The already comprehensive Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King compilation for PlayStation 4 is getting a re-release, which includes the Shinji Mikami directed SNES version of Aladdin for the first time. As you can probably guess from the title, Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book includes more games than ever before – including handheld versions and much more.
The press release points out: “This package combines Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King with the all new ‘The Jungle Book and MORE Aladdin Pack’. Now you can play all of the critically acclaimed 16-bit console versions of Aladdin, along with classic games based on Disney’s The Jungle Book.”
From the way the announcement is worded, it sounds like those of you who already own the existing version will be able to purchase a DLC pack to get The Jungle Book content and the SNES version of Aladdin – but we’ll double-check with publisher Nighthawk Interactive to clarify. Either way, the re-release is due out this fall, both physically and digitally on the PS Store.

God-tier tagline there 😂
"Console N" and "Console S"????? Are you kidding me with that?! What, do they think they're going to get sued if they use "SNES" and "Genesis"?!
These should be free with my Nintendo membership.. or at least completely remastered if you want me to pay money for em
@art_of_the_kill you’ve clearly never seen how petty Nintendo is 😂
@Jacko11 Fair point. ;P
@Sebatrox It's a reference to The Lion King, The Jungle Book and the Genesis version of Aladdin being developed by Virgin Games. The SNES version of Aladdin was made by Capcom.
Any chance of other Disney classic games like The Little Mermaid NES or Mickey Mania getting a release?
This was one of the games that had backwards compatibility issues with the PS5. Does this mean they are going to fix it?
The SNES version was better tbhm let's face dem fax. I loved it as a kid. The genie level after the cave with the brass soundtrack was my favourite I think. Was tough as a kid but me and my sister managed to make it to Jafar now and then.
I remember playing the Jungle book game back on Genesis many years ago. This will be a first for me playing the SNES game of Aladdin. And Lion King… ugh, I really can’t stand that game.
@WolfyTn a 3rd party publisher should give you games for free because you give Nintendo money? Right...
@RevengeFan really? good to know
now we just need a Magical Quest collection. Or maybe find some room for Goof Troop or Little Mermaid in there.....
@RevengeFan Given the lack of updates to the original Aladdin/Lion King ps4 compilation,I tend to suspect this "new" compilation will be their answer to a ps4/5 compatible friendly version/ update!🤔😕
Awesome news! As great as the SEGA/Virgin game looks and sounds, Capcom’s Aladdin has the superior gameplay.
@MidnightDragonDX Yes! That was a tough level. I remember losing many playthroughs to it, too.
@MetalGear_Yoshi uh.. yeah.. I’ve bought (or at least my parents did) some of these titles on old ass machines.. quit putting out these dead graphics wanting me to pay for them when I own them several times over.. ESPECIALLY when I pay for Nintendo Online AND PS Plus bro
