguing interviews with the creative minds behind the original production, and – get ready for it – the very first TV pilot episode from the 90s animated spin-off series!

Although these games might not be the top-notch ones, it’s truly remarkable to witness such a vast collection that clearly shows a high level of thoughtfulness and dedication put into it.
