Originally having released back in 2019 with Aladdin and The Lion King, the Disney Classic Games offerings have been increased and enhanced. You see, now us gamers are being given the opportunity to take in what many believe to be the superior version of Aladdin – that from the SNES – alongside the chance to wander through the magic of The Jungle Book.
Available to purchase and download right now as the Disney Classic Games Collection on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC, this classic pack is something that fans of the retro scene, or Disney lovers are going to get pretty excited by.
It’s priced at £29.24 which is a step up from that which launched in 2019, but this time around the games included have virtually doubled. Not only do we have access to the previous options of Aladdin and The Lion King, but now The Jungle Book and the SNES version of Aladdin are included for good measure.
Cherished versions of the original games, just upscaled visually to fit with modern hi-def displays, you get access to some of the finest games from yesteryear in this new collection. And the best thing about it is if you previously purchased the drop that arrived back in 2019, you can upgrade with the The Jungle Book and MORE Aladdin Pack for just £9.99.
