Nearly a decade after it originally released, The Disney Afternoon Collection will finally hit Nintendo platforms next week with its launch on Switch 2 and Switch. Fans had originally been clamoring to see the package back in 2017, and Digital Eclipse was finally able to make it happen.
We recently had a chance to speak with Chris Kohler, editorial director at Digital Eclipse, to learn more about The Disney Afternoon Collection on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. Not only will Nintendo players be getting the entire release, but two new games have been added as well – making this the definitive version.
Here’s our full discussion:
[Let’s Talk] Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics impressions
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
There was a big addition to Nintendo Switch Online this week, which was the Virtual Boy. Many years after the hardware’s original release – arguably the biggest failure in Nintendo’s history – it’s back and you can play select games right now – sort of.
With most classic systems – be it the NES or GameCube – you can play as soon as you download the relevant app. With the Virtual Boy, however, Nintendo has been promoting the purchase of an accessory – either a dedicated option that replicates the original system or a cardboard alternative. This is because the hardware was originally made for stereoscopic 3D.
Have you experienced Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics yet, or do you not have any interest? If you’ve played the games, what are your impressions? Let us know in the comments.

Physical vs. digital games on Nintendo Switch 2 – advantages and disadvantages
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
It’s 2026, and with each passing year, physical media is phased out just a little bit more – which is why it’s so important that we try to preserve it! Of all three major video game companies, Nintendo has generally made the best effort to preserve its own physical media – with just one exception. Indeed, despite rising manufacturing costs, most of Nintendo’s first and second party offerings are available physically on Switch 2 with no strings attached. And even though that should be kind of a baseline expectation at this point, it’s refreshing to see at least some companies trying to sell physical media. So today, we’re talking about the advantages and disadvantages of physical and digital media, and of course going over the dreaded Game-Key Cards while we’re at it.
