But this one is on the cartridge for the Switch thus an alternative option than playing or downloading this game online, no?
This is a good price for a classic game that I'm sure plenty of people have nostalgia for and don't want to jump through hoops to play.
Also crazy how a game that came out 27 years ago has been on the net for like 50 years.
Note to the OP, this collection does not include the Capcom game. As stated in the description:
Aladdin
Genesis Version
Japanese Mega Drive Version
GameBoy Version
Colorized GameBoy Version
They also admitted they added the monkey maze to Lion King in order to make it difficult to beat in a rental, not cause they thought it was good. Overall a mediocre set of games.

With that said, i have the clamshell one, it's an exact replica of a genesis case and is pretty awesome
For the people pointing out there's a "collector's case" it costs them less than a dollar to make that, that's not worth $25. Just make your own haha.
If you're uncomfortable emulating, ask yourself, who is making the money off re-selling old games with little to no work done to them? It's not the original developers, I promise you. Half the time they make the newer version worse with half-baked ports or literally are just selling a pre-packaged rom/emulator bundle for an inflated price anyway.
So only buy this if you intend to keep it sealed as a collector's item in hopes it increases in price. Otherwise, just get the standard edition, which is $20 right now at Bestbuy, if you absolutely must have it now.
Personally, I would wait for a steeper price cut. It's been as low at $10.49 for PC on GOG, and I still haven't bothered getting it. Most old platformers haven't aged all that well. Still playable, but I'd rather play something more modern.
