In short, those behind Aladdin went on to do Shiny Entertainment.

It doesn't say that anywhere.

If you look at the actual credits, a lot of the people who worked on Earthworm Jim had also worked on Aladdin, but not all of them had. And not everyone at Virgin who worked on Aladdin went on to join Shiny. So it isn't accurate to say that Shiny made Aladdin.

It depends on what you want to consider a company.  If you consider it a legal entity with name, then no, Shiny didn't make it.  However, if you consider a company its employees, then the core of what is Shiny worked on Alladin.  Sure, others may of been added, but the same people who worked on Aladdin, also work on Shiny's stuff.

This last point is important, because what was floated around here is the "CLEARLY SUPERIOR, NO QUESTIONS AT ALL!" Capcom did SNES Aladdin, while the "GARBAGE BEYOND BELIEF" Virgin did  the Genesis/Megadrive Aladdin. Since we all know that Virgins sucks beyond belief and nothing is good, CLEARLY that makes the SNES Aladdin the ONLY choice for Aladdin, while the Genesis Aladdin, is something that makes the ears bleed and is ONLY praised because it was fodder in console wars.  So yes, Genesis fanboys have to resort to games that make people's ears bleed, because the Genesis isn't even in the same class as the SNES, in ANY capacity.  Or so the thinking goes and spun here.
