I will never understand why the creator thinks the genesis version of Aladdin was better than the SNES version.
That’s an extremely common and popular opinion, so I’m not sure why that surprises you.
Honestly, it might just be a licensing issue. Lion King and Genesis Aladdin were both developed by Virgin Interactive, whereas SNES Aladdin was developed by Capcom. Whoever is distributing these games might just not have the licenses for the SNES Aladdin. Considering Duck Tales Remastered is no longer available digitally, which was another Disney game developed by Capcom, I can imagine these Capcom-Disney games are in a general licensing limbo right now.
They were developed by two different developers. More people prefer the Genesis game overall. I believe the GameBoy game was the same as the Genesis game.
Cool cartridges, but I already own the originals. So there’s no way I’m paying $100 just to buy them again. However, I will be buying the Switch version. ; )
