The Disney Afternoon Collection Reviews
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a perfect conversion of the originals, so if you are a fan of super hard retro gaming, this will be right up your street. For everyone else, the pure, unadulterated gameplay that goes into these titles should be the main hook.
While the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Disney Afternoon Collection features a wealth of 8- and 16-bit classics, its light amount of extra content makes this after-school escapade feel more like an elective than a requirement.
All in all, The Disney Afternoon Collection is a solid, well-made and dependable collection of some fun, old-school games. You get a lot of content for $20, and the presentation is quite nice. The games are almost untouched except for some minor Boss Rush features and a rewind button. Younger gamers might not be nostalgic for these games, but for anyone who remembers rushing home after school to catch the latest episode of their favorite show, this is a trip worth taking.
For $19.99, The Disney Afternoon Collection is a tad steep, but these games tend to fetch much higher prices individually on a NES cart. Capcom did go through the effort of boss rush and time attack modes to make them somewhat more enticing for people who might just emulate these, so there is some effort here. The real draw of this compilation is the nostalgia they exude to transport the user to a simpler time, or for gamer parents to share something from their childhood with their own children. It is very likely that one day when the license expires, Capcom and Disney will have to remove The Disney Afternoon Collection from PSN and Xbox Live, so anyone with even a passing interest with these games really should consider downloading them. With the exception of TailSpin, the games here have aged pretty well and show why Capcom has been around for so long.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a set of old school games packed with new secrets, rewind and pause mechanics while retaining their classic charm. This collection serves the purpose of going down the memory lane and playing some cult classics games that are hard to find and play legitimately.
The quality of The Disney Afternoon Collection port could be better, so as the suggested price. However, the six games that were chosen for this compilation are excellent, representing the best of their time. It's a collection suitable for kids and, above all, longtime fans.

The Disney Afternoon Collection is an object lesson for how game compilations should be developed, providing rock-solid adaptation to a new platform, respecting the material's historic context, and exercising restraint. It's one hell of a collection with great visuals, rich extras and challenging time attack modes.

It's a good package of entertaining games, and is presented beautifully, but it's also not essential.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is yet another fantastic six-pack of 8-bit Capcom classics.
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.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a competent celebration of Capcom's golden age with Disney.

When the original Disney Afternoon Collection was released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, it was surprising that the Switch was excluded. Classic platformers and adventure games are at home on Nintendo’s hybrid console, so the collection arriving on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 is awesome. Containing everything the original release offered, the new modes and games cement the package as a loving homage to quality Disney video games from one of Japan’s best studios.
Featuring a fun presentation and plenty of bonus features, The Disney Afternoon Collection has never been better than its new Switch and Switch 2 release.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is the kind of collection that can genuinely bring tears to the eyes of nostalgic players. Bringing together major classics from the beloved NES era while also adding two heavyweight Super Nintendo titles, this package feels like a true time capsule. More than just a compilation, it stands as a heartfelt gift for those who lived through (or want to experience) the golden age of Disney games in the 1990s. It’s a loving revival of titles that helped shape an entire generation and that, even decades later, still retain their charm, challenge, and unmistakable personality.

Disney Afternoon Collection feels right at home on the Switch, especially given that these were all Nintendo games when they first came out. The addition of Bonkers and Goof Troop are nice bonuses, but only if you really love one of these particular games. The rest of these games, however, are still great and essential for fans of Disney and NES platformers.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a brilliant bunch of Disney video games that are mostly well worth playing 30+ years later. Though some of the games stand out above others, they’re largely a blast to play, with the two new inclusions standing out as especially grand games that certainly deserve some additional spotlight. I hope Digital Eclipse and Atari find a way to get Bonkers and Goof Troop to the other platforms’ versions of The Disney Afternoon Collection, because they’ve really made this an essential gathering of retro classics.
An amazing collection of games that really taps into your nostalgia and is definitely worth downloading. Every game delivers charm, fun and at times a challenge graphically the 8bit charm is on maximum an the music throughout is sublime
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a fun and beautiful piece of retro NES nostalgia, showing that there was a time when tie-in games weren't something to be avoided.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a nostalgia trip worth taking, whether you're re-visiting or taking a lesson in history
The Disney Afternoon Collection makes it easy to re-live the part of the '90s that's worth re-living, i.e. the part that has doesn't involve neon shoelaces.
