TheDisney Classic Games Collectionwill feature the classic platformersDisney’s Aladdin,Disney’s The Lion King, andDisney’s The Jungle Book. This includes ports of the Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Sega MegaDrive versions of these classic platformers. As with the previous game, there remains the rewind feature that allows players to recover from any mistake that proved fatal in the original games. The ports also allow players to jump into any part of each game they wish.

The 2019Disney Classic Gamesbrought back some of the most memorable licensed platformers and took them a step further. That missing Super Nintendo port ofDisney’s Aladdinmade that collection feel incomplete, however. There was a lot to like about the forgiving rewind function but this announcement really shows what that previous collection could have been.
Then again, had it not been for the success of that previous title, players wouldn’t have the upcomingDisney Classic Games Collectionto look forward to. ThoughDisney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion Kingwas recently discounted, it was well-received by critics and clearly sold enough to inspire this followup. Fortunately for fans of these platformers, these games have been revived once again and are much more accessible than before.
Disney Classic Games Collectionwill be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in the Fall of 2021.
