An Overlooked Disney Collection From Digital Eclipse Has Been Rated For Switch

Oh wonderful! And about time! Maybe we'll get a Disney's Magical Quest trilogy at some point??

DuckTales Remastered would also have been nice but very happy with the original coming to switch (finally)

Wow, this one was released around the same time the switch 1 was released. I always wondered why it wasn't released on the switch. And now after almost 10 years it is finally coming home.

Nice! Was just thinking about NES Ducktales specifically the other day and how it's weird it still isn't available on Switch. I've never actually played it but have always heard great things and as a platforming aficionado, its impact can't be overstated. Shovel Knight and Cranky Kong probably wouldn't have their pogo bounce moves if not for this game.I would much prefer the HD remake but this is still really cool. Can't wait to experience it for myself for the first time.

The moon theme is overrated, though. I said what I said.

Finally! Why did it take 9 years?

Wow! Peeps have been clamoring for a Switch port of this for years. I’d gladly pick up a physical release. 🦆

Very nice collection of games that are actually good.

@JohnnyMind Indeed! 🥳🎉🥂

Ugh, I remember being bummed about this snubbing the Switch back then. These games belong on a Nintendo system.

So glad to see this rectified now. Better late than never. I’d just rather play these on the 2 though, along with the other classic Disney games like Aladdin, Lion King, and Jungle Book.

this wasnt already on switch?

These were some peak Disney games! Might just get this collection!

If they had included QuackShot, I'd definitely get it. I loved that game as a child.

I already have this on Xbox, but that's pretty neat

@TheWokesterGamer For some odd reason no it was not and for nearly a decade too.

@MarzoriuM I understand why it skipped the Wii U. However, it should have been released for the 3DS, and then later on Switch after the Switch proved to be successful.

I also want Mickey Mania and Toy Story on modern gen consoles.

I will definitely be there for the Switch release. Just keep a physical away from LRG.

I just wish Disney were more open to let companies re-release their older games. My Switch would love some Magical Quest, Castle of Illusion and Mickey's Speedway USA.

EDIT: Also, other than Disney, who has the rights for a re-release of Mickey Mania and an obscure Japan-only game for the Super Famicom called Donald Duck no Mahō no Bōshi? The latter was published by Epoch, but I don't know if after they stopped releasing videogames they kept the code/rights to their games.

This is wonderful, wonderful news. Now if we could only get Konami to release Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on Switch...my dreams would be complete.

Looks cool,
but I want a collection fo Mickey Mouse games from the 16 bit era.

@the_beaver

"If they had included QuackShot, I'd definitely get it. I loved that game as a child."

Well, that would perhaps complicate things as:
The "The Disney Afternoon Collection" contains 6 (8bit) NES games made by Capcom.
QuackShot is a (16 bit) Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis game made by Sega.

I do agree a rerelease of Quackshot would be most welcome though. By itself or in a collection.

This was one of the collections that skipped NS1 where I always wondered why. If it really comes to NS and NS2, I'll buy it on the latter.

I can't believe it took them so long to bring this over. I just thought this was never going to happen, if it in fact does

Weird that atari is publishing the rerelease when capcom did the original release 9 years ago.

Oh this is awesome! I was a gifted a PS4 and this and symphony of the night are the only reasons I plugged it in. Would love to finally take this thing with me on the go.

@IronMan30
It'll probably just be for the Switch, but have some neat improvements on the Switch 2.

Excited to see this! I wonder if we'd be able to get the Switch's NES controllers to work with it.

Something I forgot to say in my initial comment is that I could very well see this collection getting officially announced in a February Nintendo Direct. Would be a cool stealth launch game with a physical edition coming later.

Then the Nintendo Direct narrator says, "And..." as the screen fades to black.

Fade in on DuckTales Remastered.

...maybe that's a long shot, but a man can dream.

@JohnnyMind @Not_Soos @MarzoriuM It will be this collection’s 9th anniversary in April. 😊

Oooooooooooooh!!!!!

@Scapetti A Disney's Magical Quest trilogy collection would be amazing. I'm sort of surprised. I'm sort surprised that DuckTales Remastered didn't come over early in the Switch's life since it was on the WiiU. Maybe there will be a Re-Remaster

Oooh. Chip and Dale was a favourite of my brother and I on the NES. Still have the cart!

Better late than never…?

Indeed, most odd this has been absent from NINTENDO platforms for so long. I guess when it came out/was being developed was the WII U era, so maybe not much incentive for them to bother...but that they didn't do it for the Switch is odd.

Freakin’ FINALLY!

Eh... I'm not sure I trust DE with these games. DE is notorious for adding significant input lag, and that would make most of these games borderline unplayable.

Physical release on Switch possibility?

I look forward to playing this once LRG's physical copy is announced/shipped in a couple of years.

Goodnight, everybody!

why did it take almost 9 years for a collection of games that were originally made for a Nintendo console to release on Switch?

Not sure that this is overlooked, I've seen people posting on here for ages asking for it. Although maybe the posts did start drying up around 2022.

For a moment i tought we were getting a switch port of Ducktales Remastered,would love so much to have it on Switch,alongside a Ducktales 2 remastered.Alan Young passed away,but the new Scrooge voice actor is very good (not David Tennant,he was a guest star just for the reboot,the actual new Scrooge voice actor can be heard in Kingdom Hearts 3)

The fact that this wasn’t already on Switch in 2017 is absolutely baffling, it makes no sense. I wish someone would ask the original publisher why they chose to ignore the console with the largest install base and the ideal demographic.

This would've popped off on Switch in 2017.

In 2025? Eh.

I hope the people holding out for it on a Nintendo platform are happy.

Ill love to revisit Ducktales and Chip n dale... I played those hard on my NES days...

Great games and a nice collection. If my memory serves me right I think I have this on Steam. Might have to double check that. Regardless I’m still interested in getting this for Switch 2.

Finally. This was an ideal match for the Switch and any Nintendo platformer fan from the NES days.

"...life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg"

@DwaynesGames indeed, unbelievable it is almost 10 years ago. Time flies!

Has anyone played that Disney kart racer set in Walt Disney World? I played through it last year, if you're a fan of the Disney parks, it's cool as heck, if a bit janky. Racing through Big Thunder Mountain, man. Good stuff.

@the_beaver Sega made a line of Disney games themselves.

This took obscenely too long. Still amazed that the DuckTales remaster (and while I'm thinking about it, the Monkey Island special editions) never made it to a Switch after alllll that time.
