Disney Afternoon Collection: Switch Release Date SHOCK! + 2 New Games?!

Well, folks, dust off your controllers and prepare for a serious dose of nostalgia! The Disney Afternoon Collection, that glorious compilation of '90s gaming goodness, is *finally* making its way to the Nintendo Switch and... wait for it... the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2! And this isn't just a straight port, oh no. They've thrown in a couple of extra games to sweeten the deal.

Disney Afternoon Collection: Switch Release Date S...

For those who missed it the first time around (back in 2017 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One), the Disney Afternoon Collection is exactly what it sounds like: a loving remaster of some of the best games based on Disney's iconic afternoon cartoon block. We're talking *DuckTales*, *DuckTales 2*, *Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers*, *Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 2*, *Darkwing Duck*, and *TaleSpin*. All the classics, painstakingly brought back to life by the retro wizards at Digital Eclipse.

But here's the kicker: this Switch version, launching digitally on February 26, 2026, isn't just a port. We're getting *Goof Troop* and *Bonkers* added to the roster! That's right, eight titles in total! I remember sinking hours into *Goof Troop* back in the day, trying to solve those surprisingly tricky puzzles with my brother. This expanded collection is a serious win for anyone who grew up with these games.

Beyond the games themselves, you'll also get access to soundtracks, behind-the-scenes galleries (always a treat!), and those incredibly handy rewind features. Let's be honest, some of those old games were *tough*. Plus, Time Attack and Boss Rush modes will give veteran players a new way to challenge themselves. It's all there for a fresh, yet familiar experience.

And for the physical media lovers out there – and you know who you are – Disney is also releasing a physical edition of The Disney Afternoon Collection. This isn't just the game cartridge, mind you. We're talking two sticker sheets, eight retro milk caps (milk caps! I haven't seen those in ages!), and three collectible cards. Pre-orders are open now, though Disney says it will ship "at a later date."

So, mark your calendars, folks! February 26th is the day we get to relive our childhoods all over again. I know I'll be downloading this one immediately. In the meantime, if you want a reminder of what to expect, you can always revisit our original 7/10 review from 2017. But honestly, even with a slightly less-than-perfect score, the nostalgia factor alone makes this collection worth checking out.
