Bubsy the Bobcat!Įven though this abomination of ink and paint only aired once and then was never seen again, Bubsy: The Animated Series managed to have its own intro. It's best to grab this turd with my bare hands and try to shape it into something more palpable than this metaphor.
With that being said, I can't delay this any further. The cartoon is animated by none other than Calico Creations, the sick assholes responsible for Widget the World Watcher. Now, even if you're a poor naive fool like me and honestly enjoyed Bubsy's games and start thinking that, hey, since the games were cartoony, this is going to lend itself to some good animation, there is one thing that assures me that this is going to be a pile of crap right off the bat. Yes, my mind was blown when I saw that Bubsy had at one point been animated by poor employees just looking for a paycheck. The only reason people are even aware that this cartoon actually existed is, like me, they were bored one day, searched "Bubsy the Bobcat" on Wikipedia and YouTube, and this lonely pilot turned up. Lots and lots of 'tude.Īnd yet out of all of those games, some much more deserving of a cartoon than Bubsy (I would personally watch the hell out of a Dynamite Headdy cartoon), Bubsy was the one that got the deal. Some were good, some were bad, but many of them contained 'tude. Games like Awesome Possum, Plok!, Ristar, Green Dog, Chuck Rock, Dynamite Headdy.the list is as long and as vast as the mighty oceans that coat our beloved planet. The platformer genre of the 16-bit era, especially for the Sega Genesis, were just infested with creatures like Bubsy, eager to gain a piece of that scrumptious mascot pie. Instead, he's a copycat a shameless attempt by a company to drink some of the sweet milk leaking from the swollen teats of Sonic the Hedgehog's cash cow. I actually like this game.īubsy the Bobcat is not really a bobcat at all. Suck on that, 16-bit console wars!īut let's suppose, for a second, that instead of talking about a video game that everybody with a Genesis loved and cherished as a kid (Sonic the Hedgehog) or a video game that, while isn't very well-known, is at least extremely imaginative in its design and offers games that remain very solid examples of the platformer genre (Rayman), I'm going to talk about the only video game that both managed to both appear on the Wiki page innocently titled "List of video games notable for negative reception" and managed to get his own pilot.
They had me by the ovaries and they would not rest until they squeezed every penny out of my parents' wallets in order to keep their little girl's hedgehog fix satiated.Īnd ironically, now I'm on Team Mario as far as mascot platformer games are concerned and honestly don't give a crap whenever a Sonic game comes out now. Pity me, fair readers, for I was the little marionette gleefully pulled by the strings by SEGA's skilled puppetmaster hands. One of the reasons I like to talk about Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog so much is because, at one point in my childhood, I was living a life where I was playing Sonic games and playing with Sonic toys and then watching Sonic cartoons and chewing Sonic bubble gum and later reading Sonic comics. There's just something charming about watching a company try to translate my experiences with my various game consoles (minus the swearing, controller-throwing, the unfair deaths, and the uncontrollable sobbing) into something I can watch after I'm done playing said game. It's been a while since I talked about an animated adaptation of a video game. He perfected the Dreamworks face before Dreamworks even started making CGI films. In fact, I feel bad about myself and my life choices for even mentioning this cartoon's existence.
