Does anybody know, if it already helps, when i'm posting this Message here?
I'm just writing and asking, because i hope some Fans and the Developers will read it and can make a Change.
First i thought, i'm buying this on the Release Date. But now in my opinion, it's maybe better to wait and think about it.
I was really looking forward to it and am now a bit disappointed about the Collection and what happened on GOG.
At first i can't see much Difference between this "Final Cut" and the Original "Aladdin" Gameplay.
Most important for me is, that at least the PC-Versions of both Games should be included too in this Collection.
Even more, because GOG was pleased, not to sell these Versions any longer. Think about it, please.
After all, i bought the PC-Version of "Aladdin" on a Discount, but waitet too long and missed "The Lion King".
I'm really not interrested to play any of these Game Boy Versions, that just feels like a bad Joke. Even the "Sega Master System" and "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" Version of "Aladdin" could fit better into this; moreover the "Sega Master System" Version of "The Lion King" is better than the GB-Versions. The "Sega Genesis" Version of "The Lion King" is okay, but i think it isn't as good like on SNES, or PC. But especially the Sega Master System Version of Aladdin would fit perfectly into this Collection, because the Story-Line is the Best from all Versions; it's very well adapted from the Movie. It's even the better Game than the SNES-Version and it feels like some kind of Interactive-Movie-Experience. Great Game; but difficult.
So, i would appreciate it, to get an Update; at least with the PC-Versions of "Aladdin" & "The Lion King" included.
But that's not all, i've got more Inspiritation! Please read the whole Thing if you like these Games.
Here's much more about my Imaginations, how this Collection should be and i'll explain you why:
Aladdin for the Sega Genesis has honestly more Advantages, like better Graphics, compared to the PC-Version. Next to a bigger Screen Size (transparent HUD-Display) and better Health-Bar (Genie's Lamp with animated Smoke). It also has more Animations, including the Sega & Disney Logo with Genie, glowing Scarab at the Intro, Animation within the "Level complete" Screen (Aladdin & Abu), moving Clouds in the Backgrounds (Stages 1, 2 and 9 - but they're moving way too fast), Abu jumping on a Guardian at the End of Stage 2 (The Desert), a pursuing Lava-Wave behind at Stage 7 (Rug Ride), better and longer End-Credits. The Genesis has the much better Menu with a nicer Background and a moving Sword as Cursor. I can see, that the Running-Animation of Aladdin is faster in the PC-Version, in contrast to the Original Game on Genesis. But both Version have their own Flaws.
As mentioned; the PC-Versions of "Aladdin" and "The Lion King" are Something Special...Especially the Music of "Aladdin" sounds in some Ways much better, but unfortunately both Versions seem incomplete somehow. The Genesis has extended Music-Titles, but both Versions have missing, but also exclusive Sounds. The PC-Versions had better Tones, but both Soundtracks have their own Advantages; some Things don't seem completely finished in both Versions and isn't reworked in the so called "Final Cut". The last two Tracks of the Genesis-Version are recycled and confusing: "Stage 09 - Sultan's Palace" sounds like in "Stage 02 - The Desert". "Stage 10 - Jafar's Palace" sounds like in "Stage 06 - The Escape" and was also used in the Bonus Stages with Abu (but the PC-Version just repeats the same Track from the Level before on the Bonus Stages). In the PC-Version on "Stage 09 - Sultan's Palace" is a Hidden Track, which wasn't in the Genesis-Version. But unfortunately is on the PC in the last Stage (10 - Jafar's Palace) continuous including the Boss Battle and End-Credits just only one and the same Track hearable, which sounds like a modified Version from "Stage 06 - The Escape".
Something like an "Ultimate Cut" of Aladdin would be, if there's an Option, to choose the PC-Music inside of the Genesis-Version's Gameplay. If you got that, the next Step should be, to pick the Soundfonts and adjusting the PC-Music to extend it like the Genesis-Version. And if that's possible, also having an Option, to choose between the Sound-Effects from Genesis and PC, would be nice. It would make you feel like the SNES-Version should have been. Because if you compare the Soundtrack from both Versions, you will recognize, that on the PC some Parts are missing or are mixed and the Sounds are on a higher Level like SNES. For Example; the Menu-Music on the PC has Piano-Tones, but is much shorter and has in "A whole new World" a wrong cutted singing Part at the End. The last Word "dreaming" is missing in the Sentence: "No one to tell us no - from where to go - or say we're only dreaming".
It would be great, to hear all Compositions of the Genesis-Version with the Tones of the PC-Version; adding these missing Parts. To choose in the Final Cut between Gameplay-Music and Sound Effects: "Sega Genesis - OST", "PC - OST" and "Rearranged - Genesis Music Compositions with PC-Music-Tones and Sound-Effects, including the Exception of the Hidden PC-Track from Stage 09, which was missing on the Sega Genesis Version".
Different Soundeffects are hearable, for Example, when picking up Items and Powerups, destroying something or someone, hitting Genie-Vases for Checkpoints and else. When the Seller opens his Stand sounds better on Genesis. In a Video it seems, like the big Guardian (Razoul) still can't say "Come on" every Time when he beckons, or won't scream every Time when he's jumping on hot Coal (but it's definitely fixed on the old PC-Version). So, how about an Update like that? I would buy immediately, or even pay more, to make this DLC possible!
Now, last but not least, i'll also try to take a closer Look at "The Lion King":
The Super Nintendo Version has the least Defects, of all Versions; like Aladdin on the Genesis. But let's be honest; some Music sounds also neat on the Genesis, especially in the second Level. The Genesis-Version has partly but not in every Case better Graphics (no cropped Screen-Size), with darker Shades and sometimes a bit alternate Graphics, like the Waterfalls and Geysers. Nevertheless, the Presentation on the SNES is better (Title-Menu looks much better and Stage-Names are animated for Example). But it's like the Same with Aladdin; that the PC-Version has better Music-Tones and Soundeffects, but sometimes missing Music. Even if the SNES and PC-Version usally look and sound like the same, i tell you that this is not the Case with the Music and Soundeffects; there are still hearable Differences (especially later in the Game). Moreover i also noticed missing Soundeffects in all Versions at the End-Fight, when Scar attacks and heckles. Soundeffects like the exploding blue Bugs in the first Stage and the Thunders at the last Stage are optimized in the PC-Version. The Snes and Genesis-Version took the same Soundeffect twice for the exploding blue Bugs and the Thunder; but in the PC-Version are two different Noises for each of it, like it should be. The Sega Genesis has a Soundeffect for the Birds in Level two, which isn't included in the other Versions and even little Simba's Roar sounds somehow even better, than in the other Versions. More Genesis-Exclusive Soundeffects are running and jumping Noises with the Ostrich (Stage 2 - Can't wait to be King), falling Rocks (Stage 8 - Be prepared). Every Version has a few missing, but also exclusive Soundeffects. The Noise, when Simba rolls on the Ground is Exclusive on the PC. The SNES and PC-Version use a fourth Control-Button. It seems like the PC-Version doesn't run as fast and smooth like on the Snes and Genesis.
Conclusion for a "Final Cut" of "The Lion King" would also include the Option to choose between Music and Soundeffects from SNES and PC or even the Genesis Music and at least the improved Genesis-Soundeffects.
"The Jungle Book" and "Pinocchio" are similiar and also from "Virgin Interactive", they've got Multiple Versions too.
An Exclusive Handheld-Title which could fit into a Collection like this, would be "Tarzan" for the "Game Boy Color".
