Ridiculous, right? And yet here we are, just one day out from the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/bubsy-4d\">Bubsy 4D<\/a> at the time of writing. What a time to be alive.<\/p>\n<p>If that wasn&#8217;t enough, publisher Atari has also seen fit to release a physical edition of Bubsy 4D on Switch 2 \u2013 a <em>proper<\/em> physical edition, mind you, in which the full game is available on the cart (plus the obligatory day one patch that you&#8217;ll want to download). No Game-Key Card here, folks.<\/p>\n<p>Atari sent us a copy of the so-called &#8216;Pawsome Edition&#8217; of Bubsy 4D, so we thought it only right to show you exactly what you get in the box should you pick one up for yourself. So let&#8217;s get cracking!<\/p>\n<p>First up, the outer box is of decent quality, with a high gloss finish and raised edges around Bubsy himself and the logo. It&#8217;s good stuff. Meanwhile, the main Switch 2 case itself is exactly what you&#8217;d probably expect, though it&#8217;s nice to see a proper manual sitting snug above the cartridge.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Ollie Reynolds \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>The manual itself clocks in at 34 pages, containing information on the characters, environments, controls, and more. There&#8217;s even a classic notes page at the back if you want to jot anything down \u2013 lovely!<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols cols-2\">\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a title=\"Bubsy 4D Physical 6\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/04b7e7d5581fd\/bubsy-4d-physical-6.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/04b7e7d5581fd\/bubsy-4d-physical-6.445x250.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bubsy 4D Physical 6\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a title=\"Bubsy 4D Physical 7\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/7839e72c2ef8c\/bubsy-4d-physical-7.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/7839e72c2ef8c\/bubsy-4d-physical-7.445x250.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bubsy 4D Physical 7\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Ollie Reynolds \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>In addition to the manual, you&#8217;ve also got an 83-page art book. It&#8217;s not huge, but the quality is excellent, with a matte cover and slightly glossy pages. It covers everything from character concept art to key art, logos, and more. If Atari decides to commission a proper, hardback art book at some point, we&#8217;ll be there day one.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"6c07a0d0f8196\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Bubsy 4D Physical 8\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6c07a0d0f8196\/bubsy-4d-physical-8.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6c07a0d0f8196\/bubsy-4d-physical-8.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bubsy 4D Physical 8\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Ollie Reynolds \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Ollie Reynolds \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>Finally, the Pawsome Edition also includes a double-sided poster, which looks to be about A2 size. I&#8217;ve never been particularly fond of these, since the creases from being folded into the package look very unsightly.
