Disney and Nighthawk Interactive revealed today that Disney Classic Games: Aladdin & The Lion King is getting a physical edition on the Switch. As you can see from the image art here, they made this up to look like the old-school cartridge boxes you used to see in stores. Inside you get a cartridge version, as well as an exclusive game poster and color game manual. You can get them in two versions, a clamshell version for Genesis fans, or a box version for SNES players. This edition is only available at Best Buy for $50 if you're looking to buy it. Meanwhile, here are more details of what both games hold.

Disney Classic Games: Aladdin & The Lion King features include:

Authentic Game Content with Modern Improvements – Fans old and new can enjoy the original game builds, upscaled graphics, customizable controls, save states, level select special filters for visual enhancement and more.

Variety of Game Versions – The collection includes multiple playable platform versions of the games including their Sega Genesis, Game Boy and Super Game Boy releases, as well as The Lion King Super Nintendo Entertainment System version.

A Helping Hand – Players who want to experience the Disney magic in true "Hakuna Matata" fashion can use the Interactive Game Viewer to view playthroughs and jump in when ready, Rewind feature, and cheat codes such as invulnerability and infinite lives to aid gameplay progression.

Curated, Explorable Museum – A treasure trove of behind-the-scenes development assets including interviews, an art gallery and a music player shares the rich history behind the Aladdin and The Lion King 16-bit games.
