It's amazing how you were able to make an interesting full length video about something so unremarkable - my cousin had this when I was little and I thought it was a bit rubbish-y then but now I kind of want one. Also, I DESPERATELY need that Gakken version that looks like a telephone, that looks amazing

Bubsy was one of those things that could have only existed in the 90s. Alas, now he spends his days in Forgotten Mascot Hell, along with Spot and Geoffrey Giraffe.
Gabe Chapman Sonic maybe but Knuckles can be salvaged! He needs his own game and series, the Sonic name has been forever tarnished with that 360 XBOX game that came out, and also Sonic 4! Which is really a remake of the original over 20 years ago lol!
FunkMastaMegaFlex LOL so true, too bad they tarnish Knuckles Legacy a bit by making him a useless side character in the recent games. Back in the day he was a bad ass character in the Sonic and Knuckles pack that can glide and climb walls (he was way too fun to use). At least he is going to look tougher in Sonic Boom.
The first Bubsy was a really good game actually. The controls can take some getting used to but once you get past that learning curve it's a really enjoyable game. One of my favorites. It has great music, huge levels with lots to do, the levels have a lot of color and variety to them (something my mother loved about the games because she liked games that were full of color), and it was a really long game. The password system meant you could pick up where left off and there was a great challenge in them. The bonus stages also a good draw for me because they weren't easy even when you knew how to get through them. They really put you to the test. The other games in the series were just...awful. horrendous but the first Bubsy will always have a place on my shelves.
That jump at 14:32, in Bubsy 2D games, there is a certain height that if you jump from high enough, without gliding, you can die. Playing on the SNES Bubsy games has this too. This is probably one of the first platformers for me that introduced falling damage. Also, I don't think they are observant as much. That shirt is an extra life. In short, Bubsy is a sloppy Sonic game that tried to have too many 2D platforming elements that are precise but the controls aren't as finessed as Mario (due to the whole speed thing). Biggest thing, is the glide and falling damage. And the "trying" wise cracks. Also, level design is obviously not as good. Very busy to even quickly adapt to for speed (but it would keep gamers on their toes... literally).
Mario Herrera Um. That's the thing. It's really old. You've probably already seen it. Dragon Ball Z original series Dragon Ball was based off of it. Son Goku, Wukong, Sun Wukong. Just a few of the names the monkey character has gone by in various retellings.
Mario Herrera I will tell you this though. American Born Chinese. Aside from the original version of the story. Best version bar none. And it's one of those nice graphic novels too.
They have a conversation about how it is weird that the cat can glide, then completely forget all about it when they are supposed to utilize that move. Facepalmed so hard I broke my wrist.
I think that the reason you have to *run past* the switch to turn it green is because it's basically a reskin of the switch from Bubsy Claws Encounters. Running past the switch flips it to the right or left depending on your direction, which makes sense. Here, it doesn't. It's just a block with lights.
Emma Starr We can confirm that right now the movie is more finished than it's ever been. but seriously though, storyboarding's done, shooting's done, just VFX to be done now and that could take a while
13:00 Mike is about to call Bubsy a pussy... Then he realizes the Bubsy is a cat, and therefore calling him a pussy is a really clever joke, so he stops and says it again with more emphasis
This is the only game that I ever found outside on the ground. It was in an EB Games parking lot. Im guessing someone tried to trade it in and got rejected.
Can't forget Hobbes... one of the greatest, but still an orange cat. I guess there's a knack to fitting just the right notes into a cartoon character for them to feel like they have a lot of personality, but it's simpler to just go with the sort of manic, in your face, "hey, look at this!" type of character, too, if you want quick cash from kid's gullibility.
Simon Hanson Yeah, because heaven forbid someone doesn't get a reference to an internet critic, because not knowing something that doesn't really need to be known about and doesn't really help in day to day life makes you dumb....
The first level's name is a reference to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit Holy shit this is the first time i see a Bubsy game actually make a clever joke instead of shitty puns
I'm disappointed they didn't realize this game has fall damage lol Sad to say, bubsy was one of the first games I had for my Snes as a kid. Never realized it was such a bad game as a kid... I just thought I was bad. Turns out it was just the game.
If he's a cat, he should leap, not hop around like a bunny rabbit. When he does that 'flying' move his back should be curled like a cat's when it pounces. Standing on his hind feet, fine, cause he's a toon. I don't get why he smiles all the time though, makes him look like a dork on a sugar high. And since he has claws there should be less jumping and instead, crawling up walls and pouncing down on critters.
Never heard of this game before. I played some "Bubsy" games in different consoles, but I've never played on the Jaguar. It was made by the same company that made the classic VCS/2600 console which is my all-time favorite. The title in the series was a reference to the segment "Fractured Fairy Tales" which was shown as part of the "Bullwinkle Show" made by Jay Ward in the 1960's. The first stage of the game was also a reference to a song by Jefferson Airplane called "White Rabbit" where the line says "Go Ask Alice".
Would have rather seen a longer Robocop VS Terminator episode. You guys were enjoying the game and making a little progress. This whole video you barely made it past the first screen.....exciting
You mentioned Garfield & Heathcliff and brought me back to childhood memories. The good old days. Heathcliff was a lot better as a cartoon though. I couldn't stand Garfield :)
thatd be pretty cool.... Feed your head so you know theres another group called Jefferson Starship? that confused me for a second... coz they sing Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now.. and for a second I thought the same band sung both of those songs and they're way different.
There was another type of side-scroller on the PC back in the DOS days that was like the PCs answer to Sonic and Mario. Jazz Jackrabbit, think Bugs Bunny's wit, crossed with Sonic's speed, and the firepower of Rambo (complete with bandana). The game was awesome, I played the shareware episode and the sequel alot. Full of puns and awesome music. The guys who made the game later made Gears of War...

You need to review the other Bubsy games

Bubsy Still a part of the cat family.
The Chaos Dragoness How do you know I`m a cat? Just because the game says so does not have to mean that it is true.
Bubsy Bob*cats* are in the feline family and are considered cats. It's in the name.
It looks more like Bubsy in fractured level design.

Shame on you, Dr. Shaym.
It's like they were trying to make a Genesis Sonic game, but forgot to make it good.

James very nearly loses his shit at 13:25. lol
Ironically, Heathcliff is an older character than Garfield. So if anything Garfield is a rip off of Heathcliff, not the reverse.
14:33
"They put falling damage in their motherfucking 2D platform game!?" -JonTron
"I can't stop slurping cocks!" - Jontron
+TheCursedHikari because you use the glide to kill enemies and stop fall damage they just didnt realise in this vid

ok.. if you want
AWW!!! MY FAAAAVOURITE!!!!!!
Let's play some JAG !!
14:50 James doing an Earthworm Jim got hit scream.
12:23 The bees! Not the bees!! Aaaahhh!
This game needs an HD 1080p 4D remake- remastered edition.
No it needs to fucking burn.
Make JonTron quit again
lol its just happened its out on ps4 soon lol
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back
Out on Ps4 and it's HORRIBLE!!!!!!
Eric Hoffman well you’re wish was granted
I just looked up the Bubsy playstation game Mike was talking about. That game NEEDS a nerd video
its allready done,Wish list "part 2"
Dragonfly99ism He didn't do this one. He did Bubsy 3D which was a completely different game.
Jay Tuber I think he's saying he already did the bubsy 3D on wishlist.
Rusty Shackleford Now that I investigate the comment closer your right, sorry 'bout that.
He already did.
its not that i hate bubsy, its just that i see no reason to like him
Watch the pilot. You'll want him dead for sure!
I love him though.
@@anikmonette2140 I forgot there was a cartoon pilot for this hippopotamus muckspread

Mario Herrera I will tell you this though. American Born Chinese. Aside from the original version of the story. Best version bar none. And it's one of those nice graphic novels too.
My favorite Bubsy game is still Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind. I would love to see you guys play it.
They have a conversation about how it is weird that the cat can glide, then completely forget all about it when they are supposed to utilize that move. Facepalmed so hard I broke my wrist.
Nice E.T. shirt James

13:28 that's some real, pure rage right there
Why James is wearing shirt with E.T. on it?
His whole movie's based on it so why not.
Maybe it's a secret message that means his movie is almost finished? /brick'd
We can always hope...
Emma Starr We can confirm that right now the movie is more finished than it's ever been.
but seriously though, storyboarding's done, shooting's done, just VFX to be done now and that could take a while

Why English not well
lol I cannot hold the laugh whenever James says "fuuuuuckkk!"
13:00 Mike is about to call Bubsy a pussy...
Then he realizes the Bubsy is a cat, and therefore calling him a pussy is a really clever joke, so he stops and says it again with more emphasis
I guess you missed the part where Mike talks about Bubsys' annoying voice and how he makes stupid cat puns. Try again.
DutRank No, I saw that part. Doesn't make "Bubsy's a pussy" so funny that it's worth backing up and trying it again.
Its funny that the whole time they had no idea about fall damage
"Nobody dies by getting attacked by a rabbit's ear on the foot!"

4:51 is totally Mike's Bugs Bunny voice.
8:26 Nice. He says "B" right when a bee hits him.

Instantly thought of JonTron, just had to mention it.
Consider this game merciful compared to everything Jon went through.
Yeah they mention exactly the same shit xD
Bubsy 1 on SNES is one of my favourite SNES games. I beat it many many times as a child.

Enjoyed this one as usual. I loved Busy on Genesis as a kid, but I hated the instant deaths. I did manage to beat it though
Hobbes is the best cat character.
This is unintentionally the funniest thing I've ever seen. The frustration just builds and builds lololol
14:41 - That isn't the mohawk that killed you, it was the falling damage. Falling damage. In a side scrolling platformer. One of those kinds of games.
"Sober as a Cobra"
That's pretty cool actually. XD
cats actually spread their bodies to maximize drag when falling, and some even survive high falls
I didn't know that was how that was done. The magic is gone now. :(
"If you run... you're done!"
Can't forget Hobbes... one of the greatest, but still an orange cat. I guess there's a knack to fitting just the right notes into a cartoon character for them to feel like they have a lot of personality, but it's simpler to just go with the sort of manic, in your face, "hey, look at this!" type of character, too, if you want quick cash from kid's gullibility.
One of the things about Bubsy was he was supposed to be faster than Sonic. Also he can fly.
Is that Rob Paulsen on Bubsy's voice? I know he did the voice for the TV show pilot, but what about this game?
This game was a cat-thastrophy.
not more cat puns

There were 2 Bubsy games on Genesis, the same 2 the SNES got. That 2nd one on Genesis & SNES also appeared on Game Boy.
The first level's name is a reference to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit
Holy shit this is the first time i see a Bubsy game actually make a clever joke instead of shitty puns
13:26 James's natural anger.
If you run... YOU'RE DONE.
At 14:32, I involuntarily shouted, "Fuck this game!"
I'm disappointed they didn't realize this game has fall damage lol

god i hope theres more nerd episodes soon
What did I learn in this video of J&M mondays: When you are gonna do a leap of faith in video games, you have to sound like you're taking a shit
Bubsy 1 on the SNES wasn't that bad. It was actually fun in some parts.
@ 12:24 Mike had a Nicolas Cage moment.
Would have rather seen a longer Robocop VS Terminator episode. You guys were enjoying the game and making a little progress. This whole video you barely made it past the first screen.....exciting
Bubsy is what happened when Garfield took a lasanga diarrhea dump.
You mentioned Garfield & Heathcliff and brought me back to childhood memories. The good old days. Heathcliff was a lot better as a cartoon though. I couldn't stand Garfield :)
Heathcliff is the "hood/projects version" of Garfield. Garfield is straight chill.
Mario glides with magic and Bubsy also glides with his shirt.
"Go ask Alice"= Jefferson Airplane reference?
thatd be pretty cool....
Feed your head
so you know theres another group called Jefferson Starship? that confused me for a second... coz they sing Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now.. and for a second I thought the same band sung both of those songs and they're way different.
Favorite fairy tales: The Snow Queen; East of the Sun, West of the Moon; and The Wild Swans.
It's a cat, and you put him in a shirt. BAM, it's Bubsy!
Funny coincidence IMO: Bubsy on the PS1 reminds me of the unfinished leaked alpha version of 'Jazz Jackrabbit 3' or 'Jazz Jackrabbit 3D'.
Not the bees! Not the bees!
He's back, dear lord Bubsy is coming back. What have you done Internet?
Why is it unlisted again?
Bubsy's tagline is "What could possibly go wrong?"
You were wondering about the sober version of Drunk as a skunk. Where I'm from we say 'As sober as a judge."
That phrase could go either way lol
It'd be interesting to see what kind of animal mascot these guys would design for a game system.

I know. I typed AVGN out of convenience, it's 1 letter shorter than James :)
Heathcliff was like apples & oranges to Garfield. Heathcliff was all about him defending the junkyard and getting into fights with the gang of cats.
Guys you should play Mystical Ninja on N64!
