6 More Classic NES Games Could Be Coming to Switch & Switch 2 Very Soon

Reddit user @SemiLazyGamer spotted a new ESRB rating that could indicate a new collection of NES titles headed to the Switch and Switch 2. Specifically, it looks like The Disney Afternoon Collection has been rated for Switch and Switch 2. As its title might suggest, the rating is E for Everyone. The developer is listed as Atari, who likely worked on the Switch port for this collection that was previously released for PC, Xbox One, and PS4 back in 2017. Though a rating like this does suggest the game will be released on Switch and Switch 2 at some point, it hasn’t been officially announced as of now.

This collection brings together 6 classic NES games from the 90s. They were inspired by The Disney Afternoon, an animated series popular during that same time period. While we don’t yet have details or an official announcement for a Switch/Switch 2 port, we do know what was included in the collection’s original 2017 release. It is likely that a Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 port would have the same lineup, so this gives us a good idea of what we can expect.

At that time, The Disney Afternoon Collection featured the following games, which were developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Capcom:

Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers (1990)
Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 (1993)
Darkwing Duck (1992)
DuckTales (1989)
DuckTales 2 (1993)
TaleSpin (1991)

The majority of these games are classic pixel art platformers, though Darkwing Duck is a shooter. When the collection arrived for PS4 and Xbox One, it got mostly positive reviews from critics. So if you enjoy classic Disney and NES platformers, this may be one to look out for.

Given that the collection itself has been rated, it’s likely this would arrive as a standalone purchase for the Switch and Switch 2, rather than as part of the Nintendo Switch Online Classics library. None of these games are currently available through that service, though, so when and if it does arrive, it will add some new options for retro gaming fans on Switch and Switch 2. Until Nintendo actually confirms this collection is headed to its modern consoles, we’ll just have to wait for more details.
