Disney Set To Re-release Classic “Lion King” And “Aladdin” Video Games

Disney is re-releasing some of their classic video games with a twist.  

The video games for “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” that were initially released on the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo consoles in 1993 and 1994, respectively, are going to be launched as tie-ins to this year’s big-screen, live-action adventures.

Back in the day, both titles sold well over 1 million units worldwide, with ‘Aladdin’ actually delivering the third-best sales of any game for the Genesis console with a total of 4 million units sold.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the rerelease will be a package, including both games titled ”Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King.” 

The games will launch this fall on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and will feature hi-tech upgraded HD graphics, instant save states and a rewind button that allows players to back up to 15 seconds of gameplay. It will also feature a new, previously unreleased “final cut” of ‘Aladdin’ and a special exclusive “trade show demo” of the title not made public since 1993.

The timing for the release is set to coincide with the remakes of both ‘Aladdin’ and ‘The Lion King’ and the upcoming holiday season.

Both films have had live-action releases by Disney this year, and both earned more than $1 billion at the box office.

The Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King will be available for $29.99.
