Err... yes there is. It was done by Virgin (same as the Mega Drive version).

Welp. I stand corrected. Interestingly, the video above is based on the SNES version and not the Sega version.

 

[entremet]

If this sells well hopefully there's a chance we may get a second collection of:
Bonkers
Goof Troop
Aladdin
Lion King
Mickey's Magical Quest
Mickey's Magical Quest 2

I'd say Mickey Mania as well but I don't think that was Capcom, was it? What other Disney games were on the SNES? I know Magical Quest had a third Japam-only game.

Lion King ain't Capcom.

 

[tebunker]

I am interested in this collection for sure, but Little Nemo is still sitting in purgatory and honestly that was one of the best Purple Box era Capcom titles ever.

 

[swit]

Err... yes there is. It was done by Virgin (same as the Mega Drive version).

nah, Virgin's one is a different game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6at99d4aH0
We're talking about near flawless NES pirate port of Capcom's Aladdin.

 

[GitarooMan]

It was good!

I was surprised when I rented it.

I know it's not terrible, that was sort of in jest. But it's even easier than something like Rescue Rangers, which I sit down and beat in an hour when I was a kid.

Lion King wasn't a Capcom game, so you can count that out.

People expect too much for these older games to keep on being brought back when ever new tech arrives. Like I commented to someone else, I vastly prefer a Duck Tales Remastered level of effort put into these games coming back instead of their original states. Modern gamers would be much more interested in them if they had extra effort put into their return.

It's not about catering to modern gamers, it's about maintaining access to the medium's heritage. And preservation is the main goal of Frank Cifaldi, the head of this project.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I find the lack of The Little Mermaid incredibly annoying.

I guess movie licenses were excluded considering this is the Afternoon collection.

 

[Santiako]

Great NES games yes, but if you truly want these titles to return and be accepted by modern gamers, giving them a chance to come back as more modern updated titles or even preferably newer titles would be far more beneficial.
Nostalgia will be good for a few, but we need Disney games to come back for the masses, back when these games were at the top with other AAA titles.

I don't care if "modern gamers" want to accept these games or not. All attemps at remaking or updating (like the terrible Duck Tales) these titles to "modern standards" results in worse games, so I'm all for re releasing these great games with some neat adds (boss rush, etc).

 

[Forsythia]

That's a great collection! Can't wait to play Darkwing Duck again!

 

[Piccoro]

Don't know if it was already asked, but which of these games support 2-player co-op?

I guess just the two Chip and Dale games?

 

[Tavernacle12]

Lion King ain't Capcom.

It wasn't?
Ugh, just checked and I guess not. I assumed it was like Aladdin with Capcom on SNES and Virgin on SEGA.
So is it just Bonkers, Aladdin, Goof Troop, and the three Magical Quest games for Capcom Disney on SNES?

 

[GitarooMan]

I am interested in this collection for sure, but Little Nemo is still sitting in purgatory and honestly that was one of the best Purple Box era Capcom titles ever.

Yeah, that is better than all these games, probably one of my Top 5 NES games. At least I have the cart when I feel like dragging out the NES.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Welp. I stand corrected. Interestingly, the video above is based on the SNES version and not the Sega version.

Yeah, from what I recall the Amiga version was based on the Mega Drive one, but the NES and Gameboy versions were kinda different (never played the SNES one so I dunno how it compares). I swear that there was a Gameboy Color version many years later as well.

nah, Virgin's one is a different game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6at99d4aH0
We're talking about near flawless NES pirate port of Capcom's Aladdin.

Huh, interesting. Pirates have certainly made some very odd ports to the NES over the years - often to the point that they seem like too much effort just to be a cashgrab.

This isn't really being aimed at "modern gamers" (which I assume means a player who didn't experience these games when they originally released). That being said, these are some of the most accessible NES games released.

 

[Seven Force]

Aladdin NES is definitely a legitimate release. The GBC version is a port of that version (Which itself was based of the Genesis version) while the GBA port was based on the SNES version, but had new levels added.

 

[Richie]

Rewind feature ALONE makes this a must have. Such a godsend for old school games, fell in love with it ever since trying it in Rare Replay. Should be a system wide feature for BC services across all platforms.

I'll definitely own this down the line.

 

[Robin64]

Don't know if it was already asked, but which of these games support 2-player co-op?

I guess just the two Chip and Dale games?

Aye.

It's a shame that they couldn't include the 2-player co-op Duck Tales ROM hack, where player 2 plays as Darkwing.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Was Mickey Mousecapade a Capcom game?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Was Mickey Mousecapade a Capcom game?

Yes, but I believe it was developed by and published by Husdon in Japan.

 

[Conrad Link]

Awesome! But I'll be playing the Dragon's Trap remake on that day.

It's a shame they're both on the same date. >_< As much as fricking love the Duck Tales games, Disney can wait.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Was Mickey Mousecapade a Capcom game?

They published it in the US but it was developed by Hudson.

 

[Zia]

FYI, for the youngins, the trailer music is a chiptune ver of the actual Disney afternoon block theme:

https://youtu.be/l8wzYXd29t4

Hope that it's the main menu music.

 

[CorporateClown]

Really excited to play through some of these again. Haven't played chip n dale since I was a kid spending weekends with my cousin to play through it. I hope this does well so we can get an SNES collection.

If we do get SNES games, I wonder if it follow a theme. They could do movies like Aladdin, Lion King, Jungle Book, etc. But then I'd also want to see Mickey Mania and Goof Troop...

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Oh man, all those classic games that originally released on Nintendo systems now releasing on everything but! Makes sense.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I have intense nostalgia for NES TaleSpin even if its mediocre, I'm in!
...when half price a few months later.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Aladdin NES is definitely a legitimate release. The GBC version is a port of that version (Which itself was based of the Genesis version) while the GBA port was based on the SNES version, but had new levels added.

There's a legit one and a pirate one. The legit one is based on Virgin's Genesis/MD version (as you said), and the bootleg version is apparently a really solid port of Capcom's SNES game.

 

[Reddaye]

I squealed and fell out my chair. Day one no doubt.

 

[woopWOOP]

It's no Disney Afternoon Remastered, but sure that's a pretty awesome package. Just Ducktales 2 and Darkwing Duck makes this worthwhile for me.

Weird there's no Nintendo release tho considering they're all NES games.

 

[Brandon F]

Oh man, all those classic games that originally released on Nintendo systems now releasing on everything but! Makes sense.

It is a strange irony that both the Switch and 3DS aren't getting it.

 

[KingBroly]

hmm...

I'll get it on PC, but it's disappointing that it's not coming to Switch or 3DS since it's simply just NES ports.

 

[Dishwalla]

Holy shit that's awesome. Can't wait.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

This is like weird dream coming true!

 

[Lupin the Third]

Everyone still missing the page 6 mod post about getting banned if you mention a certain portable home console? Might want to edit your posts, folks...

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I remember reading that the Megaman Legacy Collection had some issues when it launched. Did they ever patch it?

 

[RedToad64]

Having only played the original Ducktales, I can say that I am really looking forward to this!

 

[Zia]

I remember reading that the Megaman Legacy Collection had some issues when it launched. Did they ever patch it?

The PC version is just about perfect (there are still claims of input lag but I did a side-by-side comparison and didn't notice such a thing) but apparently the 3DS version is kind of shit.

 

[Seven Force]

I remember reading that the Megaman Legacy Collection had some issues when it launched. Did they ever patch it?

Yeah. Some of the sound issues still persist on PS4, though. I've heard it's not as bad on XB1.

 

[Piccoro]

Aye.

It's a shame that they couldn't include the 2-player co-op Duck Tales ROM hack, where player 2 plays as Darkwing.

OK, thanks.

I doubt that they will include online multiplayer for just two games, but at least we can use 2-player SharePlay on PS4.

I remember reading that the Megaman Legacy Collection had some issues when it launched. Did they ever patch it?

Not only did they patch all major issues, they went as far as adding the Japanese roms of all 6 games on the latest patch.

 

[jshackles]

I've also added the relevant warnings to the OP and even edited the thread title to let people know.

 

[Struct09]

Looks great, I will very likely pick this up. The rewind feature will make revisiting these games much more bearable.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Oh, that's fine then. Hope they can pull it off nicely.

Not only did they patch all major issues, they went as far as adding the Japanese roms of all 6 games on the latest patch.

That's neat. Maybe it's finally time for me to buy it.

 

[evilromero]

I love the REWIND feature. Give me that shit in more classic game re-releases and we can be friends.

 

[RM8]

No N-Gage version? Man, I would have loved this on my N-Gage.

No but really, day one on PC! This is missing The Little Mermaid, though, that game was pretty great.

 

[Mugy]

I personally wanted to see a proper Ducktales Remastered HD treatment for those games. But good thing overall. Co-op Chip n' Dale was BANANS!

 

[Cormano]

Hopefully this will make the NES prices drop for Duck Tales 2 & Chip N Dale 2.

 

[Mbrill82]

Wow, this sounds great. I only ever played Ducktales as a kid so these are mostly new for me.

 

[smokeymicpot]

That's awesome. Would be sweet for a physical release but digital is just as awesome.

 

[Eusis]

Yeah, definitely gotta get this once it's convenient. Next month is crazy though.

 

[93xfan]

I'll buy this day one if they don't mess it up.
