Publisher Atari and developer Digital Eclipse announced that The Disney Afternoon Collection will release on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on February 26. The updated collection adds two new games, bringing a total of eight Disney-themed classic games to Nintendo consoles for the first time since their original releases on NES and SNES.
The two SNES classics coming to The Disney Afternoon Collection are Bonkers and Goof Troop. Both games are making a return since they debuted in the 80s and 90s.
The Disney Afternoon Collection will also have a physical edition for Switch 2, and it will have the full game on cart. Pre-orders are now available at major retailers, including Atari’s website, for the physical edition.
Here is an overview of The Disney Afternoon Collection via Atari:
Players can relive the magic of the Disney Afternoon cartoons with a suite of modern upgrades, including the ability to Rewind to correct mistakes and Save your progress anywhere. The collection also features a Gallery, a virtual museum curated by Digital Eclipse historians, featuring behind-the-scenes materials, archival content from the Disney vault, and a Music Player where fans can enjoy the original soundtracks from all eight games. The six NES games feature Time Attack and Boss Rush speed-running modes with online leaderboards.
The full lineup includes:
Goof Troop (SNES): Team up with Goofy and Max in one of Shinji Mikami’s earliest titles, solving puzzles together to rescue friends from a pirate island.
Bonkers (SNES): Navigate six wacky platforming levels in Toontown filled with Easter eggs for Disney fans.
DuckTales & DuckTales 2 (NES): One of Capcom’s biggest hits, play as Scrooge McDuck with a cane that doubles as a weapon and a pogo stick. Explore multi-path levels packed with secrets, surprises and a memorable soundtrack. The sequel is just as fun!
Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers & Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 (NES): In this early 8-bit co-op platformer starring loveable chipmunk detectives, players work together to navigate levels, collecting acorns, boxes and other items to throw at enemies.
TaleSpin (NES): Fly through the skies as Baloo in his plane, The Seaduck, in this side-scrolling shooter. Use quick reflexes and ace piloting skills to dodge enemies and bosses.
Darkwing Duck (NES): Fight crime as the winged terror himself, Darkwing Duck, and battle a variety of enemies with a gas gun.
Atari is apparently working on the Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition that was recently rated. The company has published a few classic games as of late, including the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
