Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch 2: Eight Retro Classics Recharged

On Switch 2, Capcom’s Disney Afternoon Collection delivers eight classic Disney games (six NES, two SNES) with Goof Troop and Bonkers added for SNES, plus a swift, nostalgic revival powered by a rewind feature, a music player, and visual options; TaleSpin and Darkwing Duck are tough but DuckTales and Rescue Rangers still shine, while the NES titles gain Time Attack and Boss Rush that the SNES versions don’t have.
