Each game offers the new Rewind feature -- whenever you're having trouble, just hold down a button, go back in time, and rewrite history by nailing those sick pogo tricks and crate throws. There's also a Time Attack mode where you race against the clock and use the online leaderboards to compare your best times with other players across the web, as well as Boss Rush for an extreme challenge that pits you against each game's bosses. But wait, there’s more! On top of these retro classic games and the new game modes, The Disney Afternoon Collection comes packed with awesome digital material from the original releases, including concept art, sketches, music, and other fun extras.

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

Flinthook is a fast action-platformer with "roguelike" elements. Become space’s greatest pirate with your hookshot, pistol and slowmo powers! Zip around with your mighty hookshot! Aim freely and toss your giant anchor at golden rings to propel yourself around the levels at high speeds, giving you the agility and swiftness needed to dodge hazards and enemy bullets. Shoot in 360’ through your Blasma Pistol! Take down all sorts of enemies with fresh hot bullets! Look really cool with slow-motion powers! Slow down time to adjust your aim or pull off a tight stunt - do it often, it recharges real quickly and it makes you at least 200% cooler.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

  • Downloadable on Nintendo Switch, PS4 & Xbox One

Cursed into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, a lonesome adventurer is facing the challenge of a lifetime! In search for a cure, our mutated anti-hero will explore the many traps of Monster Land ... and defeat many stuff-throwing, curse-wielding dragons. How many more transformations can one hopeful body survive as it turns into a Lizard, a Mouse, a Piranha, a Lion, and a Hawk... The six different forms of our shape-shifting hero make up the cast of this non-stop action-adventure platformer!

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is a modern version of Westone Bit Entertainment's cult classic platform-action game Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap. This re-imagining of Wonder Boy was made with the benediction of Shinji Fujiwara and the cooperation of legendary series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa.

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

From our Review: Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is both a sequel to last year's Justice League vs. Teen Titans and an adaptation of the popular comic book storyline of the same name. The latter fact is a much bigger selling point, as Justice League vs. Teen Titans wasn't exactly one of the more memorable additions to DC's lineup of direct-to-DVD animated movies. And sadly, despite the strong source material, The Judas Contract is only marginally more entertaining than its predecessor.

The Founder

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

  • See it on Amazon for $22.99 (Blu-ray)

From our Review: The Founder acts as yet another powerful acting showcase for both Michael Keaton and Nick Offerman, and shines an interesting light into the untold history of one of the world’s most iconic corporate institutions, even if it lacks the conviction to leave the audience with the kind of gut punch that its story deserves.

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

  • See it on Amazon for $19.96 (Blu-ray)

From our Review: While not perfect, and despite falling victim occasionally to some of the genre’s more frustrating tropes, Split is easily the most exciting, fun, and interesting film M. Night Shyamalan has made in over a decade. It doesn’t manage to be quite as noteworthy as some of his earlier work, but it comes pretty close.

Full Throttle: Remastered

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

  • See it on Steam for $11.99 (PC)
  • Also downloadable on PS4 and Vita

The classic gas-soaked adventure game Full Throttle gets refueled for a new generation of gamers in Full Throttle Remastered.

Get your helmet. Get your boots on and hold on tight cause it's time to ride at Full Throttle! With a full stereo soundtrack that makes you shift in your seat every time something flies by, and a story line with characters that border on hilarious, this heavy-metal adventure by Tim Schafer should not be missed.

Voodoo Vince: Remastered

Release Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

  • See it on Steam (PC)

If you own a voodoo doll, you get to tap into its strange, mysterious powers. But if you ARE a voodoo doll? That's when things get really fun.
