It's literally just a ROM collection that's unnecessarily padded out by featuring multiple console ports of the same games; one of which being the Japanese localization of the first game. They felt this was important enough where they included videos of someone explaining some of the localized translations.

The main appeal of the compilation is a fixed, "refurbished" port of Bubsy 3D but it's the same damn game but stretched out to 16:9, and the analog controls/camera makes platforming and timing movement just as annoying as the original.

Your signature feels aptly appropriate for this crappy collection.

I think I almost would have been disappointed if it wasn't.

Bubsy was always one of those legendarily bad series.

I forgot to mention that every time you bring up the options menu in-game, Bubsy says "uh oh!"

Bubsy is the Morbius of gaming - it's been memed so hard that the studios have mistaken that for us liking it, but really it's always been utter dogshit.

Really? I've been reading that these things actually helped. I mean, they don't fix the poor level design and stuff, but that they supposedly make the game playable now from first impressions.

Granted, I haven't played the game yet. The plan is to wait until the physical comes out to give it a go. So I may be in for a rude awakening, there.

It would have been unfaithful to the source material to have it not be a mess.

Is Bubsy 3D really stretched to widescreen so it looks worse than before? That's kind of hilarious.

It looks and plays like shit, but not as shit as the original release. I don't know if it's just the sticks on my particular controller but everything feels a little slippery and jumping from platform to platform still sucks. It's more of a novelty than anything else.

It's a modified version of the PS1 game running on a proprietary PS1 emulator with some resolution/aspect ratio tweaks.

Okay, that's at least a marginal improvement.

I wasn't expecting a miracle, mind you, but at least... something. <_<

Bubsy was never good. Nobody asked for this. It is a meme. I am in my forties and this game was relentlessly marketed to my demo. Nobody got it.

The only game that mattered was 3d and just to Ulililia.

That one looks pretty good, though. Supposedly it's being put together by some pretty competent/reputable developers.

So I'm cautiously hopeful.

Also known as including all possible variants so nobody can complain about their preferred one being left out.
