Capcom's The Disney Afternoon Collection could finally be getting a Nintendo Switch release nine years later as an ESRB rating emerges with a new publisher.

Capcom isn't a stranger to re-release collections, given that pretty much everything that Mega Man and Ace Attorney have breathed on have since received a collection (except Mega Man Legends, the series that's wildly expensive to obtain).

One of its most surprising collections was 2017's The Disney Afternoon Collection, developed by Digital Eclipse, which compiled six NES games by Capcom based on a number of Disney cartoons like DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers – with DuckTales being one of the best NES games ever made.

But bizarrely despite being NES games, Nintendo platforms never got the collection at all, despite releasing one month after the Nintendo Switch. That may finally change in the near future, as the ESRB has released a rating for The Disney Afternoon Collection for both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. On top of that, it lists Digital Eclipse owner Atari as the publisher instead of Capcom – which published the original collection.
