Bubsy: Paws on Fire! for Switch delayed to summer

Publisher Accolade and developer Choice Provisions have delayed the Switch version of Bubsy: Paws on Fire! from its previously announced May 16 release date to this summer “to allow a bit more time for final adjustments.”

The PlayStation 4 and PC versions of em>Bubsy: Paws on Fire! are still slated for release on May 16. The PlayStation 4 version, as well as the summer-due Switch version, will be available both digitally and in a limited physical edition (currently available for pre-order at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop).

“The Switch version of Bubsy: Paws on Fire is in great shape, we’re in the final push on some non-gameplay aspects on Switch,” said Choice Provisions co-founder Mike Roush in a press release.

Here is an overview of the game, via Accolade:

• Four playable characters, each with their own unique game mechanics! Fly and shoot your way through the air as The Woolie, take it underground with Arnold’s bonus levels, or run your way to victory with Bubsy and Virgil Reality!
