Literally all the Virgin Genesis has over the Chadcom SNES version is the fluid animations. Besides that, it's messy bongjank level design where you crouch and stab every ten seconds. SNESladdin is an actual platformer that's faithful to the movie, so it's the better game.

A few years back it was a lot more common to see Mega Drive fans being all cocky about how their version was superior or something, now I'm seeing a shift and often SNES fans go on about how their version is so obviously better. I didn't grow up with either version, tried both in 2023. SNES is more polished and flows better, also feels more like Aladdin, collectables add replay value, it just feels better... but Mega Drive looks just like the film, the sword is just too cool, and its arcade styled difficulty gives it a more lasting impression overall. It's a tough choice really.

I think both sets of fans need to stop this whole attitude that one version is obviously superior or something, both excel at something the other doesn't, which makes both worth playing, and it'll all come down to what sort of video game you'd prefer, the direction that they chose to go for.

At first I adored SNES way more, it flowed well and felt like a fast and more responsive Prince of Persia, but I finished it on my 1st sitting, and the Red Gems weren't tough either, but Mega Drive... I took days just to finish it on default difficulty, and that settled it for me, I often play this one.

The two Aladdins really are the gift that keeps on giving for thread topics aren't they?

Anyway: Both are good. They are different games with different focus and different mechanics. Play both. SNES is typical top tier Capcom work, eye candy with focus on linear levels with Al using his acrobatic abilities. Also uses the SNEs capabilities for an epic fincal boss fight against Jafar riding him as giant snake.
MD/G has maze like levels, surrounding graphics are not as good but beautiful animations of characters drawn by Disney animators themselves. Aladdin besides apples has sword. Sword cool. Some people like to cry about it not being as movie accurate but it still cool. The game with its winded levels is also longer. Lame final boss fight though, stand next to Jafar barely being bigger than you and spam apples until he dies from vitamin overdose. Still a good game, and very different from the SNES one
Play both.

Not that I disagree with your overall sentiment but I'm gonna be a little anal about your use of the word

>arcade
There's very little arcade about the Sega one it's a Dave Perry maze explorer with great sprites, flashy visuals and outstanding animations, it's very much a methodical and difficult PC game, a stunning collaboration between professional artists and programmers. Capcom's is short but replayable, has uber linear levels with a focus on constant movement and bubblier, more abstract tone is a much better fit for Capcom, the kings of the 90s arcades imo, headed by Mikami. A better game for that comparison would be the excellent Zelda clone Goof Troop, now that's a game only the SNES could have produced.

Both have their audiences and there's nothing really wrong with either. I prefer Capcom's way of doing things and also the Sega-developed Disney games (Quackshot for life) but Dave Perry's games are a more refined and usually very pretty-looking form of what's refered to as "Euro jank" and the best of these labyrinthan western games from their generation. They're fine.

It definitely has better sprites and animation. I recall I wasn't fond of the art direction for the SNES game. I've never beaten either of them and it's been so long I can't remember which one actually plays better. Small tangent but I really don't like Capcom's sound engine and samples on the SNES, nearly all of their licensed game have a tinny reverb for the music, and half of the sound effects are BRRRAP

the genesis version is better but some sections of the snes game look really beautiful. The snes version is nice to pick up for only $15 so I will need to have both in my collection. I don't care about buying cib for snes because the cardboard boxes and manuals for snes games are always beat to crap and expensive. A loose snes cart is cheap and good enough for me. I'm a little more picky about cib games with the genesis. The genesis manual usually stay in good condition thanks to the gorgeous clamshell boxes which the snes lacks.

The snes version of alladin isnt a bad game either. I've just been watching a playthough on YouTube. It's made by Capcom. Capcom is a game developer that doesnt make bad games. That being said, the genesis version is objectively better. But being "better" doesn't not mean that lesser games shouldnt be played. A lesser game can still be a very good game. This highlights whats at the root of the the whole sega genesis vs snes dichotomy. If you look at a game like super Mario it IS a better game than sonic the hedgehog. However, sonic the hedgehog as a series is a really fantastic thing to play. Just because a game is better than this (other) game doesn't completely nullify its relevance or remove it from existence. All of the games have the same purpose. They're meant to be played for the experience. When, you dont play a game you simply forfeit the experience.

The snes usually had better and higher quality games than genesis so its fun for the genesis fans we get a game that's better like alladin.

It's arcade in the sense that you get taken back to the title screen and there are no passwords to go back to where you were, like there are on Capcom's. It's the kind of thing that, to beat, you'll replay the earlier levels until you master them, and only then see the later levels, until you eventually master the whole thing, and then you'll finally beat it. I believe most people would beat the Capcom's version in their 1st sitting, while Virgin will take a few days trying and having to restart.

Fair point, slipped my mind because that's more of a console rental convention than about the game being the kind of thing you'd see in an arcade, there's tons of 16 bit licensed games with limited continues that don't exactly remind me of arcades.

[Anonymous No.10564375]

>>10564126
True, I meant more that it's got that trial and error, punishing and ruthless, nature to it, no passwords or saving system, it's all about trying to get to the end and still losing often until you learn everything to win, it's how most video games did it then due to the arcades being the reference, as it was what the consoles aimed to be.

[Anonymous No.10564469]

>>10564375
Absolutely but see but that's a thing tons of games from the time did, from Trip World or Great Battle 4 to Contra Hard Corps and I'd only call the latter "arcade-like". Gens Aladdin is too deliberate and too much of a PC game for me to think about it like that, rather than Dave Perry wanting to craft an arcade-like experience it was because welp, every game was like that back then, specially Genesis ones. But you're correct in that, even if these Capcom Disney games technically had continues, they also had Password systems, which defeats the purpose, I don't recall Goof Troop even having score to lose after a Game Over but you can run out of continues and it'll punch a good password for you so you never have to go back to the beginning in a single play session.

[Anonymous No.10564552]

>>10564469
Yeah, I get what you mean, I guess what I mean to say is that it was the style of the time, especially for SEGA consoles, which was at a time where arcades were still so common and inspired the whole scene, in the meantime SNES and Capcom, at that time, were already leaving the arcades for a direction nearing what we saw on PSX and N64. The Capcom version appeals a lot more to people into modern titles, but Virgin's is way more appealing to people who are into arcades and all.

I typically gravitate towards Genesis over SNES but I dunno how the fuck anyone who played both versions could think that. The Genesis version had great presentation but as a platformer it was ass to play with wonky hit detection and platforming that required you to land precisely or else you'd fall through the platforms. Doesn't help that even with irrefutable proof some dinguses will still try to defend the turd.
