Best Switch Disney Games

On 16th October 2023, Disney celebrated its 100-year anniversary, and in the handful of decades since video games have existed in the home, there have been hundreds of adaptations of animated Disney classics or totally original tales to come to consoles. Some have genuinely captured the magic of the mouse and co., while others have simply cashed in on one of the hottest family-friendly licences on the planet.

But what of gaming’s most family-friendly console? Does Switch have Disney games? Of course it does, but what’s the best Disney game on Switch? Here we’ve rounded up every Disney game on Switch (including the freshly-released Gargoyles Remastered), ranked from worst to best by Nintendo Life readers.

The User Rating of each game governs the order of the list below, which means it is subject to real-time change as scores fluctuate. Disagree with the ranking below? Simply click on the star to assign a rating out of 10 to each of the games you’ve played and influence the order (you’ll have to refresh to page to see any potential changes). At the time of writing, several of these games only have a handful of User Ratings, so we expect the order to change quite a bit in the first few days before settling down!

The DIsney Afternoon Collection Not On Switch

We’ve stuck to classic Disney and Pixar-originated IP in this Switch list. We’d be here all day if we listed all the games and properties that Disney has acquired in the last decade or so — you can find the Best Star Wars Games, Best Indiana Jones Games, Best Simpsons Games, and more elsewhere. We have included the Kingdom Hearts games, though (although the mainline games are cloud versions that we don’t recommend — you have been warned!).

It’s also worth noting that there are many classic Disney games from past Nintendo consoles that aren’t currently available on Switch — games such as DuckTales and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers on NES really should be on the console in our opinion. The continued absence of The Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch is an utterly baffling one.

So, let’s don our Mickey ears and take a look at the Best (and Worst) Nintendo Switch Disney games…
