Update: We've now got a trailer for the Disney Classic Games Collection (which just mentions Fall 2021 as a release window), and sadly there's no mention of a free upgrade for existing Disney Classic Games owners.
Original story: A few years back, Digital Eclipse released Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King. Now, it appears that the collection is getting a re-release on November 12, with The Jungle Book and the SNES version of Aladdin being added to the selection.
As spotted on the French publisher Just For Games' website, a new collection is said to be arriving this November, delivering both previously mentioned titles.
"You can now play ALL critically acclaimed 16-bit versions of 'Aladdin' as well as classic games based on Disney's 'Jungle Book'! These new, fan-requested and much-loved games complete this collection, making it the only way to discover all the 16-bit versions of Aladdin and The Jungle Book on console."
Here's what's said to be included in the collection:
- Disney’s Aladdin: SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Sega MegaDrive
- Disney’s Aladdin – Final Cut: Sega Mega Drive
- Disney’s Aladdin – Demo Version: Sega Mega Drive
- Disney’s Aladdin – Japanese Version: Sega Mega Drive
- Disney The Lion King – SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Sega MegaDrive
- Disney The Lion King – Japanese Version: Sega Mega Drive
- Disney The Jungle Book – SNES, Game Boy, Sega Mega Drive
It's unclear whether owners of the original Disney Classic Games collection will be able to upgrade to the new version for an additional charge, or whether they'll be forced to purchase the entire thing again.
We're still waiting for more details on this, and we imagine it won't be too long until we get new info and a trailer.

Gutted I bought this incomplete. They should either have made an extensive Disney collection that included the games from the original release and every other Disney 2D platformer which I would have been OK with buying or just a "sequel" collection that bundles Jungle Book with other releases not included in the original collection
Unless of course it's a free upgrade but my OCD will make me want it all on one cartridge so I'd still feel bad about buying the original on Switch
I really hope that I don't have to buy it again just to get The Jungle Book. I'm hoping that it'll be a title update for the original if you own it, but I doubt it will. At the very least, it'll be paid DLC.
So that means more achievements possibly.
Didn't the first collection not include the SNES version of Aladdin? This package includes "ALL". It makes it more interesting because both games are good. I didn't buy it because of that.
Don't mind paying a nominal fee for the addition of Jungle Book and other extras, but a repurchase for the complete version would be extra lame.
How about adding Toy Story, and also all the Mickey and Donald games?
@BlueOcean The initial release did not include the SNES version of Aladdin, which is the main reason that I didn't purchase it. There should be an upgrade path for those folks that already purchased the initial release!
@Smeltos I agree, the people who bought the digital version should be able to purchase an upgrade and the people who bought the physical version should be able to purchase the extra content as DLC.
@Xerges not as fondly remembered, at least to the mainstream. I'm sure they are good games however
Will be awesome if they're free. Won't be giving them any money for it.
Castle of illusion, World of illusion would be nice or quackshot
On the Switch you can just purchase the new games as DLC, I assume it will be/is the same on xbox.
