The Disney Afternoon Collection has finally arrived on Nintendo hardware…and it only took nine years since its 2017 debut! Thanks to publisher Atari, these si
This flashback collection hits right in the nostalgia, with good reason. The games have stood the test of time and come out victorious, with a few minor hiccups along the way. Capcom includes a great set of extras including Time Attack and Boss mode and music and art galleries for the enthusiast.
A ticket back in time, this collection will unfuzz memories of days where pixels weren't stylistic, and theme songs were the catchiest.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a pretty solid compilation of six classic Disney NES games. The extras included are a nice touch, even if some of the gallery pictures are skewed more toward Ducktales. But the time trial and boss rush features are great for veterans to see how they stack up to the rest of the world, while the rewind feature is great for younger players. Plus you can play two rare NES games without shelling out hundreds of dollars for the original carts.
Wake up and smell the 90s everyone! This game collection covers the licensed games of the 4 cartoons I used to watch from 3pm to 5pm every day after Grade 2. But back in the day (and really, still most of the time today) licensed games are terrible, because they’re not developers’ passion projects, or they’re studio cash-ins with low budgets and quick deadlines. Well Capcom and Disney did something special during the late 80s to early 90s: they made incredible licensed games. I wrote one of my detailed Retro Review Series articles about DuckTales for the NES, but it goes over the history between Capcom and Disney during the gaming era of this collection, and all the games they brought out. Found here: Not only does this 6 game collection feature some of the best games for the original Nintendo, but it does so with lots of love, and a style that’ll make you wanna watch Saved By The Bell, and listen to New Kids On The Block.
The Disney Afternoon Collection makes its way to Switch 2, with a physical edition that is exactly the kind of package collectors want.
Following the success of Mega Man Legacy Collection, Capcom put together yet another great collection of 6 NES gems. Here we have a bunch of 8-bit Disney games so get your homework done, tune in to channel 3, and let's check them out.
Alright, Emulation Nation, I get it, you play old games on your PC for free. You downloaded no$gba when you were in middle school and everyone started calling you a hacker. You love to talk smack about how Switch games look better on your Ayn Odin 3, and you constantly insult Nintendo’s online retro catalogue because of course you do. Everyone claims they’re down for game preservation, but I’d say 80% of you just don’t want to pay for games. I get it: finding those classic titles with...
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a compilation of eight games that feature beloved Disney TV characters from the '80s and '90s in fun-filled adventures.
It’s bewildering that this collection of games, birthed on Nintendo consoles, took nearly a decade to find its way back home on the Switch/Switch 2. Now that it’s here with an additional two SNES games (one of which is really good), this iteration of the Disney Afternoon Collection feels more rounded-out, expanding what genres are represented, and I applaud including more of Disney’s licensed back catalog. This is as workmanlike a collection can get without being a straight-up ROM dump, a la that Wii copy of Super Mario All-Stars on my shelf. That said, it’s been a pleasant trip dow…
All of these bright colours and familiar faces gave me such a jolt of nostalgia I could practically taste the sugar-coated cereal and Ring-Pops as I yearned for the days when controllers only had a d-pad and two face buttons. I now find that I’m left wanting a second compendium from the SNES/Mega Drive era, comprising similarly nostalgic gems like The Lion King, The Jungle Book and Aladdin. But to be left wanting more is never a bad thing, so long as you feel there’s value to what you paid for, and with this 6-game collection and its quality finish, there can be no doubt about that. So grab your space-hopper, your SodaStream drink and a pack of Space Raiders and get stuck into your childhood, all over again!
Capcom's partnership with Disney back in the 8-bit era led to some really fantastic games, six of which have been brought back via The Disney Afternoon Collection. On top of making these often difficult games more accessible with a rewind feature, also having competitive game options like Time Attack and Boss Rush make The Disney Afternoon Collection a worthwhile trip back to the past.
As an important piece of gaming preservation, I’d almost say that Disney Afternoon Collection is worth picking up just for the DuckTales and Chip ‘n Dale sequels, but the truth is nearly every game deserves to be played at least once. For now I can only dream of Adventures in Magic Kingdom, Little Mermaid, and Mickey Mousecapade as DLC.
The Disney Afternoon Collection may not have the consistency of Capcom's previous work with the Eclipse Engine, thanks to its library varying in quality. But it is just as reverent and breezy, and the addition of the Rewind feature helps ease the journey into the past. If you were a fan of even a few of these games, you owe it to yourself to see them presented so respectfully for a modern audience.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a solid collection of classic games from the Disney Afternoon television block. The additions are great too from modern quality-of-life updates, galleries for the art and music, along with time attack and boss rush modes. Even if you don't like all the games like me, there is still a lot of good here even if you end up mainly playing DuckTales, like me.
All in all, The Disney Afternoon Collection is something I would recommend to those who either grew up with these games or just enjoys them in general. Since they are straight ports, if you didn't like them before, nothing in this collection is going to change your mind. I wish I could give it a higher score because of my love for Disney, and I probably would have if these games were fully remastered, but the fact of the matter is you are more than likely only going to be playing DuckTales and DuckTales 2.
With three hits and three duds from Capcom/Disney years that you might remember with varying levels of fondness, the Disney Afternoon Collection is clearly aimed at children of the 90s. I have trouble seeing its appeal to anyone else. But if vintage duck-based platformers are your thing, grab a Capri Sun and a handful of Gushers and invite your friends over to play.
The problem with the package is that it’s difficult to argue that any of the games in it a bona fide classics. For the most part, they’re enjoyable, but we’re also not talking about games in the leagues of the original Sonic the Hedgehog or Super Mario Bros, Mega Man, Castlevania or Metroid. DuckTales and its sequel come close, but even then you’re probably better off going with the modern DuckTales, which does a wonderful job of capturing the nostalgia while, at the same time, modernising the game to make it enjoyable for a new audience. It’s a good package of entertaining games, a…
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a well compiled anthology of Capcom’s classic Disney games. There’s been a lot of care put into the collection and the extra modes have been implemented very well, but there are a couple of issues that could do with ironing out, such as the slowdown in certain sections. It’ll be a blast of nostalgia for those who played the games when they were first released almost 30 years ago, as well as fun for a newer audience.
The Disney Afternoon Collection finally arrives on Nintendo Switch & Switch 2, with additional games and more!
