If by inferior you mean better animation, in game sounds and music, then yes, that might explain the "unncessary violence".  Anyhow, people can decide for themselves among the two here:

If you judge a game's quality by its animation, I guess so. But in that case Dragon's Lair is the best game of all time.

I'm sorry, but no Genesis game has better sound than its SNES counterpart. Everything rendered by that sound card sounds harsh and tinny and makes my ears bleed.

Going to agree with badgenome. The Genesis game had better animations, but everything else is worse. The music is easily better on the SNES.

But let's focus on the gameplay. The SNES game is simpler constructed (Aladdin has no weapon, instead jumps on enemies) and is relatively easy, but it's fun to play from start to finish. The MD game has some dumb level design and flaws in the collision detection which can easily lead to frustration. The MD game is one of those titles that impressed with its graphics, but there wasn't much substance behind it.

In the end it's not surprising that the SNES game is better, because it was made by a better developer. Capcom beats... who was it again... Virgin (?) any day of the week.

Shiny, which did Earthworm Jim, did Aladdin.  So, no, you don't blanetedly say that Capcom wins.

And I will again add another link to this debate on which version was better:
