Publisher Accolade and developer Choice Provisions have released a new trailer to promote the upcoming release of Bubsy: Paws on Fire! The game arrives on Switch on 29th August.
This follows on from a delay in May, when it was revealed the title had been pushed back to this summer "to allow a bit more time for final adjustments." The co-founder also released the following statement at the time:
“The Switch version of Bubsy: Paws on Fire is in great shape, we’re in the final push on some non-gameplay aspects on Switch.”
If you haven't kept up with the recent Bubsy news, the anthropomorphic bobcat's latest game has been created by the same team responsible for the Bit. Trip series (Gaijin Games). This one is also a runner-style platform title.
It will include four playable characters, new moves, collectibles, a unique combo system, in-game cosmetic shop, boss battles, and more than 100 levels. For more information, check out our previous post.
Will you be picking up this game when it arrives next month? Leave a comment below.

Ah, yes. PSX Extreme. The same people that said gave Bubsy 3D a 93% and a Golden X award.
I remember renting Busby 3D.
Think it's probably my worst experience in gaming.
The game doesn't look half bad. I like the colors. Even with Gaijin Games on board, I don't have much confidence for this.
@N00BiSH I think that was the joke
Will they have an achievement titled the golden X award if I 100% it?
@ImprobableToast just for that, you gotta play bubsy 3d now.
@N00BiSH Unfortunately they didn't release that in Australia, so unless you can get me the Saturn version that's a no.
insert JonTron references here
Who asked for this? Seriously, Bubsy should have died on the SNES, and that is coming from someone who still has the original cart.
Oh for the love of all that is sacred in gaming, why is this Bubsy game still being pushed foward? How did it even get this far? Did the previous games in the series actually sell well despite being absolute pig swill? Will I stop asking question to make a point? I want answers!
@PBandSmelly JonTron playing Banjo-Kazooie in Smash is probably the only 'Smash Montage' I would watch. (Well, barring something crazy like Sakurai playing Kirby, Miyamoto and/or Martinet playing Mario, etc.)
OMG! Look at that Bubsy model!!!11! I swear that they are reusing the same design as the previous Bubsy games from the 16-bit era!1! Choice Provisions is so lazy if they don't port the original monsters from the original game into this new one1111! I am so upset about this game I have not played!!!! I am a Nintendolife commentator!!111
@KingBowser86 Don't forget Hideki Kamiya playing Bayonetta, Hideo Kojima playing Snake, or Yusuke Urameshi playing Piranha Plant.
Best bubsy game ever? From what I gather, there ain’t much competition in that dept.
Hmm dont know, not having a good feeling
I REALLY disliked the original Bubsy
SNES, then I couldn't believe they kept releasing more titles... WHO was playing these!? But I suppose everyone deserves a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh chance (if you count "Super" Bubsy). BTW, why is the Bubsy character so very tiny? Anyway, good luck with this one 🐾🔥
@Obito_Sigma I am currently going through the entire Yu Yu Hakusho series on the Funimation app so I love the spirit detective reference you snuck in there.
Bubsy for Super Smash Bros?
Anyone??
@Tipehtfomottob only if he replaces the bag in the home run contest
"The best Bubsy game ever"
Well that doesn't say crap!
Im still hoping for a klonoa game on switch....if he still alive. Really liked those games.
Bubsy should have been neutered after that awful SNES game, then we wouldn't have to deal with his offspring today!
This shows me how powerful memes in our modern society can be. The memes and the internet, in general, kept Bubsy alive and he is now heading with probably his best game so far.
This gives me more hope that Banjo-Kazooie will return someday. If Bubsy can make it, so everybody else.
@Xelha
Uhm? I, uhm. How can you compare?
Boeing 777 fly better than Toyota Prius.
Terrible game. Even as a physical collector I have zero interest in the limited edition for this game.
Reminds me a little of the Splosionman/woman look
@Xelha That isn't really saying much
I like the jokes and the game looks colourfull. Will check reviews and gameplay when it comes out. If its decent ill buy it:P
Isn't this whole series a deliberate joke?
I actually love the original bubsy
@N00BiSH i don't think that the PSX Extreme site have any relation with the PSExtreme magazine besides a similar name 🤔
The original Bubsy was, at the very best, spectacularly average.
The second outing was more or less more of the same.
Bubsy 3D was something I can count as one of the worst game I ever played in my entire life. And going back to pong, that's saying something.
Now, the only way I'd see this approaching the vicinity of relevancy, would be for the game to be completely self-aware and totally playing on the irony that no one actually wanted this. IF it has good gameplay, that could work. Somewhat... Maybe.
But going from that trailer, the game looks completely "meh" to me. Looks bland, derivative, and the music is just AWFUL to my ears. Music sounds like uninspired modern version of generic platforming music that was in every horrible "me-too" platformers of the early 90s... Which in a sense, might be fitting as that's what Bubsy was initially...
I think the only part of the trailer that impressed me, was seeing the old Accolade logo again. It only went downhill after that.
I'll wait and see, maybe I'll be surprised, but I'm not setting my hopes anywhere above average.
@Franklin Exact same. Rented it. Probably worst game I ever set eyes on. Who wants this?
I think I want it. Nice trailer.
Choice Provisions are cool guys, and I have no doubt this game is good fun to play. Visually though, it's kind of close to "everything wrong with contemporary graphics design".
Character too small on screen, messy level visuals, too many effectd and textures bleeding ugly colors into eachother, an 3D models absolutely not being shown from their best angles.
@N00BiSH Somone gave Bubsy 3d that score? MY god...thats how you know you cant trust a review..damn that game was trash.
@The_Top_Loader I dont understand the hate for it, i loved those games.
@Obito_Sigma If we're going that far down the rabbit hole, it would be far more awesome to have a Creators' Tournament where they all duke it out using any character they made!
@ImprobableToast there was a Saturn version?
@NullPointerExcep your punishment for ruining the joke is you gotta play Bubsy 3D
I guess I need to go back and play the original Bubsy games, because I remember really liking them as a kid. With how everyone hates on them, though, maybe I just liked it because I had such a limited selection of games to play...?
@FiveDigitLP
I think it just became popular to hate the Bubsy games. I remember liking the first one as a kid/young teen. I mean it wasn't the best but I generally had a lot of fun with it. I remember liking it enough that I wanted the second one when it came out but I never actually played anymore.
When my nephews would play my SNES games, Bubsy was in the top three games they enjoyed as well so I don't think all the hate is justified.
@N00BiSH 😂 I've never played It, maybe I will then
Felt bad for the devs though, there's a interview with the lead designer where he says they were in an expo, then they saw Mario 64 at Nintendo's booth and then went like 'oh my, we cannot ship this'
No log flume? Hard pass.
Bwuuuh. Bubsy is the only series I know that never rose beyond flawed and mediocre. How did it survive for so long? There are far more worthy games that deserve a revival. Hard pass.
@Tipehtfomottob: I certainly wouldn't mind Bubsy in SSB, I think it would be alot of fun to kick his @$$!
👊😆
@Tempestryke Memes... Bubsy was resurrected through the dark arts of meme magic. But I bought this for PS4 and it's actually fun. Not game of the year material, but it's the kind of game that's good to play in small bursts.
@TheFox Who or what did they sacrifice for it? Glad you enjoyed yourself anywho.
@Tipehtfomottob That’s literally the only character in all of gaming I DON’T want in Smash Bros!
@Tempestryke I imagine it more like a horror movie. Place several candles in a hex, whisper "What could possibly go wrong?" three times, and Bubsy just materializes.
@TheFox takes notes and raises hand Can we do this for good games too? Or are they only relegated to mediocre and bad franchises like Bubsy and Skate or Die?
@N00BiSH Planned and aparently worked on but cancled. The rom might be out there but it was never released
