Limited Run Games has officially unveiled details regarding the highly anticipated physical release of Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection, bringing the bobcat mascot’s platforming adventures to the Nintendo Switch.

This new compilation celebrates the legacy of Bubsy—one of gaming’s most infamous and enduring characters—by compiling his classic titles and contextual artifacts into a single, expertly curated collection. Developed in collaboration with Atari, Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection is set to launch for Nintendo Switch with three distinct editions: a standard standalone version, a Deluxe Edition, and a premium Im-paw-sible Edition for dedicated fans and collectors.

Pre-orders will open on August 15, 2025, exclusively via Limited Run Games, giving both new and longtime fans an opportunity to own a tangible piece of platforming history. The Deluxe Edition of Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection is packed with collectible extras, including a selected soundtrack CD, a custom keychain, a collector’s poster, and a specially designed game case.

For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate experience, the Im-paw-sible Edition expands the offering with the complete soundtrack, a hardcover Mew-seum art book detailing the franchise’s evolution, a collectible Bubsy figure inspired by his 3D adventure, a spinning yarn pin, the Gold X Award keychain, and a Certificate of Pawthenticity, making it a must-have for series devotees. Exploring Bubsy’s tumultuous legacy from the early '90s mascot wars to his status as a cult favorite, Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection serves not just as a game compilation but as a playable retrospective.

Curated by producer and recognized Bubsy authority Audi Sorlie, in partnership with the Limited Run and Atari teams, the collection assembles an authentic, archival-quality experience that dives deep into the bobcat’s controversial history. Included in the set are: - Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Famicom, SEGA Genesis) - Bubsy II (Super Nintendo Entertainment System, SEGA Genesis, Game Boy) - Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales (Atari Jaguar) - Bubsy 3D (PlayStation) All titles have been meticulously updated for modern hardware using Limited Run’s proprietary Carbon Engine, bringing enhancements such as increased resolution and framerate, save states, and rewind features.

The collection also spotlights archival content, like scanned manuals, promotional art, and advertisements, sourced directly from the Bubsy vaults.

Gamers and historians alike will enjoy video interviews that chronicle the franchise’s development and a built-in music player featuring iconic tracks. With this comprehensive release, Limited Run Games and Atari invite Nintendo Switch players to rediscover—or re-evaluate—one of gaming’s most notorious mascots.
