Priced at ¥2070 (approximately $13-15) in Japan, North American gamers can expect pricing around $15-20. Developer Digital Eclipse has enhanced this re-release with two exclusive SNES titles that weren’t included in the original 2017 version.

Modern Gaming Features
Digital Eclipse packed this collection with quality-of-life improvements for contemporary players. The rewind function lets newcomers undo mistakes, while quick save options provide convenient checkpoints. Competitive gamers will appreciate Boss Rush and Time Attack modes featuring online leaderboards, though these extras don’t apply to the SNES titles. A Museum mode showcases concept art, music tracks, and behind-the-scenes Disney content. Visual enhancements include CRT filters for authentic retro aesthetics.
The ESRB rated the collection E for Everyone, noting mild fantasy violence and tobacco use. Perfect for portable gaming sessions, this Disney Afternoon Collection represents one of Capcom’s finest licensing achievements from the NES era.
