Get ready for some thrilling news that might just spark your nostalgia! The beloved Disney Afternoon Collection, which many fans thought was missing from the Nintendo Switch lineup, is making its much-anticipated debut on both the Switch 1 and Switch 2 eShop. Originally released in 2017 on various platforms but curiously absent from Nintendo's offerings, this collection is finally set to arrive after recent hints from an ESRB rating. As of now, a listing has surfaced on the Japanese eShop, confirming its upcoming availability.
Earlier today, VGC highlighted this exciting new listing, revealing that the collection will be priced at 2,300 yen (approximately £11 or $14), although Western prices may vary slightly higher. Additionally, there’s a sweet 10% discount for those who pre-order, with an official release date set for February 26, 2026. While it’s not yet available in other regions, it’s only a matter of time before we see it pop up globally.
What makes this release particularly special is the inclusion of two games that have never been re-released before: "Goof Troop" from 1993 and "Bonkers" from 1994. This addition is sure to excite fans who have longed for these classic titles to be accessible on modern consoles.
Here’s the complete list of games included in the collection for both Switch versions, featuring their NES or SNES formats:
- Bonkers (NEW)
- Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers
- Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2
- Darkwing Duck
- DuckTales
- DuckTales 2
- Goof Troop (NEW)
- TaleSpin
This array of nostalgic titles promises to deliver hours of fun and fond memories for gamers of all ages. We’ll keep you updated as soon as Digital Eclipse or publisher Atari provides more details about the official release.
