The Disney Afternoon Collection, CAPCOM’s acclaimed compilation of iconic 8-bit Disney platformers, is officially set to launch on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on February 26, 2025.
Originally released in 2017 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this collection is now expanding to Nintendo’s latest gaming platforms, bringing with it both nostalgia and new features for fans and collectors alike. This revitalized package features beloved classics such as Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2, DuckTales, DuckTales 2, Darkwing Duck, and TaleSpin—all originally celebrated for their tight platforming and vibrant, cartoon-inspired visuals on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Notably, the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 version introduces two additional titles: Bonkers and Goof Troop, which were not included in the initial console releases.
This expansion makes the Nintendo edition the most comprehensive version to date. In addition to its impressive library of games, The Disney Afternoon Collection arrives with specialized modes designed for both newcomers and returning players.
Enhanced features include Boss Rush and Time Attack modes, allowing players to challenge themselves against classic bosses or race through stages to set record times.
The user-friendly rewind function also returns, giving players the option to instantly reverse mistakes and tackle tough sections with ease.
Additionally, Museum mode offers an in-depth look at development art, music, and historical context—a feature widely praised in CAPCOM’s previous collections. CAPCOM representatives clarified in an official statement: “We are excited to bring The Disney Afternoon Collection to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, complementing our prior launches and offering the definitive way for fans to experience these timeless adventures.” The Disney Afternoon Collection’s arrival on Switch and Switch 2 underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to expanding its classic game offerings via the eShop and providing access to core retro franchises to both seasoned gamers and new audiences.
With the addition of Goof Troop and Bonkers, this release also marks the first time these titles are presented alongside the series’ other platformers in a single package. Pre-orders for The Disney Afternoon Collection are now available on the Nintendo eShop, and the digital release is scheduled for February 26, 2025.
With its robust feature set and expanded game lineup, CAPCOM and Disney promise an essential collection for fans of platforming classics and nostalgia-driven gaming alike.
