The Disney Afternoon Collection, a celebrated compilation of classic Disney video games, has recently secured a fresh ESRB rating for both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
According to the listing, Atari appears to be responsible for this new edition, signaling a possible resurgence of these nostalgia-filled titles.
Originally developed and published by Capcom, The Disney Afternoon Collection debuted in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, garnering praise for its faithful preservation of six iconic platformers that originally launched on the NES during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The latest ESRB rating reveals that The Disney Afternoon Collection is classified as E for Everyone, with content descriptors citing 'Mild Fantasy Violence' and 'Use of Tobacco.' This content rating assures families and longtime fans alike that the suite of games remains suitable for a broad audience, while also preserving the original themes and imagery that defined these classics. The collection features some of Disney's most beloved characters and properties from the famed Disney Afternoon television block, including titles like DuckTales, DuckTales 2, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 2, Darkwing Duck, and TaleSpin.
Each game is enhanced with visual filters, rewind features, and bonus art galleries, making the package appealing to both veteran gamers and newcomers discovering these adventures for the first time. While a release date for The Disney Afternoon Collection on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be confirmed, the new ESRB rating provides concrete evidence that the collection is poised for a return to Nintendo platforms.
Atari’s involvement is notable, as it suggests the collection is being ported or re-published, potentially benefitting from improvements tailored to the capabilities of the Switch family of hardware. Since its initial launch, The Disney Afternoon Collection has been lauded for its preservation of gaming history, allowing a new generation of players to experience titles that contributed significantly to the golden age of platformers.
The continued interest in these games and their availability on modern platforms like the Nintendo Switch and eShop underscore the enduring appeal of quality retro gaming experiences. As anticipation builds within the gaming community, fans are encouraged to watch for official announcements from Atari and Nintendo regarding availability and any new features that may accompany the re-release.
For now, the confirmed ESRB rating signals that the beloved Disney Afternoon legacy will soon be accessible on Nintendo’s current and next-generation consoles.
