|style="text-align: left;"|The 3DS eShop and Switch versions have widescreen aspect ratios, with the Switch being slightly wider and the 3DS eShop version being toggleable between original and widescreen formats. The 3DS eShop version is missing the New graphics option from the PC and Switch versions, all soundtracks aside from the original, and the Machine Gun Challenge mode. The Switch version has exclusive features including: dynamic lighting and animated talksprites, local co-op multiplayer, the Sand Pit Challenge mode, two additional soundtrack options (Famitracks and Ridiculon), and other quality of life changes. The 3DS version has an exclusive stereoscopic 3D effect that has not been included as a VR option for the PC and Switch versions, and it also has a Nemesis Challenge mode that is also on the Switch version but not the PC version. Cave Story 3D exists as a physical-only 3D remake, but it lacks many Cave Story+ features and runs at a slower framerate. | |style="text-align: left;"|The 3DS eShop and Switch versions have widescreen aspect ratios, with the Switch being slightly wider and the 3DS eShop version being toggleable between original and widescreen formats.

Since game consoles are much less powerful than PCs, it is recommended to avoid PC games ported to consoles. Typically, the games have to be altered to fit the constraints of the console and may be forced to use a radically different control scheme. An exception to this rule would be Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine's N64 port, and the console versions of certain Disney games like ''Cars 2'' and ''Toy Story 3''. In the latter case, the PC versions suffer from downgraded graphics as a consequence of having to account for lower-end systems used by most families. Certain console ports of the PC games, however, may feature exclusive content like completely different soundtracks or extra missions. A notable example is the [https://bw.artemislena.eu/nolf/wiki/The_Operative:_No_One_Lives_Forever#PlayStation_2_Edition flashback mission] in ''No One Lives Forever'', which is only available for the PS2 version of the game. | Since game consoles are much less powerful than PCs, it is recommended to avoid PC games ported to consoles.

− | + | ==SNES== | |
− | + | Some SNES games suffered from slowdown which may be fixed in ports. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | GBA | + | Many SNES games were ported to the GBA. These versions may have extra features, but at the cost of poorer video and audio quality. The resolution is significantly lower at 240 x 160 as opposed to the usual 256 x 224 of SNES games. This leads to a smaller visible playing area, which can be devastating in some cases. The audio is much lower quality than the SNES and almost always uses inferior instrument samples for whatever reason (designated as "worse audio"). Also, most GBA games use much brighter colors to compensate for the lack of contrast in the original GBA display. To have these games display as intended, a shader or a palette patch is needed. Additionally, the GBA has two fewer buttons, leading to compromised control layouts. |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Several SNES games were ported to the PlayStation. More often than not the PS1 ports offer more features. However, the CD format creates loading times. Contrary to popular belief, most of these ports are not emulated. They simply take the text and graphical assets from the SNES game ROM image on the disc, with the rest of the programming being original work. | |

Michel Ancel (the Director) himself has previously stated that he believes that this version is the best version of the game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''PS2:''' Titled "Rayman Revolution". Remake that completely changes the game for better and for worse. This version includes new minigames and bonus challenges, upgrades to Rayman's abilities, level revisions, new music tracks, the option to switch between the gibberish from other versions, newly recorded real language voices, and three new bosses, and Yellow Lum redistribution. The Hall of Doors was replaced with three central hubs, called The Minisaurus Plain, Globox's House, and The Rainbow Creek, in which to walk to each level freely, play Ly's bonus challenges unlocked by freeing Revolution-exclusive prisoners called Familiar Spirits, and purchase ability upgrades or the new minigames from the Teensies with the Yellow Lums the player has collected. To date, Revolution is the only edition of Rayman 2 that lets players save when a level has been only partially completed, but like all versions of the game, it still uses manual saves. This is also the only version in which the 1,000th Yellow Lum can be obtained normally. However, despite the numerous improvements and enhancements to the gameplay, the frame rate is not as smooth as the near-constant 60fps of the Sega Dreamcast version, and certain graphical effects from that version, such as the blue ring trails that accompany a fully charged gold fist orb, are also gone.

The Inventory has been made accessible through the GamePad's touchscreen, with no need to pause the game. some items, such as the Wind Waker, are permanently mapped to certain buttons as opposed to being equipped to the three-item slots. First-person aiming of items is achieved through either the right analog stick or the gamepad's gyroscope, though there is an option to disable the gyroscope. Some cutscenes where Link makes a facial expression silently have voices added to match the expressions. The ending cutscene and staff credits, which were prerendered in the original game, are now fully real-time cutscenes in the remaster. However, the smooth transition effects from the original cutscenes have been replaced by fade-to-white effects, presumably due to the difficulty of implementing the original cutscenes' transitions in real-time rendering. The intro cutscene, which plays upon the start of a new file, is skippable, but no other cutscenes are. |

The end credits now feature a montage of portraits on the left side. Each character received an extra costume, depending on whom Lloyd chooses in Flanoir. The "Synopsis" option in the menu displays newer entries at the top. The skit portraits shake and move around more to better display the characters' emotions. When a character is about to enter Over Limit, their portrait will start to glow. In the GameCube version, the characters flash red. When the Unison Attack gauge fills up, it glows. Most of the angels' wings became a deeper color. The GameCube object in the Sylvarant Base was removed and replaced by the Sony logo. The Sword Dancer appears on the field as a regular white skull. When Sheena summons a spirit, a cut-in of her face appears on the screen. There are more post-battle animations. The dark rooms in the Temple of Lightning went from slightly visible to pitch-black. There are several books about Mithos the Hero, which can be read for deeper insight into the character and the Kharlan War itself. There are two new events that will allow the player to gain more insight into the ancient hero Mithos. The first can be watched by talking to Mithos while he is living in Altessa's House, and the second can be watched by speaking with Yuan Ka-Fai after the events in Welgaia. After completely restoring Luin, a chat with Pietro can trigger a scene where both he and the village residents thank the group by allowing one of them to become honorary mayor. Whoever takes this role is the player's choice, and whoever out of the group is chosen will gain a point in affection. The sealed spirits of young Kratos, Yuan, and Mithos can be challenged in the Underworld instead of the Living Armor of the GameCube edition.

CG cutscene graphics sadly always have an ugly smoothing filter that can't be disabled. PC version has bad keyboard controls, but has a modding community thanks to these games being native ports instead of emulation. |

Some keys cannot be remapped at all for keyboard, and certain modes do not retain controller remapping changes. Has new modes the 3DS version lacks. This used to be only way to enjoy the full story cut from the overseas release up until the 3DS version received a patch in some territories and the Striker Pack compilation rectified this. A new port of the Striker Pack for the Switch and PS4 which runs at 60 FPS, features HD event graphics and portraits, balance tweaks, and incorporates its sequel's difficulty system. A patch was released for the PC version on May 2018 that removed dual screen setup and added 60 FPS support, but a recent patch broke the game's Speedrun and Other Modes on PC. |

− | |''' | + | |style="text-align:left;"|Updated with "new" features and content which were previously missing from the original release due to developers missing on deadlines and inability to fit everything planned into the game in time (though some of this initially-missing content could be later added to the game via free DLC option done via now-defunct official website connection performed from game's main menu). Sound samples (music for the entire game and all other sounds alike) has been heavily compressed to fit on one mini-DVD disc, drastically diminishing the game's overall experience as Dreamcast's original release used uncompressed Redbook/CD-DA tier quality sound samples (actually one of the main reasons why Dreamcast's version had to be cut into two separate GD-ROM discs: the size of sound files in the original is truly huge due to it being absolutely raw samples for each and every sound in the game). Due to lack of VMU functionality an entire separate mini-game ("Pinta's Quest") was completely removed, which, considering that Pinta was a fully developed separate 3D character model in the original game, essentially means Gamecube's port completely lacks the said character (however, to somewhat balance this out Gamecube's port added several completely new characters that were never in the Dreamcast's release or planned to be in it even DLC content-wise, such as Piastol and fake pirate trio for example). Gamecube's port also improves quite a bit on most characters', vehicles, ships', and locations' models sheer polygon count-wise, adding more details and rounding up previously clearly rough edges on world's 3D models, but these improvements are hardly noticeable by the untrained eye so you have to know exactly where to look to spot a significant difference from the original Dreamcast release. Gamecube's port also fixed previously bugged "Zivilyn Bane's quest" line and this can be done fully from start to finish now (Dreamcast's original Japanese release's "Zivilyn Bane" quest can be fully completed too, but US' and EU's later localization broke some flags during development which produces bug that renders the said quest completely uncompletable, pun not intended, in any versions of this game other than the said very first original Japanese release on the Dreamcast and later Gamecube ports of it). |

Didn't include any material from the Saturn version besides a redone Maria boss fight, and a playable Maria inspired from her ''Rondo of Blood'' moveset. |
