This is surreal.
I was actually a huge fan of Bubsy as a kid, and even today I don't understand why the first game is treated like its worse than Action 52 (at worst its an average platformer that at least tried to have a sense of humor). Bubsy II was crap though, and I never played the Jaguar one or Bubsy 3D.
But as I grew up I came to understand it was indeed flawed so some of the negativity makes sense, and thought Bubsy was doomed to obscurity much like the (admittedly much better) failed mascot Aero the Acrobat.
So this announcement.... I almost feel like checking to make sure its not April 1st because this is just so what the hell. I mean granted this is the same day and age where Shaq Fu got a sequel, but that was some glorified fan project for luls, this is apparently a company doing it. Just what the hell.
Now watch this game turn out to be surprisingly good.
