I find it baffling that of all the franchises to bring back they keep trying with Bubsy.
Army Men, Dino Crisis, Soul Reaver, Time Splitters, Tomba are all right there!

what is this obsession with trying to bring back bubsy that has been going on? its funny as a meme but why? It really is bizarre. There are plenty of actual GOOD games that don't get even 1% of the attention this series continuously gets. It was never good, even the "good" SNES/Genesis games are okay at best, and when compared to any other platformer from that era, it falls squarely in the middle. I think it just encapsulates the "Mascot Platformer" in a lot of ways, albeit mostly for mediocrity. It had its "height", the terrible cartoon attempt, the awkward transition into 3D, the fade to obscurity, and their middling revival attempts, as this is far from the first. It's not like Awesome Possum or Wild Woody, where there's just the one game as far as I know, or something like Gex, where there just seems to be no interest from whoever holds the rights in getting it back out there in any real way.

I actually think a decent number of people will buy this, specifically to play Bubsy 3D on a modern console. (No, seriously.) Yeah, but we shouldn't talk about them.

The original Gex was good on the 3DO, but was obsolete within a year. And Gex 3 spent all it's budget on Marliece Andrada, instead of making a balanced game. But yeah, both those franchises are far more deserving than Bubsy ever was.

I do want to say, I am glad this Bubsy release exists to an extent, because there is (somehow) a market for it. Like, its existence is perfectly harmless. It's just sometimes wild to see it get as many chances as it does compared to less fortunate misfit franchises.

So just curious...
This wasn't on Limited Run Games' channel.
And the trailer to Gex is an exact copy of the Bubsy trailer, except it's far more fitting for Gex. Oh and the sound effects *are* from Gex.
So I'm starting to think this isn't real.

Yeah LGR was being cheeky and having Bubsy have the exact same trailer as Gex did last year, but having him fail in it instead. The whole LGR3 was really weird. Toxic Crusaders and GI Joe getting Arcade Beat-em-up style games and the Snow Bros having a completely new game.

Bubsy is just a meme that's gone way too far at this point. I have a hard time believing people are hyped for this.

First game is charming, definitely outdated in modern terms, and the things is does wrong really do pop out when you look at it now, but it's fun if you turn your brain off. Most of the retrospectives on it really do play up how bad it is, and the rest of the series. It's bad, no doubt, but it's not the worst thing in the world as some videos try to play it off as.

I'm one of those weirdos that remembers actually enjoying the first 2 platformers. Mind, I was like 10 at the time...

Bubsy himself was so annoying that the games could have been Mario 64-level and I would still hate them.

IP owners see stuff like The Room being hits and also total crapfest and figure their crapfest can be the same. If this hits the Evercade I might grab it. I know I played whatever Busby games were on the Genesis. But remember nothing about them.

Capcom, if they can continue to greenlit these games, why can't you get MegaMan Volnutt off the damn moon already?
