New Disney Classic Games Collection officially adds SNES Aladdin and Jungle Book
Updated collection launching for consoles and PC in November
An updated collection of classic Disney games will include the SNES version of Aladdin and The Jungle Book when it releases on November 9, 2021.
16-bit Disney classics Aladdin and The Lion King were remastered for Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2019, including new content and a variety of game versions.
1993’s Aladdin famously had totally different games released on both the major console platforms of the time, including a Genesis/Mega Drive game by Virgin and directed by David Perry (Earthworm Jim), and a SNES version by Capcom and directed by Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil).
The latter was not included in 2019 release Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and the Lion King, but as leaked earlier this week, it will be present in the now official Disney Classic Games Collection. So too will multiple versions of The Jungle Book.
The Disney Classic Games Collection, which was first outed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board in August, is headed to PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch, priced at $29.99.
UPDATE: ‘The Jungle Book and more Aladdin’ DLC Pack will be available for $9.99 for players who already own Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King.
