With pre-orders on the horizon, dedicated Disney fans have their hearts set on the Classic Games Aladdin and The Lion King. These games were beloved additions to any fan’s childhood experiences, and they are being remastered for modern consoles. The games come with many exciting features, but it is obvious that Disney and Nighthawk Interactive understand the true collector value in these games.
Alongside the obvious value found in the games, fans are being treated for a true nostalgia rush. Physical boxed editions will be released for the Nintendo Switch along with actual cartridge release for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo consoles.

The Nintendo Switch release will be sold for around $50 and features both titles in your choice of either Genesis-style or SNES-style box packaging. Both versions include an instruction manual styled for the era and an exclusive poster for you to decorate your home with or add to your collection.
Both games are packed with new features that will make the experience fun for every type of gamer. An in-game rewind feature lets you back up difficult moments and speed through to specific parts of the game you want to see. There are also variable display options that let you decide which era of the game you want to experience.
Full 1080p visuals and a music player full of your favorite tracks from the movies is also available. If you want a look behind the scenes, both games include a museum filled with artwork and trivia so you can learn about the devlopment of the original character from the cartoon.
