Disney Classic Games Includes Final Cut Version Of Aladdin With All-New Level Sections

dang, this is lookin pretty polished!
ive never played the originals, but i definitely gotta pick this up

@XiaoShao The Game Gear one alternated between "run to the right" and Prince of Persia-esque levels with some carpet segments; it was pretty different from the Genesis and SNES ones.

I prefer the SNES version of Aladdin and it’s super disappointing to not have it included here. Probably my biggest gaming letdown of the year.

@justin233

Then you are very fortunate.

Very cool. A whole new world you might even say..

Oh snap, it's this month? Nice.

I wished they could do something with Capcom to get the SNES Aladdin on here. Of course the versions I grew up with are not on here at all, go figure. >.<

A lot of the content probably is what was present in the prototype version. Hopefully there's some new stuff too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r4EMueUXNs

@justin233

Same, the SNES version is a better made game and the gameplay is much more tight. The Genesis version is flashier sure, but I really dislike the level design.

Switch version Already reserved at Gamestop!! ☺️

Glad to hear about the improved camera and sword hit detection in Aladdin, since those were two of the main things which turned me off from Virgin's Genesis version in comparison to Capcom's SNES version.

(SNES Aladdin will still have the better level design, but that's just because this is '90s Capcom we're talking about)

I forgot this coming out so soon. I gotta get this.

This is looking better by the minute.

Can't wait to pick it up

@Spudtendo @Seanmyster6 The Super NES Aladdin was directed by Shinji Mikami (creator of Resident Evil 4, Viewtiful Joe, Devil May Cry, The Evil Within, and Bayonetta), that's why it's so good.

Looks good, but there are too many great games coming. This one will have to wait.

Hell yes. This is exactly what I was wanting.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the critical acclaim Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Disney's Aladdin Virgin planned to do a Sega CD/Mega CD port of the game but unfortunately the planned was scraped. Had that version been made it would had featured red audio soundtrack similar to the PC versions, better graphics, an extra level, and possibly in-game cut scenes between levels using footage from the film itself to drive the story forward in the game. https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/307439/Check_out_this_deep_dive_into

Yeah, nah. I know it's been said several times in this comment section alone, but I just can't see this worth my dime when the Lion King is LITERALLY the same game on SNES and Sega while the Aladdin games would have actually been worth bringing both vastly different versions. I have many childhood grievances with Lion King, and I don't ever want to put myself through that again. This is basically $30 for Aladdin on Sega Genesis because that is all I would ever get out of it.

I know this is the mega drive version rather than the snes but Aladdin is the one game I always wanted to come to virtual console.

I knew due to licensing issues it was never really likely to happen so naturally when I saw this game announced I was over the moon with joy

@Marios-love-child yes and you made a mistake before by not buying 2 copies. Now get 2 copies and you will be fine for many many years

Still no SNES version which is what I was really interested in as I always found it superior to the Megadrive version.

Pity.

Aladdin's my favorite game for the Genesis, so this is a definite maybe.

I'm gonna buy this, but since there is no benefits for these kind of games on Xbox One X, i'm getting it on Switch.

You ain't never had a port like this

So just to confirm, the fun, completely functional game in the pack gets reworked & modernised for a more fun game.. but the semi broken, tough-for-all-the-wrong-reasons game is untouched?

Sound about right.

@justin233 I was under the impression that will include that. What a shame since both games are great!

The reason why the SNES version of Aladdin is not there, it is because that version is owned by Capcom, not by Disney.

While Disney owns the rights to the movie, Capcom made the SNES game and own the rights to the game, but Capcom cannot sell that game without a permit from Disney, and Disney cannot sell that game without a permit from Capcom.

But the Mega Drive version is owned by Disney, so they can sell it whenever they want.

fantastic! I love these games

@retro_player_22 you seem to have combined Shinji Mikami and Hideki Kamiya into one person. Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, and Viewtiful Joe are directed by Kamiya. Resident Evil 4 and The Evil Within are Mikami (though he WAS an executive producer on DMC and Viewtiful Joe, he had no role in Bayonetta)

Well that's kinda cool that they're actually tweaking the game a bit. And hopefully they are all genuinely good tweaks rather than some stuff we'd rather not have ultimately.

HA! Adding in a level select? Kids these days have it so easy. Back in MY day you had to pause the game and press ABBAABBA to go to the next level, and you just kept doing that until you were at the Lava stage

next they should do mickey mania

@justin233 Maybe if Capcom releases a collection with Aladdin, Goof Troop, and Bonkers, and maybe the Magical Quest Trilogy, we can get the Disney Afternoon Collection on the Switch at the same time, like going for the whole "Two For One" approach like they did with the Mega Man Legacy Collections.

@YoshiAngemon I’d kill to play those Mickey Mouse Magical Quest SNES games again. All of these Capcom Disney games, really. Magical Quest 2 is one of my favorite platformers on the system (maybe just a tad behind DKC2 and Yoshi’s Island).

If it had the SNES Alladin, it would be a day one purchase for me, but as is, I'll just eventually get it for sure, just no need to rush.

Capcom's Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, & Alladin were fun.

It's funny how the "Loin" King typo is still in this trailer.

@justin233 Then get the GBA port of SNES Aladdin if you really want it on a portable Nintendo system

it really was nothing special on the SNES
the graphics look like a standard 16bit game while the Genesis one almost looked like the film

also Aladdin has less means of attack in the SNES only being able to throw apples while the Genesis had that as well having a sword

Are there 6 games on this collection?

I can see HD remakes of both Aladdin and The Lion King that don't resemble any old version. I see the Mega Drive version of The Lion King but the Super Game Boy version of Aladdin.
And I see Game Boy versions of The Lion King and Aladdin.
What is the point in having Aladdin for the Game Boy twice?

I don't even remember there being a regular Aladdin Game Boy game. I thought it was released specifically for Super Game Boy only, at least in my region. Is there someone with more info? Whatever the case, there's no point to have the exact same game twice (only running in two different modes). They could have taken the Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance version instead, or you know, the popular SNES version, heck, even the original Mega Drive version would work next to the HD one!

@ClassSonicSatAm Thanks for your wrong opinion (jk). The SNES version is far better - the apples are what made it great.

@SKTTR @justin233 But the Genesis has apples too as well having a sword to attack with, as well looking more like the movie

besides if the SNES version did get released, then Capcom would need to get involved since it's their version of the game

@ClassSonicSatAm It's not the same game. That's the point. The SNES one is the one I grew up with and have memories of. I am aware of Capcom's involvement.

@justin233 Hench why it's not here, and as I said Capcom have even re-released it before on the GBA with some of their other disney games

if anything you have to wait for another Disney Afternoon set with their snes games... or if they remake it like they did with Duck Tales give it some good graphics and animation it lacks

@EpicGamenator Mickey Mania and Toy Story as a bundle as they are both made by Travelers Tale back in the day.
