The Switch and Switch 2 ports get extra games, and they're not being added to this version.

I finally beat Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers without any save states or rewinds after 35 years of having gotten my butt handed to me by Fat Cat at the ripe age of 9. Totally worth it.

As a child i first played chip and dale games on a console called terminator 2 , that was sold in Romania at that time . Later i found out that that console and also the disks were not actually original nintendo products , but it is what it is and this is how most of us in eastern europe enjoyed nintendo games. Years later i can play these games again , and it brings me so much joy and nostalgia.

Ducktales - A masterpiece Rescue Rangers - Another masterpiece Talespin - Just a terrible shoot em up Darkwing Duck - An okay Mega Man like game with just spongey bosses Ducktales 2 - An underappreciated game. Maybe a little easy but a good follow up Rescue Rangers 2 - Very mid game, some cool levels but waaaaay too much dialogue. I will say the rewind feature is very cool feature that I wished more of these …

I grew up with these games and have a soft spot for this old school NES games. This was a no-brainer as a kid who grew up in the 90's.

Players who liked The Disney Afternoon Collection talk about nostalgic trip with beloved childhood games; those who didn't talk about missing games that are exclusive to Switch versions. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The Disney Afternoon Collection received mostly positive reviews on upon release, earning average scores of 78 out of 100 for the PC version, 76 out of 100 for the PlayStation 4 version, and 75 out of 100 for the Xbox One version from Metacritic. Many reviewers commented on the appeal of the collection being potentially limited to players familiar with games from the 8-bit era. There is also common consensus that TaleSpin is the weakest of the games due to its brutal difficulty. In his review for GameSpot, Jason D'Aprile called the collection "a refined time capsule that covers a very specific chapter in gaming history". He further elaborated that "while these games might not be anything to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everyone should only look to the anti-consumer move Capcom pulled of adding DRM years after the fact to their games SOLELY to prevent mods from running as to why they should NOT buy ANY Capcom games. DRM that not only blocks mods, but ALSO ruins performance and has allegedly even bricked Steam Decks. All to stop you from using mods because they consider mods cheating. Yes, fixing the FOV (which should be a slider in every PC game) is cheating. Changing the outfits your character wears is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played quite a bit of this game collection on a friend's steam account. I saw some news that they will bring out a new version on Switch and Switch 2 that will include two additional games. The first is Goof Troop, which is an excellent 2 player co-op SNES game (played the original), and Bonkers, which I never tried. It's very upsetting that these two games won't be available on the steam version. The least they could do for Steam is offer a DLC that adds the extra features and the two new…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Atari published Nintendo Switch version has 2 more games (Bonkers and Goof Troops) that won't come to other platforms (as stated on various websites). Genuinely disappointing since it would be as simple as switching publisher and pushing out an update (at least on Steam, not sure about Playstation or Xbox)

neutral · AI labelView post →if you got this and you're having trouble running it: Control Panel -> Programs and Features ( add or remove programs ) -> Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 redistributable ( both 64 and 32 bits ) -> REPAIR you're welcome, have fun! Digital Eclipse's usual emulation jankiness aside, the games are pretty fun. here's hoping we get a Disney Afternoon collection 2 eventually with the master system and snes games, those should've been here too but this is worth it if you get it on a sale.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been playing the Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch 2. It is very good. As you know, Goof Troop is an outstanding game, and very welcome in this compilation. I would like to also state that the SNES Bonkers game is underrated. Spectacular? No. But a solid Capcom SNES platform game.
positive · AI labelView post →A perfect collection of the best Disney games on the NES, and Talespin
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dont understand, from the time I bought this game in late 2019 till recently I had no issues playing this game. Now I cant get it to open up at all. This has been going on for at least 4 months now. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it so many times and still get get it to launch. Not sure if Disney pulled it from Capcom or what but very disapointing after having fun playing it for so long up till now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a collection of six of the best platforming games on the NES. Capcom had a knack for creating simple, charming and challenging platform games in the early 90s and these games are a fantastic showcase of everything the company did right. While the games are overly simplistic, they often have nuanced bits of challenge in them that require a little bit of effort to figure out. I like that the game includes controller instructions and the time attack mode and overall presentation is great.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You gotta know this!!! This is classic, damn it!!! The Disney Afternoon Collection is a great way to legally revisit NES-era classics. The collection includes six iconic games: both DuckTales games, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (including its sequel), TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck. It’s not just an emulation—it’s a full-on port with high-resolution support and modern aspect ratios, which is awesome for those old 8-bit hits. Some cool new features include Boss Rush and Time Attack modes—you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Angry Xbox fans who are outraged over Capcom’s decision to not bring the Marvel fighting game compilation over to their platform of choice would do well to remember they got a compilation in the Disney Afternoon Collection that Switch owners didn’t get. Sometimes that’s how the cookie crumbles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't recommend this UNLESS Capcom decides to do away with the DRM they're adding to their games because they now hate mods.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Right, so Capcom has officially become a worse company than Konami. How, you might ask? Simply put, Konami doesn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about you and your desires for a game franchise, but they at least let you play the games you've already bought, and even mod them as you please to extend the life of the game. Capcom has somehow decided that mods will ruin their reputation. I assume some hyper-religious useless twit of a corporate officer took offense to the various nude mods for RE 4. Twit: "Oh,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this again many years ago on Xbox when the Disney Afternoon Collection came out, along with Rescue Rangers 2, DuckTales 1 & 2, and Darkwing Duck. The music for these fans was really great, owing to Capcom. DuckTales is basically an unofficial mini Mega Man soundtrack at times (Moon Stage, Transylvania Stage, Mine Stage). Many of the themes from Darkwing Duck also sound like they come from Mega Man 3 specifically, like the ending theme (very bluesy).

positive · AI labelView post →AS a person who grew up with these games on the NES, this was a welcomed stroll down memory lane. Especially with the fact that these are not changed in any significant way, but just a fresh release of the original experience. Absolutely recommend this to anyone old enough to remember them, but also as a good reference to how games used to be.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Disney Ball torture collection These games are harder than dark souls, how hardcore have we been to play and enjoy this. Unreal. Something that was easy many years ago now feels way too hard to be enjoyable. Still the collection is done well, everything works and controls are as good as they can be.
