The Disney Afternoon Collection Reviews
All in all, The Disney Afternoon Collection is something I would recommend to those who either grew up with these games or just enjoys them in general. Since they are straight ports, if you didn't like them before, nothing in this collection is going to change your mind. I wish I could give it a higher score because of my love for Disney, and I probably would have if these games were fully remastered, but the fact of the matter is you are more than likely only going to be playing DuckTales and DuckTales 2.
The Disney Afternoon Collection turns out to be a well-polished compilation of some iconic all-times classic of the NES. With a variety of new tools and interesting bonuses, it offers an overall view on Capcom and Disney's legendary partnership.

The Disney Afternoon Collection takes six classic Capcom retro games and offers them to you in a delightful package that will remind you of better days. Lovely.
The Disney Afternoon Collection bundles six NES-era, Capcom-developed Disney games into a compelling, inexpensive, and very fun little package.
One more time Digital Eclipse did an excelent job adapting classic games to modern platforms. The Disney Afternoon Collection has very good emulation and extras that retro game fans should try.

It's pure nostalgia, but if you loved these games as a kid, there's just enough new features to bring you back to it again—and they hold up well enough if you have someone you'd like to introduce these games to for the first time
Overall, this collection is accurate to a fault, packed with some additional goodies and reminds us how absolutely insane we all must have been when we played these games the first time around. Bravo to Digital Eclipse and Capcom for taking a chance on some classics.
The second collection created by Frank Cifaldi has once again fulfilled hopes placed by gamers. Nearly perfect emulation with historical extras makes The Disney Afternoon Collection the perfect proposition for fans of old games.

A great collection of games that are only improved further by the rewind feature.
This flashback collection hits right in the nostalgia, with good reason. The games have stood the test of time and come out victorious, with a few minor hiccups along the way. Capcom includes a great set of extras including Time Attack and Boss mode and music and art galleries for the enthusiast.
In the end, regardless of the varying degrees of innovation, The Disney Afternoon Collection still represents some of the most treasured third party titles of yesteryear, and solid proof that not every licensed game should turn out to be disappointing garbage. That's a lesson today's developers should learn, just as this collection should be checked out by nostalgic adults and curious kids alike.
For $19.99, you're getting four stellar games, one OK game, and one game probably not worth playing, except for only once, so you can say you've played it.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a fine assortment of NES Disney Classics. None of these games reach the pinnacle of 8-bit greatness, but they're all enjoyable.
The Disney Afteroon Collection is an act of faith, but also a dip in the nostalgia of the '80s and' 90s. Only one half of the products present in the collection, however, deserves to be gnawed to the bottom, but the inclusion of rewind and time trial allow you to have rewarding and pleasant solutions of gameplay.

This is an excellent representation of what made these games so beloved and enjoyed, not to mention frustrating for gamers.
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.
Aside from the framerate issues, The Disney Afternoon Collection is overall a very pleasant experience and a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a taste of nostalgia.
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.
