Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection Launches on Nintendo Switch With Enhanced Features and Playable History

Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection, a comprehensive retrospective package celebrating gaming’s most infamous bobcat, has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch.

Developed and published by Limited Run Games in partnership with Atari, this collection brings together four classic Bubsy titles, offering both longtime fans and curious newcomers a definitive look at the mascot’s polarizing legacy.

First appearing during the fierce mascot wars of the early 1990s, Bubsy quickly became recognized—sometimes controversially—as one of the more memorable platforming characters on classic consoles.

Now, through the innovations of Limited Run Games' proprietary Carbon Engine, Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection offers carefully enhanced versions of Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, Bubsy II, Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales, and Bubsy 3D, each restored for modern play on the Nintendo Switch.

This release is more than just a bundle of remastered games.

Spearheaded by producer and author Audi Sorlie, who is known for his passionate expertise in all things Bubsy, the collection doubles as an interactive museum.

In a statement reflecting on his role, Sorlie emphasized the ambition to present not only the games themselves but the unique artifacts, cultural context, and history behind the character.

"We've assembled not just the titles but also the story and impact of Bubsy over the years," Sorlie said in summary. Beyond the playable entries, The Purrfect Collection offers a wealth of exclusive features for Nintendo Switch players: improved resolution and frame rates, along with modern conveniences such as save states and a rewind function.

Fans and historians alike will appreciate the inclusion of high-quality scans of original game art, instruction manuals, advertisements, and other memorabilia, pulled from rarely-seen archives.

The package also features in-depth video interviews that dive into the creation and development of the Bubsy franchise, ensuring the collection is as educational as it is entertaining.

Several fan-favorite music tracks are also available in a dedicated music player for the first time. Highlighted titles in the bundle are: - Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind - Bubsy II - Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales - Bubsy 3D With its thoughtful enhancements and deep archival extras, Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection establishes itself as an essential release for collectors, preservationists, and anyone interested in platformer history.

The digital edition is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop, with further details on upcoming physical editions provided by Limited Run Games.

A launch trailer showcasing these features accompanies the release, ushering in renewed attention on a storied—if divisive—gaming mascot.
