Publishing contracts can be a wrinkle, sure, but publishing rights always default to the copyright holder after some time, and Aladdin SNES is more than two decades old.

Capcom put it out again for GBA and they've not given any indication that they no longer own it, so I tend to think it's simply a case of the publisher not being able to afford, or simply being denied, the license from Capcom.
I also suspect they're gambling on the collection selling fine without it, and they're probably right.
I'd love to see your bizarre take on Goldeneye's rights, too. Because you seem to make things way simpler than reality.
nintendo is very cheap when it comes to licensing games for their service. they're not gonna pay disney licensing for what is essentially a freebie.
Well, the GBA port is co-owned by Capcom and Disney, but all of the legal info pertaining to the SNES original says it's the sole property of Disney.
To be clear, I don't discount the possibility there is a lingering contractual hurdle preventing its inclusion in the collection. But other than its absence, there's nothing to indicate that's the case.
The Bond IP is owned by Danjaq; ownership of the N64 game is split between Rare (i.e. MS) and Nintendo; the 2007 remake is owned by Danjaq, although Acti owns the underlying source code.

Found out about the version of Aladdin with new level layouts the other day and my interest shot up about 4000%.
$10 off if one owns one of the games, $20ish off if you owned both
Got it for $10 on my end :3
Strongly disagree. I've beat The Lion King on Genesis as recently as 5-6 months ago as it was just as good as I remembered.
PSN ought to have it up in the next couple of hours at least. I am used to PSN updating at night time over here ;3
Really cool that these are on GOG. I'll pick the collection up on a sale.
GameXplain liked it a lot
It's a Virgin Interactive collection, why would they include games not made by them?
is it called the Virgin Interactive collection or Disney Classic Games Aladdin and the Lion King?
It's the content of the collection telling otherwise? The Game Gear/Master System version of Aladdin wasn't made by Virgin and isn't included either.
It's like asking for Mickey Mania or Pinocchio in Disney Afternoon Collection which is just a Capcom collection.
Sounds about on par with what we knew, and that's more than enough reason for me to pick it up.
It's out on GOG.com
It was only 10$ for me. 30$ regular.

When this thread was created we knew it was a Lion King and Aladdin collection and nothing more. So yeah it's normal to assume the snes version was in it. Also if i understand correctly this is a Disney initiative so I was expecting their games to be in it regardless of the devs.
Thanks. I want to buy it but 30 bucks is a bit too much. Will Wait for sales
No OT for this? I got it last night for Switch. Already beat Aladdin 4 times lol. What a great, great game.
The CES demo version is interesting because it's so bad. The sword combat is awful. It's also surprisingly unfinished. The pot throwing enemy isn't even colored, there's floors and platforms that are invisible, and the inside the lamp stage is TOTALLY different. It's definitely a neat addition.
I played the Final Cut this morning and besides the already reported on differences I noticed a checkpoint in Escape the cave that wasn't there before.

Still really bummed that there's no SNES Aladdin in this bundle. Really just because that's the one I grew up with. And I played Aladdin way more than The Lion King (which I did enjoy in its own regard at the time as well.)
How can I reach développers ? There is a bug
On tv or if you go from tv to undocked sharp is like this
full screen like this
but if you do sharp screen again from undocked it's too small
And only go back like first picture if put on tv
Same for lion king

Was SNES Lion King's music always so muffled? I assume that's because it's more sample based. I much prefer the crisp MD version.
edit: This is the Switch version.

There's more here than just roms.
I'm at work right now, but I can give it a shot when I get home.
Thanks. For me it's obviously an issue because the sharp mode if you launch the game undocked is so so small. But on tv it's ok and if you undock in sharp mode from tv it's much better
Whoa, I didn't know about that Final Cut version of Aladdin. As someone that was going to skip the collection since Aladdin SNES wasn't present for whatever reason that was, I might actually grab this now. I love when re-releases actually implement stuff like this. (i.e. the mobile Sonic ports, certain titles in M2's legacy re-releases on 3DS & Switch, etc.)
sorry, went trick-or-treating with my kid. Will check for real tonight. Promise.
Had no idea this existed.... I loved playing these games as a kid at my cousin's.
Will probably get them for Switch one day for the nostalgia factor.
