The recording is recorded in the PAL format, as the game was only released in PAL regions. In addition, all but two stages have their own unique music.ĭavid Whittaker's driver required its user(s) to write the music in 6502 assembly macros. The arrangements are decent, and most span over a minute long. He also arranged the music for the Game Boy version. Five of the songs are Elton John songs and the other three are Hans Zimmer's, and were arranged by one of the main composers at Dark Technologies at the time, Kevin Bateson. The Lion King only has eight songs (not much for an NES game in 1995), all of which are borrowed from the movie score by Elton John and Hans Zimmer. Some have even said the unlicensed version of the game by Super Game is better. Many have heavily criticized the game for its poor controls, graphics, and audio. Most of the levels are your typical sidescroller, but there is a level in which Simba must outrun the stampede, which is from a top-down perspective. The player plays as Simba throughout the six stages of the game. The Game Boy version was developed first, and the NES version was directly converted from it, though some content is missing. The game was also released on the Game Boy, also by the same developer and publisher.
It was only released in Europe, and the very last NES game to be licensed by Nintendo for games of all regions. The Lion King is an action-platformer developed by Enigma Variations (under their Dark Technologies name) and published by Virgin Games. For the DOS version, see The Lion King (DOS). For the unlicensed version, see The Lion King: Super Game (NES). This page is for the licensed NES version.
