Disney has just announced, at GameStop Con, that there will be HD remasters for two of our beloved 16-bit games; The Lion King and Aladdin. These two remasters will be bundled together and will come out in October 2019.
Both of these HD remasters will be playable in original and 1080p resolutions, and include their original soundtracks. Moreover, they will pack some new features. For example, the remasters will have fast-forward and rewind functionalities. These features will allow players to jump to any part of the game. Not only that, there will also be a feature that will show the player how to clear a stage.
Disney has not announced whether there will be major visual/graphics improvements. We also don’t know whether these releases will feature both the SNES and Genesis versions. Some reports suggest that the collection will include them, however there is no official word yet.
According to reports, this collection will be available for pre-order tomorrow at GameStop. As such, we may get more details about this HD remaster bundle tomorrow or later today.
We’ll be sure to update this story once we receive more details about the bundle, so stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
The Lion King and Aladdin HD bundle is officially coming to the PC. The bundle will feature multiple classic versions (both 8bit and 16bit) and is currently scheduled for a Fall 2019 release.

Disney’s taking control of everything. Jesus.
Shouldnt those cane out before they released new movies?? Also, why the hell those need “rewind” and “fast forward” things? They can be finished for hour or less! Anyway, those are one of my favourite nostalgias, plz be good, plz be good!
the Aladdin genesis was the better version if i remember correctly
Aladdin genesis was the shiz back in the day.
this news was out of no where. so many memories i had.
“According to reports, this collection will be available for pre-order tomorrow at GameStop. As such, we may get more details about this HD remaster bundle tomorrow or later today.”
is it coming to Steam or Epic Store though?
epic would be epic!
“pre-order tomorrow at GameStop”
GTFO!
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER TOMORROW!……..*don’t know sh*t about the games*.
These days companies will increase the sharpness on a game and re-release it as a remaster. Be cautious of this one ppl!!
What a time to be alive.
The article doesn’t mention which platform,so I guess it might be consoles only?
Why no mention of the MS-DOS version/s? The Lion King was on PC (unsure about the Aladdin game) and played perfectly fine from start to finish while looking visually fantastic for the time.
I played both Aladdin and Lion King on Windows 95 using MS-DOS. Nostalgia much!
What about Hercules and Jungle Games
Good Times. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/375ac7358e932471137bdf59d39764dfa1e4caec92d382334f0809b5e50eda8f.jpg
The Lion King was a great challenge back in the day, but I wouldn’t waste my time playing it again. I remember cursing my friends and relatives while playing this game in the childhood. Very good memories.
Disney needs to make up for the live-action disasters somehow…
I’ve liked them all and they’ve made tons of cash. Don’t think they’re concerned at this point.
Then, besides bad taste, you suffer from lack of information.
Disney has been bleeding money from everywhere, its disastrous live-action Aladdin and Lion King to its destroyed Star Wars franchise that keeps failing in every turn, including the SW-themed park.
Um…no?

i loved alladin and the jungle book genesis games
Digital Eclipse shows its an emulated thing but nothing more. “HD” is a bit misleading, the emulated game runs in HD with some filters. Not a single line redrawn. Not remaster.
Classics!
You’re a sucker and a push over for using Steam for everything Gay Wizard.
