If you grew up racing home after school for The Disney Afternoon, this is big news.
Some of the most loved Disney video games of the early 1990s are finally returning to a Nintendo console, and for longtime fans, this release feels like a true celebration of that era.
The Disney Afternoon Collection launches digitally on February 26 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, with physical editions arriving at a later date. For fans of DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Chip ’n Dale, and more, this is a nostalgia-packed return to a golden age of Disney gaming.
Eight Classic Disney Games in One Legendary Collection
These games helped define a generation. Originally released in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they blended Disney animation with challenging, memorable gameplay that still holds up today.
The Disney Afternoon Collection includes eight iconic titles:
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
- DuckTales (1989)
- DuckTales 2 (1993)
- Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers (1990)
- Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 (1994)

- TaleSpin (1991)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)

The two SNES titles were not included in previous releases, making the Nintendo Switch version the most complete Disney Afternoon Collection to date.
Why These Games Still Matter
This collection is more than a bundle of classic games. It captures a moment when Disney Afternoon cartoons and video games felt inseparable.
Team Up for Adventure
Goof Troop and both Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers games feature cooperative gameplay. Friends can team up on the couch, solve puzzles, and work together to stop classic Disney villains.
Pogo Your Way to Riches
The DuckTales games remain legendary thanks to Scrooge McDuck’s pogo-cane attack. Players travel the globe, hunt for treasure, and bounce their way through unforgettable levels.
Go Totally Nuts
Bonkers puts players in the role of Bonkers D. Bobcat, solving cases across Toontown while tracking down the legendary Toon Treasures.
Take to the Skies
In TaleSpin, players pilot Baloo’s Sea Duck through side-scrolling aerial combat, dodging obstacles, upgrading the plane, and facing off against end-level bosses.
Let’s Get Dangerous
Darkwing Duck battles six of his most dangerous enemies, including Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Negaduck, leading to a final showdown with Steelbeak and F.O.W.L.

Why This Release Is a Big Deal for Disney Fans
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a love letter to a generation that grew up with Disney cartoons and classic console gaming.
For longtime fans, it’s a chance to relive afternoons spent with Scrooge McDuck, Darkwing Duck, and Chip ’n Dale. For newer players, it’s an opportunity to experience some of the best Disney-licensed games ever made.
