Nighthawk Interactive’s Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King Retro Edition Box will be a Nintendo Switch special edition that will come in either a Sega Genesis or SNES style box. Today Nighthawk Interactive and Iam8bit have announced their own versions of the collection that might be of interest to die-hard fans. This collection gathers together a number of different versions of each game that appeared on the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Gameboy systems in one awesome looking compilation. What more could you possibly want from a single game's presentation?īravo to Digital Eclipse and everyone else responsible.The Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King compilation will be released this coming Tuesday, October 29th. To take a game like this, a licensed game so damn unlikely to get a re-release in the first place, then to polish it up to this extent is so dedicated, so impressive.

I know I'm going to come over like I'm Shawn Michaels wrestling Hulk Hogan at Summerslam 2005 with how ridiculously I'm over-selling this, but to me it is insane. I immediately noticed that on the first level I was able to double back across the rooftops to collect some more new bonuses. Added new secrets and level sections to the extant game. It's the game you (maybe) loved back on the 16-bit, but. And it's the single best bonus feature I've ever seen. See, alongside the original Aladdin and the nice-but one-play at most CES trade show demo version, there's something innocuously described as Aladdin: The Final Cut. That's something inexplicably tucked away in the menu, like a dirty little secret. It's brilliant, but still not the main event for me.

You'll see the original sketches and the animations they wrought. You can feel so much care and attention has gone into the presentation here, as you're walked through a virtual museum of these games' production. Extensive, rendered at incredible resolution, so in-depth and so lovingly curated. The behind-the-scenes content is astonishing. I've always preferred the precision of the sadly un-included SNES Aladdin, while still being very fond of the generally preferred Mega Drive game.ĭespite my previous protestation of this collection's miserly stinginess, I have a particular interest in re-releases and their added features and presentation (plus Digital Eclipse's recent releases such as The Disney Afternoon Collection have been superb), so I picked this up on Switch with some cheap eShop credit and gold coins. It's a £32 retro collection featuring a mere two Mega Drive games (the inferior Game Boy/SNES ports notwithstanding), neither of which set my world on fire.
