The Disney Afternoon Collection, Capcom’s beloved compilation of retro Disney platformers, has received an official ESRB rating for both the Nintendo Switch and the rumored Nintendo Switch 2.
This development suggests that fans will soon be able to experience these classic titles on modern Nintendo hardware, filling a conspicuous gap in the Switch’s library since the collection first launched for other platforms in 2017. Originally released in April 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, The Disney Afternoon Collection bundles six iconic games based on popular Disney animated series: DuckTales, DuckTales 2, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 2, TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck.
Developed by Digital Eclipse, the compilation has been praised for its faithful adaptations and added features such as rewind and save states, appealing to both nostalgic gamers and newcomers. As per the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), The Disney Afternoon Collection has been rated "E for Everyone" with content descriptors highlighting mild fantasy violence and use of tobacco.
According to the official rating summary, players will encounter classic action-platformer gameplay involving stunning enemies, using projectiles, and engaging in boss battles.
The summary also notes that certain games include depictions of larger bosses and boss rush modes, with one boss character holding a cigar, which accounts for the 'use of tobacco' content tag. The involvement of Digital Eclipse in the port underscores the collection’s commitment to quality.
Digital Eclipse has a proven track record for preserving and enhancing classic games across multiple platforms.
Notably, while Capcom has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Nintendo Switch ecosystem with various releases, The Disney Afternoon Collection was a notable omission—until now. This ESRB rating marks a significant milestone for fans who have long requested a Switch version.
Availability on both the Nintendo Switch and the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 will bring these timeless classics to a new generation of players, as well as to longtime Nintendo supporters eager to revisit their childhood favorites on portable hardware.
While an official release date and details regarding eShop availability remain to be announced, the ESRB certification is a reliable signal that news from Capcom or Nintendo could be imminent. With its roster of legendary Disney games and enhanced features, The Disney Afternoon Collection’s arrival on Nintendo Switch platforms will further strengthen the system’s impressive library of classic and retro titles—cementing Nintendo’s position as a destination for nostalgic and family-friendly gaming experiences.
