Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book is an easy recommendation for 16-bit fans. The Jungle Book (Genesis version) is icing on the cakes. At the same time, those on the fence waiting (hoping) for SNES Aladdin, it’s finally here to offer the best of both 16-bit worlds.
#SUPER NINTENDO DISNEY ALADDIN GAMES UPDATE#
If you own the original, it’s well worth the $9.99 update with DLC. It must be the David Perry influence giving this Genesis version a tremendous advantage. It’s an enjoyable collectathon that I’ve already played through more than once. And it flows with a purpose, with fun cutscenes between levels. Enemy and level designs are more thoughtful. Yes, in this instance, “Genesis does what Nintendon’t.” It controls and moves so much better. Color me surprised when the Genesis version turned out to be very good, if not great! Movement is not very good at all, the camera and level construction are subpar at best, and it lacks direction and flow, to name just some. But I actually started with the SNES build, disliking it for numerous reasons. Moving on to the Jungle Book, the GB entry is a “one look was enough” version. Gem collecting makes for some replayability with alternate endings. The Agrabah marketplace and rooftops, the Cave of Wonders, inside the lamp, and Jafar’s Palace all are stages that are familiar but different. The carpet escape isn’t as entertaining, but it compensates with a fun and relaxing carpet bonus game, with Jasmine in tow.įurther, it’s simply enjoyable to see different takes on locations common to both versions. But Aladdin platforms in a fun way that’s probably truer to the film. There’s no sword in this outing, a bummer for those desiring more action. While not looking or sounding quite as great as its Genesis counterpart, it’s still pretty darn good in its own right, with colorful visuals and enjoyable music. This SNES version has a lot going for it. 3 or Super Mario World? Each version of Aladdin has its own pros and cons, but both are incredibly well-made. Mega Man 2 or Mega Man 3? Super Mario Bros. Since that’s now fixed, we can resume the playground debates of the early ‘90s about which one is better. In my earlier coverage, I mentioned my disappointment about the absence of the SNES version of Aladdin. I’ll start with Aladdin, which is unique from Virgin’s title and almost as great. This review will focus on the new games alone. Arguably just as big (if not bigger) is the SNES version of Aladdin from Capcom.Īs I’ve already covered the prior release, please see that review for more detail. Or I should say for three, as the Genesis, SNES, and Game Boy versions are also included. What’s updated? Well, as the title indicates, The Jungle Book for one. It’s a new version of a bundle released some two years ago. A familiar look pervades the Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book.
