‘Disney Afternoon Collection’ ’90s Games to Launch on Nintendo Switch, Including ‘Bonkers’ and ‘Goof Troop’ 

1 week ago 7

Rejoice, Disney fans: the beloved ’90s classic “The Disney Afternoon Collection” will soon be available to play, Atari and Digital Eclipse announced Thursday.

The updated edition will launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on Feb. 26.

In addition to timeless favorites like “DuckTales,” the new collection will introduce two Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) classics for the first time since their debut: “Bonkers” and “Goof Troop.”

“Bonkers,” first released in 1994 and based off the animated Disney series of the same name, will let players navigate “six wacky platforming levels in Toontown filled with Easter eggs for Disney fans,” per the logline.

In one of game designer Shinji Mikami’s earliest titles, “Goof Troop,” first released in 1993, players can solve puzzles with Goofy and Max to attempt to rescue friends from a pirate island. 

The full lineup will include “DuckTales,” “DuckTales 2,” “Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers & Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2,” “TaleSpin” and “Darkwing Duck.” 

The collection will also feature a range of modern upgrades since the games first came out nearly 30 years ago. Players will now have the ability to correct mistakes by rewinding, as well as the option to save their progress. Each game will have new speed-running modes, Time Attack and Boss Rush, with online leaderboards. Fans can enjoy the original soundtracks from the eight games with a music player that will be available in a new virtual museum-like gallery feature, which will also feature behind-the-scenes materials and Disney vault archival content curated by historians from Digital Eclipse. 

Fans can pre-order “Disney Afternoon Collection” today on Ataria.com ahead of the Feb. 26 digital release. The physical Switch and Switch 2 editions, featuring game cartridges, sticker sheets, postcards, milk caps and a reversible cover, will ship in May.
