News of the Disney Classic Games Collection dropped last week, which revealed the previously released bundle of Aladdin and The Lion King would be joined by some new titles. Not only is the SNES version of Aladdin being included, but The Jungle Book will also be joining the roster. Since this announcement, many had hoped an upgrade path would be available, and thankfully, publisher Nighthawk Interactive has confirmed this to be true.
As spotted by Nintendo Life, owners of the original game will be able to upgrade to the Disney Classic Games Collection for a one-off charge of $9.99. No word has been mentioned on what the upgrade cost will be in other territories, but we expect it to be in a similar ballpark.
This news will undoubtedly be a massive weight off of many fans' shoulders, who up until this point believed they may be forced to purchase the entire game again. Luckily, this doesn't appear to be the case.
As for when Disney Classic Games Collection will be releasing, the trailer just says Fall 2021, but a French publisher for the game has a November 12 date listed for it. Either way, it won't be long until you're able to relive some nostalgic retro gaming moments.

I'm still stuck on the log level just like I was when I was a child. Lion King is my favourite film, ever, I use to watch it over and over on VHS, I can still recite the whole film and to this day watch it on my birthday, every birthday, much to my wife's displeasure haha. The game itself takes me right back...to hell! Every time I see that 16bit Rafiki I feel a part of me dies inside.
Aladdin however, I can smash through that with ease.
Never played the Jungle Book game before. My wife loves Jungle Book. Might get it for her
Good. The superior version of Aladdin returns.
I have all these games on emulators BUT I will buy this collection. I support retro re-releases but I didn't buy it in 2019 because it didn't have the SNES version of Aladdin which is awesome. The Lion King is hard but beautiful. I haven't played The Jungle Book yet.
@GunValkyrie It should include all Disney's 16-bit games, there aren't a ton of them.
