Aladdin has one (1) casual filter level (Cave of Wonders).
Lion King is almost exclusively composed of casual filters.

>>10486525
Animations in Lion King weren't as smooth or good. Also it was a pretty hard game regardless of the port.

>>10486525
ah yes, when disney made adventure movies with dastardly villains and not stories about living in a society or generational trauma

>Aladdin has one (1) casual filter level (Cave of Wonders).
Cave of Wonders is pretty alright for the most part, though I agree it's a difficulty spike from what came before it... but the real filter for me on Aladdin is The Escape.

This. Aladdin on Genesis looked just like the film, while The Lion King looked similar to the film, it's a slight, but also crucial difference in how they looked. Also, The Lion King started filtering its players as early as the 2nd level, while Aladdin took a few more levels to get truly hard, so it was a lot more manageable even on its harder difficulty settings compared to The Lion King.

Disney really sucks now, I was a bit hopeful for Wish, but it's absolute garbage yet again... fuck.

Didn't Aladdin get a fairly big budget marketing campagin by Sega of America directly?

>>10486847
idk

>>10486847
Yep
>Alper crafted an agreement that had Sega assume a marketing and distribution role, as well as an equal share with Virgin and Disney. At the time, it was the first such deal among major console publishers.

Who else would do the marketing?

>>10486551
Something about the main character and the platforms on the first level make the game look a bit jank. From the 2nd level on you realize its a good game. I might like it better than Aladdin since that one repeats backgrounds too much.

>>10486537
Once you figure out each level it feels good.

>>10488657
Virgin?

>>10486756
No the filter was the glitchy plattform hands on the Friend by Me stage (genny version), Lion King's filter was in the 2nd stage due to the shit hit detection but thats mostly on the SNES version.

>>10486525
Aladdin is the better game in general. Lion King isn't even in the ranks for me. Aladdin Genesis is also essentially an exclusive, whereas The Lion King is mostly identical to the SNES verison afaik

>>10488657
Disney obviously, but it's cool that SEGA marketed it themselves

>>10489108
>but thats mostly on the SNES version.
This almost makes me want to try the Genesis version since I grew up with the SNES version and I don't think I ever beat that stage. Insane that it's so hard. Also knowing Virgin on the SNES vs. on the Genesis that makes sense

A couple of things make the Genesis version way more playable and better than the SNES version, the resolution, which is wider, so you can see lot more of what's coming ahead, which makes that ostrich section easier... and then the part where you're forced to swing on the hippo's tails in the SNES version, that you can only skip on Genesis by jumping into the hippo's nose above you.

P.S. In the ostrich section, when you have to do a double jump, jump and then IMMEDIATELY jump again, or else you get killed for some reason I'll never understand. Hope it helps out, anon.
