List of notable ports

35 bytes removed, 20:24, 3 May 2015
Updates. Italics for titles. FFT PSP has a new translation over the PS1 release. Removed Capcom vs. SNK 2; it's an arcade game, not a Dreamcast game. I've conceded that Majora's Mask 3D is a port, not a remake.
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|Includes both the original game and a remixed version with remixed music, slightly altered level layouts, and an altered art direction based on the more recent games in the series.
|}
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|Features both the original game and an enhanced graphics mode. The port to 360, PS3, and PC is missing a few effects. All rereleases include ''Chirstmas Nights into Dreams'', but lack versus mode and Sonic the Hedgehog into Dreams.
|}
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|Saturn: Worse graphics, but a few new areas and playable Maria. Released only in Japan.
PSP: Included in ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles''. It has a few porting issues. It also replaces the remarkably cheesy voices with technically-better-but-unremarkable voices, as well as playable Maria (albeit completely different from her Saturn version).
The Xbox 360 version is largely similar to the original release. It removes loading times, but lacks FMVs.
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|Extra Titled ''Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions''. Includes extra content, multiplayer support, redone cutscenes, 16:9 aspect ratio, and new game modes. Suffers from slowdown; this can be fixed with various unofficial patches, but each one introduces its own side effects or potentially unwanted modifications. It also has a new transalation. This version was later released on iOS and Android devices (the latter only in Japan).
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Mega Man Legends
| style="text-align: center;"|PC: Significantly improved graphics. Lacks motion blur. Patches needed for modern systems. FMVs don't work on XP or newer due to more modern OSes lacking the resources needed for .ddv video files.
GC: Full remake using Remake titled ''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes''. Uses the MGS2 engine, but not properly balanced to accommodate for the engine change. Lacks the VR Missions. The tone is a complete face-heel turn, having much less realism than the original game.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|PaRappa the Rapper
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|Part two of ''Persona 2''. This port has widescreen support, a revamed UI, updated cutscenes, an optional updated OST, and selectable difficulty levels. Released only in Japan.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Persona 2: Innocent Sin
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|Part one of ''Persona 2''. This port has widescreen support, a revamed UI, updated cutscenes, an optional updated OST, and selectable difficulty levels.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Resident Evil
| style="text-align: center;"|✓ (R)
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|Rereleased twice on PS1. The poorly-named ''Director's Cut '' is still cut, but includes better character models, an arranged mode, auto aiming from the Japanese release, and an added Beginner difficulty. The ''Dual Shock Ver''. includes DualShock support and a different OST that can only be described as...different. Must be heard to be believed.
Saturn: Includes an extra game mode.
| style="text-align: center;"|PC: Released only in Japan.
PSP: This version is called Titled ''Shin Megami Tensei: Persona''. It has additional content as well as widescreen support, a revamped UI, updated cutscenes and OST, and selectable difficulty levels. The English release reverts many of the original localization changes to be more faithful to the Japanese script. It also reinstates the Snow Queen quest.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Suikoden I - II
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|These ports feature a different OST from the original release. Released in North America as ''Wipeout XL''.
|}
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|Titled ''Conker: Live and Reloaded is ''. It's censored, but has much better graphics and updated multiplayer. Not even the Only plays on an original Xbox 360 can emulate it well.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Banjo-Kazooie
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|Added widescreen mode, generally better framerate and draw distance. Ice Key and Secret Eggs are available if the user also has a savefile for Banjo-Tooie or Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Removed Nintendo references, obviouslysome of which were endearing.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Banjo-Tooie
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|✓ (R)| style="text-align: center;"|The GameCube version has audio glitches when moving between areas in Clock Town, framerate issues, and random crashes. The 3DS remake version features enhancements similar to those in Ocarina of Time 3D, as well as manual camera control when played on a New Nintendo 3DS. However, it changes some key gameplay mechanics in ways that fans of the original might not prefer.

| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|
| style="text-align: center;"|Slightly updated with new features. The music has been compressed to fit on one disc.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Ikaruga
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|The PS2 version is technically inferior. The PC version has a plethora of bugs. Honestly, you're better off sticking with the Dreamcast version.
|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Capcom Vs SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting 2001
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|✓

| style="text-align: center;"|Resident Evil Code: Veronica
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|

|-
| style="text-align: center;"|Sonic Adventure
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|All ports of the complete version of the game are referred to as Titled ''Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut''. They feature Features updated character models and a new mission mode. The 2003 version includes unlockable Game Gear games. The GameCube GC version features GBA connectivity for the Chao Gardens. Unfortunately, each successive port of the game manages to be more bug-ridden than the last. Unofficial patches to fix many issues exist for the PC release(s).
|-

| style="text-align: center;"|✓
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
