Is it just about the nostalgia?

I'll say this much: SNES Aladdin has (imo) aged far, far better than MD Aladdin in terms of looks, sounds and playability.

I feel like MD Aladdin looks, sounds and plays like a mess nowadays, and I say that as somebody who acknowledged the MD version's superiority back then.

I would easily take the SNES version over it nowadays.
