Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King are getting a decidedly retro tribute by way of Nighthawk Interactive. The games are getting two Switch-exclusive "Retro Editions," which will be up for grabs soon for $49.99 apiece.
Alternatively, you can pick up exclusive iam8bit "Legacy Cartridge" editions of the original games that are compatible with both Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles for a true throwback experience.
