News:: Capcom announces 'Disney Afternoon Collection' with six 1080p retro classics

Well, this was unexpected! We know Capcom is focusing a lot on remasters and re-releases, but six NES classics have been dredged up and risen from their graves for a PC, PS4, and Xbox One collection.

That list includes Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 1 +2, DuckTales 1+2, Darkwing Duck, and TaleSpin. They'll sport 1080p HD visuals, boss rush, and time attack modes. There's also a "rewind" feature that lets you go back in time shortly for beginners, or folks who didn't grow up with retro platformers.

The biggest takeaway from this for me? It's easily the re-packaging of Rescue Rangers 2 and DuckTales 2, two games that were released at the tail-end of the NES' lifecycle, and were barely played even back in the day. The "Disney Afternoon Collection" is out on April 18 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One for $19.99. Since Nintendo still charges $5 for NES ROMs (that have no added features), it's cheaper than the Virtual Console.
