TheDuckTalesNES game.Micky Mousecapade.Goof Troop. Okay, so I might have played every single Capcom Disney game under the sun, but on occasion, it also goes toResident EvilandMonster Hunter.

Note thatIceborneis an expansion forWorld. That’s kind of a big deal.
In other Capcom sales news,Resident Eviltitles continue to dominate the charts overall as the most successful series, with spots two through five consisting of7, 5, 6,and2(remake) respectively.
