After a few close races, the winner here was clear, with North America smashing it to bag 71% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>This time, as we await the launch of Bubsy 4D on the Switch and Switch 2, we&#8217;re going back to the SNES to check out the original: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/bubsy_in_claws_encounters_of_the_furred_kind\">Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind<\/a>. It kickstarted a turbulent career for the bobcat, but one that is thankfully still thriving.<\/p>\n<p>North America and Europe have pretty similar box arts for this one, but we think they&#8217;re different enough to warrant separate entries. So let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/snes\/related-articles:199465,200215 @ 1778424400 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<h2>North America<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"2acb0d02a15b8\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Bubsy - NA\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/2acb0d02a15b8\/bubsy-na.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/2acb0d02a15b8\/bubsy-na.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"657\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bubsy - NA\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesdb.launchbox-app.com\/games\/details\/439-bubsy-in-claws-encounters-of-the-furred-kind\">Accolade \/ Launchbox<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So this is almost certainly the most recognisable box art for Bubsy, showcasing the protagonist himself posing for the camera in all his glory. We&#8217;ve got the typical black border here for US SNES games, and it does make the central artwork stand out nicely.<\/p>\n<h2>Europe<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"4b85c43ad5541\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Bubsy - EU\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/4b85c43ad5541\/bubsy-eu.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/4b85c43ad5541\/bubsy-eu.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"632\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bubsy - EU\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesdb.launchbox-app.com\/games\/details\/439-bubsy-in-claws-encounters-of-the-furred-kind\">Accolade \/ Launchbox<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Europe&#8217;s is pretty much the same, albeit with a slightly smaller and realigned logo alongside a light blue border. This colour goes nicely with the main artwork and kinda feels like it&#8217;s an extension of it, in a way. Not massively different, then, but a solid effort.<\/p>\n<h2>Japan<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"2ab44c5c875a7\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Bubsy - Japan\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/2ab44c5c875a7\/bubsy-japan.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/2ab44c5c875a7\/bubsy-japan.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"1635\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bubsy - Japan\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesdb.launchbox-app.com\/games\/details\/439-bubsy-in-claws-encounters-of-the-furred-kind\">Accolade \/ Launchbox<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Japan went down a completely different route here to make use of the portrait orientation. Bubsy arguably doesn&#8217;t boast the same expressive pose as the western design, but we&#8217;re big fans of the stark white background and the awesome red logo at the top.<\/p>\n<section id=\"poll-11820\" data-block-type=\"poll\" class=\"poll\" data-uri=\"polls\/which_region_got_the_best_bubsy_in_claws_encounters_of_the_furred_kind_box_art\" data-id=\"11820\" data-question=\"Which region got the best Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind box art?\">\n<div class=\"results hidden\">\n<h3 data-toc=\"skip\">Which region got the best Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind box art?
