1. DuckTales 1 & 2
In both games, you play as Scrooge McDuck collecting treasures from around the world. The controls are very easy to memorize. Most bosses are easy except for D-1000 whose the final boss of the second game. There's some great level designs. Some of your allies does help you in some way. Most of them just tell you either go save someone or a clue what to do.
Honestly both of them are truly amazing platformers. Scrooge hopping around on his cane is easily one of the most fun you ever have. You do have the option to leave the level but you must find Launchpad. He appears in set locations that are usually safe. The story is not as much told in the original.
I also like the soundtracks of both games. There's some clever game mechanics at work. Yes it can be a little easy to get lost especially in Transylvania. Keep in mind, there's two bosses in that level. But you need to complete all the levels before going back there to finish the game. DuckTales series on this console is surprisingly great for licensed games.
2. Chip 'n Dale 1 & 2
In both games, you play as Chip or Dale or both since they're coop. Yes you can play both of them with someone else through out the entire games. The controls are also very easy to memorize. I think the actual mechanics are actually easier. It quickly becomes addicting with even easier level designs. The boss fights can be somewhat fun.
There is some great music in both games too. I do agree the second one isn't as good but still a great game. You can throw a couple of things at enemies. Sometimes you need to pay attention to get further in some parts. Chip & Dale plays the same exact same. But there is some clever level designs. Also you have to pay a set level set.
Both of them are short games you kinda wish were a bit longer. I am not kidding, they're a lot of fun to play. Honestly you should quickly pick up what to do. One particular boss can be difficult to beat. It so happens to be the final boss of Chip 'n Dale 2. These are very straight forward games that you can never truly get bored of.
3. Darkwing Duck
Darkwing Duck is similar to Capcom's Mega Man series on the same console. Obviously there's some clear differences. Like Mega Man series, you can choose which levels to play in any order. At a particular point, you will get more of them. Eventually you will have the last couple of levels. The music is amazingly amazing.
In this game, you play as Darkwing Duck taking on some of your enemies. The bosses do come off like Mega Man bosses. I would say this is the toughest game in the entire collection. I also say it has some of my favorite levels in it as well. Darkwing Duck will test your skills in many ways. I am not going to lie, this is the best NES Capcom game I ever played.
Honestly I'm very impressed by this game. Darkwing Duck does a great job spicing things up. It never gets boring at all. Yes it will take awhile to get use to how to play it. Trust me, it really is worth doing so. This is a truly fantastic Capcom game that most people needs to play. I would even say for a platformer, it possibly could be in the top 10 for me.
4. TaleSpin
A lot of people usually put this near the back of their NES Disney games. To be honest, TaleSpin isn't a bad game. Yes it does have mechanics that can be confusing for people. Some bosses can be frustrating due to avoiding to the point you might not be able to shoot. I do like you can reverse the direction in some parts of the levels.
This by itself allows you to explore more than usual in those style of games. I would say the final boss requires you to focus. A lot of enemies will attack you while the actual boss doesn't do much. But it also the biggest boss in the entire game. The music is great but not as good as the other games. I would say this is the second hardest game in the collection to learn.
Mostly that's based on it's mechanics. Other than that, it really isn't a hard game at all. This is also one of the shortest games in the collection. TaleSpin does spice things up but not in the same way the other games do. I should mention, there's two final bosses right after each other. Doing both of them will test your skills.
5. DuckTales: Remastered
DuckTales: Remastered is interesting since this is a newer version of a classic NES game. They also brought in the cast from the show to reprise their roles. This version is on more platforms. The levels are a bit longer but it does a lot to help you. Maybe a little too much although you could play a harder difficulty.
The same story greatly expanded to play out just like the show. Yes you can go inside the famous vault. You still go to the same levels but all of them are incredibly recreated. The music is mostly good but a few songs are notably better in the original game. The hopping mechanic is a little off at times.
Just like the NES games, this is mostly easy. All the boss fights are redesigned with some differences. But it isn't that different like in Castle of Illusion's case. Most interactions with the characters this time around. You also have a gallery to buy bonus content about the game. I also like you can replay levels to increase getting them.
I would say the artwork in general is one of the best aspects of the game. The voice acting is very great for this game. Yes Capcom made this version as well with a different team. You also get a map to help keep track where to go. In the original NES games, you mostly had to rely on what you know. In some ways that can be fun while others not so much.
Overall DuckTales: Remastered and The Disney Afternoon Collection are excellent Disney games. I highly recommend both of them especially to Disney fans. I can't really say anything truly negative about them with their length being the only exception. I will say Capcom did a truly amazing job keeping the spirit of Disney alive.
