Announced today, Digital Eclipse revealed that it will be releasing The Disney Afternoon Collection on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms next month on February 26th. This version of the game will include the same six titles as before alongside two new additions in Goof Troop and Bonkers. Neither of these Disney titles were available on the NES, but instead launched on the SNES in 1993 and 1994. Other than the addition of Goof Troop and Bonkers, the collection is the same as the versions already available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Why These Disney Games Are Important
While it might be easy to overlook these two new Disney games included with The Disney Afternoon Collection, they’re actually quite important to gaming history. Goof Troop, in particular, was one of the first titles that the famed game creator Shinji Mikami worked on. Mikami, who designed Goof Troop, would go on to create the Resident Evil series only three years later, which has since become one of the biggest survival-horror franchises ever. As such, to be able to revisit Goof Troop in this way will allow fans to check out Mikami’s early work more easily than ever.
