If you thought 90s platformer mascots were done trying to revive themselves with 2017's Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, then don't worry, because apparently that sold well enough to warrant another new entry. Accolade is bringing Bubsy out again for a new title called Bubsy: Paws on Fire, which will be gracing the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC next year. From what we see in the newly uploaded trailer, the BIT.TRIP.RUNNER team are developing this game, which appears to be a 2.5D auto-running platformer that has you playing as four different characters from deep Bubsy lore and history, which all have different gameplay elements.

Bubsy Reacts…

When I told my agent I wanted my next game to be my best yet, he reminded me I was no longer his client and had his number changed. Luckily the suc-… er, developers at Choice Provisions still agreed to partner up with me. It’s amazing what a couple of sharpened claws can get you in this world!

Choice Provisions Reacts…

After some productive meetings and even more productive threats we agreed to work with Bubsy on creating an auto-runner worthy of his stature. And when that was done we scrapped it and made a good game instead.

y?

I don't think it's an autorunner, they clearly say '' and even more productive threats we agreed to work with Bubsy on creating an auto-runner worthy of his stature. And when that was done we scrapped it and made a good game instead.'' How is everyone missing that part where they said '' we scrapped it''. Yeah it does look like one but i don't know

 

[SilverWah]

Best part is that they expect people to pay for this.
Such an pawthetic attempt.

The only 90s mascot that should be revived is Mega Man X.

What the hell, man. Did the last one even sell? I actually liked Bubsy and still didn't bother.

Uhh, what is today again?

I summon the Feline-Commanding Assassin, Minette Napkatti to the field in Attack Mode. And since Minette Napkatti was successfully summoned, her loyal pet, Bismarck the Ferocious Lion, also takes to the field in Attack Mode. And that ends my turn.

Your move, Bubsy.

I wholeheartedly appreciate this Bravely Second reference.

If Gaijin Games actually helped develop this, it might have a decent chance of it being somewhat good. I know Gaijin Games made phenomenal games over the last decade, but this is Bubsy, and SOMETHING is going to go wrong.

You're a terrible human being.

You're right, I am paw-sitively terrible! How could I have forgotten Bubsy's signature cat-tastic line, "what could paw-sibbly go wrong?", in my original post! Thanks for pointing that out, fur-real. Yeah I probably need help with all these cat puns I'm making tbh

 

[Bladexdsl]

what could possibly go wrong? it won't sell again

 

[huntertron1]

hahahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!! oooHHHHHHH bOY!. let me get a few things off my chest.
i hope the fire is not to hot because its time for me to roast ya bubsy

i hope this bobcat gets the frying pan when im done with him.

Why an auto-runner, it would be nice if it turns out good though, sadly, not looking much different from the last.

 

[Song of storms]

I will play it for sure. I was a bit skeptical at first, but come on, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[DJPlace]

i bought the latest bubsy and i have not played it and still sits on my PS4...

I played 'til the second boss of "Whoolies are back" and I felt boredom almost the whole session, despite I was a fan of the original game. There nothing been done wrong on a technical level, and no blatant flaws in the design, but it all felt generic, uninspired and un-fun.
