In normal life, I'm a dog person, but when it comes to video games, I've got a real soft spot for Bubsy the Cat. A new collection of his past games is coming to Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Steam after being announced by Atari and Limited Run Games. It's called the Purrfect Collection (genius) and will feature games from the Atari Jaguar through to the PS1.
Check out the full list below -
- Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales (Atari Jaguar)
- Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (SEGA Genesis, Super Nintendo, Super Famicon)
- Bubsy II (Game Boy, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo)
- Bubsy 3D (PlayStation)
In a similar vein to the Crocipedia on the new Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster, the collection has artifacts and interviews that give gamers a better insight into how the games were made. All eight of the titles in the collection (titles for different systems are included as per the list above) have had modern enhancements to bring them kicking and screaming into this decade, but they still stay true to the original Bubsy formula.
Atari even managed to get us a direct quote from Bubsy himself - “Here we go again! I’m pawsitively pumped to bring my collection of purrfectly preserved pixels to cool cats everywhere. Hold onto your whiskers and get ready for a glide down memory lane, polished and pampered for your playing pleasure. What could possibly go wrong?”
As of right now, I don't have any solid release dates to give you, but in the meantime, you can head to Atari to find out more about the upcoming collection or wishlist it on Steam!
