Disney Afternoon Collection Animates Onto Switch Next Month

The Disney Afternoon Collection was a big hit when it landed on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation back in 2017. It contained six classic Disney titles from the NES and was surprisingly not released for the Switch when it debuted around the same time. That has now been rectified, and The Disney Afternoon Collection will be heading to Switch and Switch 2 on February 26th, 2026, with pre-orders open now. In more good news for retro fans, a physical edition from publisher Atari will ship in May 2026.

 

The collection will also feature two new titles, Goof Troop and Bonkers, both released on the SNES, as well. Master retro archivists Digital Eclipse compiled the collection, which includes lots of extras to dive deeper into the games beyond the games. Some include 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.

 

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.

I’ve been interested in computers ever since I was young, which is why I pursued a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Now, armed with my passion for both retro gaming and computer engineering, I’m excited to embark on new adventures in the world of technology, where I hope to merge my interests and make meaningful contributions. https://www.instagram.com/Aeon https://twitter.com/FencerDarkwind
