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

 <\/p>\n

The collection will also feature two new titles, Goof<\/strong> Troop<\/strong> and Bonkers<\/strong>, both released on the SNES<\/strong>, as well. Master retro archivists Digital<\/strong> Eclipse<\/strong> 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<\/strong> games feature Time Attack and Boss Rush speed-running modes with online leaderboards.<\/span><\/p>\n
