Called Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, the internet has decided that the return of a middling platformer starring a bobcat from the 16-bit era is another case of nostalgia gone bad, or one step too far. This new Bubsy, the fourth or fifth game in the series, also sees the return of publisher Accolade. Well, the name at least. For us at AusGamers though, we see this as the return of the original esport.

And a game that captured and nurtured the competitive spirit of an entire nation-continent during the '90s.



Anyway, here's a new look at 2017 Bubsy, which is slated to be released for PC and PlayStation 4 later this year. Also here's a description that we haven't bothered to read.

Bubsy the Woolies Strike Back! is an all new Bubsy adventure featuring Bubsy in a bevy of exotic locations as he travels the planet looking for the beloved Golden Fleece. Bubsy must use all of his classic moves and a few new ones to dodge and out bobcat a battalion of Woolies, not mention the gnarliest UFO bosses to ever grace a Bubsy adventure.

Mainly because we're watching old A*MAZING videos on YouTube.
