Atari and Digital Eclipse announced today that The Disney Afternoon Collection will launch on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on February 26. The updated, exclusive collection for Switch and Switch 2 adds two new titles, bringing the total to eight Disney-themed classic games, available on Nintendo consoles for the first time since their original NES and SNES releases in the ’80s and ’90s.
The Disney Afternoon Collection for Switch and Switch 2 introduces two SNES classics – Bonkers and Goof Troop – returning for the first time since their debut, alongside timeless favorites, including DuckTales, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, and more.
The Disney Afternoon Collection arrives 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.
