Talk:List of Disney's Aladdin video games

Disney animators
The article already mentions the fluid cel animation, but I remember reading years ago that some Disney animators who worked on the film were responsible for the game's graphics - does anyone know whether that's true? Any info on Disney's involvement should be added, but it would be great to get some references for it first. --Nick R 16:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I have read this too in the games magazine Power Unlimted in 1993 the author didn't mention a source perhaps David Perry who was leading developer of the game can confirm or deny this. Marco 18:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I think they mean that the game animators used original cel art as a source for the game art.

While we're on the subject, why no mention of the Amiga version, which basically appeared to the MegaDrive version with a large status area at the top of the screen, and more comprehensive sampled sound?--82.41.83.190 (talk) 12:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

merged in two duplicate articles
There were three seperate articles on Disney Aladdin video games from 1993 with a lot of duplicate information between them and with merger requests. I went ahead and merged the information from all three articles into this one.

Although there are technically two seperate games involved, one by Capcom and the other by Virgin, there did not appear to be enough additional information seperating the two games to require two articles. So the differences between the two versions are outlined in seperate sections of the article.

Of course, if there is dispute about the merger, feel free to discuss and revert it if wanted by consensus. Dugwiki 22:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Given the fact that the games are completely different, I think they either need separate articles or the name of this article needs to change. "Disney's Aladdin (video game)" is not accurate, since it covers more than one.  Perhaps Video games based on Disney'a Aladdin. Rhindle The Red 15:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The games are way to different to be merged under one article. The Genesis version was back then widely considered as one the best Genesis games. 78.55.68.162 (talk) 21:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Article must be split or changed
It's been years now since that poor decision of merging two completely unrelated games into one article has been made, the expected objections were raised and stated, and yet nothing has been done to fix this unfortunate incident. This state of affairs is a complete embarrassment. Lacking information is absolutely not a reason for misleading presentation as if those unrelated games were in fact "different versions". Both games having several shared characteristics (mostly due to the simple fact that they were based simultaneously on the same source) is a ridicules argument for referring them as one.

 * My suggestion would be to split them into "Disney's Aladdin (Virgin Interactive's video game)" and "Disney's Aladdin (Capcom's video game)".
 * This seems like the best choice. There is no reason for these articles to be merged. Lazarusloafer (talk) 03:03, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Less preferable option (but easier to implement having the current wrong situation) would be to change the title to "Disney's Aladdin Video Games" and edit the references from "version" to "game", title them by their developers/publishers instead of the misleading title using the main port as the name of the "version", etc.

COMPLETELY different games?
Considering similar style and apple-throwing, I find it hard to believe each of these was created in a vacuum, so to speak.
 * The SNES and Genesis versions are VERY different in terms of gameplay and graphics. They were also produced by two different companies. Although it could be argued that they're not all that different since they're all platforming games and they all follow the same storyline, they can only be but so varied. After all, it wouldn't make much sense to create an Aladdin FPS in outer space. That being said, perhaps "completely" is too strong an adverb; maybe we could tone it down to "very" instead? -Jacquismo 02:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Split
See the discussions above. This Genesis/SNES games should be split into separate articles. They are completely different games developed by separate companies. --Toxicroak 01:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

NES?
Hello. Could someone clarify this? The infobox says it was released for the 8bit NES, but the article doesn't even mention the NES. It says instead of a 16bit SNES version. I first though of editing the infobox myself, but then I saw the infobox image and the boxart actually says "Nintendo Entertainment System" (NES). So what's the truth? Is there a 8bit NES version of this game? 186.56.196.108 (talk) 04:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. It's surprising given the year is 1994, but there is.77.70.30.216 (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge
Can someone PLEASE stop changing the title of Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge to Disney's Aladdin 2: Nasiara's Revenge? There's no proof anywhere on the internet that the game was ever called that. 71.95.61.24 (talk) 18:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
