List of notable ports

This page is a candidate for deletion. The reason is:

"Probably has nothing to do with emulation. Would likely be in /v/'s Recommended Games Wiki."

If you disagree with the candidate, explain why at the talk page or improve the page and remove the {{delete}} tag.

Remember to check for any active links to the page and its history before deleting.

In situations where emulation of a system makes it harder to run a video game than natively, it might be worthwhile to consider playing a native port of a classic game instead. Some systems may even have inherent flaws that are avoided on other platforms. If your system of choice is a standard PC, a native port may be easier to run.

Emulation General does not aim to provide a complete list of every single port ever. Instead, we'll focus on games that are known to have issues that can be solved by using another system. See #External links section, those may help if the game you are looking for isn't on the list.

^B

This is an unofficial port made without the authorization of the game's right holder with an actual malicious intention of making profit, often refereed as bootlegs.

^E

This is an official emulated release. Usually the ROM can be extracted and played in another emulator.

^Rmk

This is a remake, which is the same game remade from scratch and can dramatically differ from the original game.

^Rmstr

This is a remaster, which is the same game released at a later date but with minor alterations.

^U

This is a community-made unofficial port.

Console versions may be more convenient to set up. See Virtual Console games, PlayStation Store games, and/or Xbox Live Arcade games.

Personal computers

It's usually preferred to use a native PC port rather than emulation.

When veteran developers port PC releases, they usually take into account the variety of potential hardware configurations their users might have and strive to have games working well even on the lowest specs. However, to any standard developer this may not be feasible (probably due to deadlines), so they may often give very little customization targeting the recommended specs and move on to the next release.

Depending on the studio, some developers may opt to release on the three main x86 platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) but in most cases, PC ports are Windows-only (basically enforcing the catch-22 of Linux adoption) and may only get a polished but outsourced macOS port later on.

Most indie games likely have cross-platform support as a way to maximize sales, as opposed to major publishers that see cross-platform support as a hindrance to their sales.

However, sometimes ports were sloppy, and prone to bugs and/or optimization issues at sales' start (e.g. Grand Theft Auto IV and Batman: Arkham Knight) or right up to today (like Saints Row 2). Every port has its own troubles so it has to be approached on a case-by-case basis. The game may also only have very outdated options, such as only a few resolutions. It's best to check PCGamingWiki for any potential issues you might have.

Classic games may only be available for the Windows 9x family as 16-bit software, which does not run on x86_64 without some form of emulation (x86 is a different story), so getting them to work could be stressful. However, Wine can play a majority of classic titles very well. Some ports may be for DOS and are supported by DOSBox.

There are also community patches which can fix some of these issues and depend on the complexity of the game, it may have a cross-platform game engine recreation. Depending on a game's popularity, it may even have a full remake. Obscure titles may have no fixes at all.

Older games may not have good controller support as Xinput does not have backwards compatibility with DirectInput. Common problems with XInput-based controllers with older PC games includes directional pad and/or analog triggers not being recognized. In that case, DirectInput wrappers such as XInput Plus and Xidi can be helpful. Alternatively, using key-to-gamepad mappers such AntiMicroX can also circumvent these issues.

While we live in a time where the PC versions are automatically regarded as the "definitive" ones because of the benefits the platform has over consoles, it was not always the case. This section covering games that either received poor ports where emulation is preferable, or were ported with annoying flaws that prevent the PC version to be the ultimate one, or got completely different versions compared to console titles of the same name.

Game	Preferred platform(s)	PC version issues
007 Nightfire	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by Gearbox Software. Some weapons appear in the console version but not the PC version, has fewer levels than the console versions and does not implement driving mode. It uses Half-Life's game engine, GoldSrc. Had a mixed reception compared to the console's counterpart.
2006 FIFA World Cup / FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for Xbox 360.
Alone in the Dark (2008)	PlayStation 3	PS3 version titled as Alone in the Dark: Inferno, includes an new gameplay sequence in Episode 6 and addresses a number of gameplay issues found in the PC port of original Xbox 360 version, such as additions of full camera control, more zoomed-out third-person camera view, more user-friendly inventory system and tighter driving mechanics.
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain	PlayStation	Worse camera, slower animations, poor quality sound and FMVs compared to PS1 version. Numerous crash issues and incompatibility with the modern PCs. Most of the issues can be fixed by Verok's GL Wrapper & Patch.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Does not include foliage animation and the Solid Snake outfit from the console versions.
Crazy Taxi	Dreamcast Nintendo GameCube	The 2002 PC port is locked to 50 FPS, is missing the licensed soundtrack, and is prone to crashing when loading into the city without Windows Compatibility Mode fixes. The 2011/2014 Steam version is playable at 60 FPS, but suffers from many of the same problems as previous PC port and runs horribly due to bad optimization with DirectX 9. Use DXVK, SilentPatch, and Crazy Taxi Overhaul to fix the issues with current Steam version, or just play the Dreamcast version.
Cröixleur Sigma	PlayStation 4 Nintendo Switch	The Japanese PlayStation 4 version has PSVR capabilities (was removed in the international releases for reasons unknown), while all versions of the Switch port feature a pseudo-VR "Gyro Mode" that recreates VR through the Joy-Con's gyroscopic accelerometer, and both console versions have local co-op multiplayer for select modes, all of which are missing in the latest "Deluxe Edition" version on PC. The PC version of Deluxe Edition also introduced a bug with the Wanderer feature in the Dungeon Mode which causes the player to take severe damage (if not One-Hit K.O.) from them unless the game is played in Offline Mode. English translation for the in-game subtitles are also worse in the PC version with missing spaces between words or missing text strings, leading to a lot of run off sentences. Fortunately, the Switch version can be emulated perfectly via Yuzu or its derivative. The PS4 version's performance on current PS4 emulators such as shadPS4 is unknown.
Darkstone	PlayStation	The 3D engine in the PC version, while outputting in higher resolution, is known to produce rendering errors on some systems, both older and newer. The music is very glitchy and dialogue audio cuts off abruptly. The PC version allows multiplayer and two-character mode, but some PS1 features like selling artifacts are missing. Some players also find the camera/battle controls awkward and unintuitive compared with the console.
Devil May Cry 5	PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X/S	Сonsoles has an expanded "Special Edition" version of the game with additional features (Legendary Dark Knight Mode, ray tracing and Turbo Mode), which are not available on PC.
Driver: San Francisco	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Missing the split screen multiplayer mode and a grainy orange filter.
Dynasty Warriors 4 / Shin Sangokumusou 3	PlayStation 2	Although the PC version (subtitled as Hyper in all localizations) has graphical and AI improvements over the original PS2 release, it lacks content from the standalone addons Xtreme Legends and Empires.
FIFA 06 FIFA 07	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles and titled as FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup, Xbox 360 versions of these games are completely different and visually superior, although it has limited content on the Xbox 360 compared to 6th generation home consoles and PC - EA cut several leagues from the Xbox 360 version of the game.
FIFA 08 FIFA 09 FIFA 10	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for 7th generation.
FIFA 11	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	After long time shipping 6th generation based game to PC, this one is finally based on the version for 7th generation consoles but with limited quantity of new features.
FIFA 14	PlayStation 4 (Pro) Xbox One (X/S)	Based on the version for 7th generation consoles, instead on superior one for 8th generation.
FIFA 21 FIFA 22	PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X/S	Based on the version for 8th generation consoles, instead on superior one for 9th generation.
Finding Nemo	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio.
Forza Motorsport 6	Xbox One	There was a massively cut-down, free-to-play PC version of the game, known as Forza Motorsport 6: Apex. Also features optional micro-transactions and contains only 63 cars and 12 racing events.[1][2]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas	PlayStation 2	Many missing effects, worse textures and different map geometry, compared to the PS2 version. See here and here (also see #PlayStation 2 section). Most of the problems can be fixed by using mods and patches. However, the retail "Second Edition" (v2), Steam, and Rockstar Games Launcher versions need to be downgraded to be moddable. Use this pack, "Proper Fixes" and SkyGFX for Windows version.
Gun	Xbox 360	Better visuals on Xbox 360 version.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio. Game originally released for Windows and Mac OS in 2001 and developed by KnowWonder and published by Electronic Arts. A new Philosopher's Stone game was initially rumoured in June 2003 for sixth-generation consoles. It was officially confirmed in July 2003 that EA was developing a new game for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles based on the game engine from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets released in 2002. This new game was developed by Warthog Games and set out to fix some of the problems encountered in Chamber of Secrets such as loading times. The game uses similar character and location designs as the Chamber of Secrets game and the previous generation consoles by making them 3D. See Flandrew's 2 comparison videos for more information: for the game as a whole and for Quidditch.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets	PlayStation 2	Completely different game, developed by a different studio. PS2 developed by EA UK, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube versions by Eurocom and PC version by KnowWonder. There are also slight differences between the three console versions of the game. The Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game allow the player to access a broom and enter free-flight mode. While only the PlayStation 2 version allows the player to land anywhere they want, in the Xbox and Nintendo GameCube versions the landing zones are limited. In the Nintendo GameCube version, there is an exclusive feature involving GC–GBA connectivity that allows a secret room to be opened in the GC version when connected with the GBA version of the game. See Flandrew's comparisons for more information: for the game as a whole and for Quidditch.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio. PS2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube versions developed by EA UK and PC version by KnowWonder. The PlayStation 2 version features mini-games compatible with the EyeToy. See Flandrew's comparison for more information.
Just Cause	Xbox 360	Xbox 360 version is a "soft remaster" of the initial launch, and it had slightly better graphics, taking the OG Xbox as base and enhancing it. The 360 was promised as a "next-gen version" but in reality, nothing changed gameplay-wise, they are just the graphics that are better with a slightly cleaner UI.[3]
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring	Xbox	Completely different game, developed by a different studio. See Flandrew's comparison for more information.
Madden NFL 2001	PlayStation 2	Placeholder text
Madden NFL 2002	Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Madden NFL 2002 for PC is once again more of a console rehash than it is something new or innovative, as it's based mostly on last year's PlayStation 2 engine instead of the much-improved 2002 console iteration. That said, PC owners will be pleased to know that they're getting the most feature rich Madden around with plenty of extra stuff that's not in any of the console versions.[4] Xbox and Nintendo GameCube versions are slightly better-looking than its PS2 counterpart, but that's it.[5][6]
Madden NFL 06	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on graphically better one for Xbox 360. Though most people prefer Madden NFL 06 of the sixth generation over those of the seventh generation ones.
Madden NFL 07	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on graphically better one for 7th generation versions. Though some people prefer Madden NFL 07 of the sixth generation over those of the seventh generation ones.
Metal Gear Solid	PlayStation	The FMVs don't work on modern PCs and lack blur effects. The GOG.com release fixes the FMVs, and a mod fixes additional issues.
NBA 2K14	PlayStation 4 (Pro) Xbox One (X/S)	Based on the version for 7th generation consoles, instead on graphically better one for eighth gen.[7]
NBA 2K21 NBA 2K22 NBA 2K23 NBA 2K24	PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X/S	Based on the version for 8th generation consoles, instead on graphically better one for ninth gen.[8] After four years 2K finally announced that NBA 2K25 on PC will be New Gen, which means that all associated modes and features, excluding crossplay, will be available to play on PC via Steam. This includes ProPLAY™, MyCAREER, MyTEAM, Play Now and, for the first time on PC – The City, MyNBA Eras, and The W.[9]
NBA Live 06 NBA Live 07	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on graphically better one for Xbox 360. Though most people prefer Live 06 and NBA Live 07 of the sixth generation over those of the seventh generation ones.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2	PlayStation 2	Different engine with inferior graphics, and developed by a different studio.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)	Xbox 360	The graphics were slightly inferior compared to the Xbox 360 version. Use Xbox 360 Stuff Pack mod for Windows version.
NHL 07	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for Xbox 360.
NHL 08 NHL 09	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for 7th generation. However, similarly to FIFA 07 situation, NHL 08 has limited features on the 7th generation version compared to 6th generation home consoles and PC.
Portal	Xbox 360	The port of the original Portal game on Xbox 360 was titled as Portal: Still Alive. It was exclusively released on Xbox Live Arcade on October 22, 2008 and it shouldn't be confused with Orange Box version of the game. It contains the original story of Portal developed by Valve, 14 new bonus test chambers modified from the Portal: The Flash Version MapPack created by We Create Stuff, and 9 new achievements (12 total). There are no additional story-related levels. It's possible to be played on newer Xbox consoles through backwards compatibility: [10], [11]. Still Alive has never been fully ported to any other platforms; the Nintendo Switch port of Portal includes the bonus chambers, but it is otherwise based on the original Orange Box version of the game, lacking the new achievements and some small details present in Still Alive on Xbox 360. An unofficial PC port of the bonus levels also exists, but it similarly lacks the new achievements, and is inaccurate to the original Xbox 360 version in some minor ways. Also see Portal on game engine recreations and source ports page.
PowerSlave/Exhumed	Windows Rmk PlayStation Sega Saturn	A completely different game; while the original PC release is a straightforward FPS get from point A to point B, while the Sega Saturn and PlayStation versions are closer to being a 3D metroidvania. Whether Saturn or PlayStation version is better is a matter of taste; PlayStation version has unlocked framerate and true translucency for water surfaces, but its level geometry is simplified and lighting is distinctly different. Both of the console versions served as a basis for the 2022 remaster for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC.
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands	Wii	The Wii version is a completely different (and superior) game than the PS3/360/PC version.
Pro Evolution Soccer 6 / Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for Xbox 360.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 Pro Evolution Soccer 2017	PlayStation 4 (Pro) Xbox One (X/S)	Slightly better graphics on the eighth gen home consoles compared to seventh gen home consoles and PC version which could be considered as a hybrid port. Although game modes and gameplay are the same. See comparisons for PES2015, PES2016, PES2017
Rayman 2	Dreamcast PlayStation 2 3DS	Too many differences to list here. See there and there. Wikipedia:Michel Ancel has said that he considers the Dreamcast port the best version of the game. Rayman 3D (the 3DS port) is based on the Dreamcast version with some additional content, but has some additional issues, inferior visuals and FPS drops. New 3DS models can fix the performance issues by forcing New 3DS mode using CFW. PlayStation 2 version also has some advantages compared to other versions.
Silent Hill 2	PlayStation 2 Xbox	Missing some effects, fog effects are lower quality, audio is worse and some effects are missing details, badly converted FMVs, and has compatibility issues on modern versions of Windows and newer hardware. Many problems from the PC version can be patched using the Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition.
The Sims	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Different engine, developed by a different studio.
The Simpsons: Hit & Run	Xbox	Strange physics and other problems on modern PCs, though can be fixed with Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher
Shrek 2	Xbox PlayStation 2 Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio. See Flandrew's comparison for more information. Got a PC port a year later under the name "Shrek 2: Team Action".
Sonic Adventure DX	Nintendo GameCube Dreamcast	Too many to list here. The Nintendo GameCube version is also affected by many downgrades compared to the Dreamcast version, but is playable at 60 FPS and story cutscenes can be skipped. Use SADX Mod Installer to downgrade and patch any of the PC ports, or just play the Dreamcast version.
Sonic Adventure 2	Nintendo GameCube Dreamcast	Nintendo GameCube version has some improved character models, revamped multiplayer, and a few quality-of-life changes, but is marred many visual downgrades, errors during the cutscenes, and worse sound mixing than the Dreamcast version. HD version on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC supports 16:9 aspect-ratio, but is inconsistent between in-engine cutscenes as it sometimes shifts back to 4:3, is missing some Chao Garden features, content featured in the Nintendo GameCube version is locked behind a DLC paywall, introduces more bugs than other versions, and sound mixing is even worse to the point of blaring over other sounds. Patch the PC version with SA Mod Manager and install various mods to fix these problems, or just play the Dreamcast version.
Sonic Riders	Nintendo GameCube Xbox PlayStation 2	4-player split screen is not supported on PC. The Nintendo GameCube and Xbox versions have more visual effects, such as the heat haze in Egg Factory.
Spider-Man 2	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	PS2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube versions completely different game compared to PC version, developed by a different studio. It was "dumbed down" for a young audience and thus featured more simplistic and less challenging gameplay. See Xbox section for more information.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio. The remake titled SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is based on the original console versions.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio.
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Completely different game, developed by a different studio.
Sudeki	Xbox	Original PC version is copy-protected by the notorious StarForce driver that is known to cause BSODs and other serious system issues. Game may refuse to run at all without compatibility mode on newer systems. Audio and possibly some visuals are of degraded quality compared to the Xbox version.
Team Fortress 2	Xbox 360	2007 version (still available on console with Orange Box) slightly better visual details in texture, lighting, animation and physics compared to the most recent Steam version (build 4016097). Xbox 360 version has more features compared to PlayStation 3 version. Servers on the PlayStation 3 went offline permanently on March 28, but while the PS3 version is no longer it seems the servers for the Xbox 360 version are still running. PC version, in June 2011, became free-to-play, with revenue derived from microtransactions for in-game cosmetics. A 'drop system' was also added and refined, allowing free-to-play users to periodically receive in-game equipment and items. Discontent with recent updates has driven some players back to the original/vanilla, pre-free-to-play version of Team Fortress 2. This has led them to explore options like the Team Fortress 2 Classic mod or console versions of the game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Based on the version for sixth generation consoles?, instead on graphically better one for seventh gen.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	Shadows, water and torchlight may not render correctly on modern PCs. It is recommended to play it on the original Xbox.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent	PlayStation 2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube	The PC version is the сontroversial 7th gen version, not the superior 6th gen version.
Tomb Raider (1996)	PlayStation	The PC version of the game is notorious for having missing music. Patches exist that add it from the PS1 version. Note that the proper music is not a continuous soundtrack and only plays when certain events happen; to test if your version has been patched, see if the demo in Lara's Home asks you to use the joystick.
Tomb Raider: Legend	Xbox 360	In the PC version the "Next Generation Content" option enables enhanced graphics based on the Xbox 360 release, but has bugs such as missing wetness effects on Lara, misaligned ropes and vines, and random crashing on levels such as Kazakhstan.
Tomb Raider: Underworld	Xbox 360	The PC version does not include some of the graphical improvements from the Xbox 360 release.
Toy Story 3	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	The Windows version is a port of the Wii version instead of the X360/PS3 versions, have fewer Toy Box options for gameplay and town customization, and lack a multiplayer option.
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark	PlayStation 4 Xbox One	The PC version lacks the improved lighting and reflections from the PS4/Xbox One versions.
Trouble Witches: Episode 1 ~ Daughters of Amalgam	PlayStation 4 Nintendo Switch	The latest PC version, subtitled "Origin", is missing newer content, features, and DLC from the later produced "FINAL!" version for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
True Crime: New York City	PlayStation 2	Lots of graphical effects missing on PC version and lots of bugs and issues: [12]. The Xbox version looks competent on the surface, but the developers accidentally pushed the wrong build of the game into production according to what we know. The build they pushed has extra AI pathing issues, physics issues, and a mid-boss where the throw mechanic is broken, instead requiring frame perfect inputs or else you'll be softlocked. But none of these other versions can prepare you for the atrocity that is the Nintendo GameCube version of the game. While both the Xbox and Nintendo GameCube version were ported by Exakt Entertainment, it appears that the Nintendo GameCube version got far less effort overall similarly to PC version. Lighting and shading has been simplified resulting in a flatter looking world, especially during daytime scenes. A lot of other effects are missing completely, such as water physics in flooded basements.
UEFA Champions League 2006–2007	Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for Xbox 360.
UEFA Euro 2008	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Based on the version for 6th generation consoles, instead on superior one for 7th generation.
X-Men: The Official Game	Xbox 360	Slightly better graphics compared to 6th generation consoles and PC.

Console ports of PC games

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 X360/PS3 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 being ported from the inferior Wii versions, instead of the superior X360 and PS3 versions. Certain console ports of the PC games, however, may feature exclusive content like completely different soundtracks or extra missions. A notable example is the flashback mission in No One Lives Forever, which is only available for the PS2 version of the game.

Spelunker	Commodore 64 NES Arcade Rmk MSX Mobile PlayStation 3 Rmk PlayStation 4 Rmk Nintendo Switch Rmk	C64: A new opening music in the title screen is available, which was featured in most versions. NES: Developed by TOSE and published by both Irem and Broderbund. Based on the Commodore 64 version, the NES version is known to be one of the most unreasonable games in the system, to the point of being a cultural heritage among Japanese gamers. This version also introduces additional difficulties that are applied after beating the game up to six times, such as making the keys invisible to the player. ARC: Developed by Irem. The game includes an energy meter, which is depleted by touching in enemies, hazards or falling off. Such energy can be recovered with water bottles. It is possible to continue in this version by inserting coins. Later, an updated revision of the game called Spelunker: 23 no Kagi was released only in Japan, and adds new gimmicks, such as swimming and skateboards (this update should not be confused with Spelunker II on the NES). MSX: Developed by Irem. Basically a port of the NES version that is slow. The floor and wall colors are swapped from orange to blue. Japan-only. PS3: Known as Spelunker HD. Features new stages and can switch back to the original NES graphics at any time. PS4/NSW: Known as Spelunker HD Deluxe. Based on HD. Most re-releases are emulations of the NES version.

Namco (now as Bandai Namco Entertainment) often re-release their Arcade games through the Namco Museum series, although in recent times, Hamster re-releases them as part of Arcade Archives.

SNES

Some SNES games suffered from slowdown which may be fixed in ports.

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. Contrarily 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.

Virtual Jockey (unreleased)	PlayStation	Known as Jockey Zero. Japan-only.

Nintendo 64

The Nintendo 64 is a difficult system to emulate, and no emulator has a high degree of game compatibility. It may be easier to rely upon a port rather than try to emulate it.

While system requirements are substantially higher, emulating the N64 Virtual Console releases on the Wii results in more accurate emulation, even making some unplayable games playable.

Game	Platforms	Notes

Doom 64	Windows Xbox One PlayStation 4 Nintendo Switch	PC: Unofficial fan-made port by the developer that went on to remaster the Turok games. Features widescreen, higher frame rate, keyboard, and mouse support. Some bugs are left unaddressed in the unofficial port, however. Requires extracting data from the game's ROM to play. Can be found here. Xbox One/PlayStation 4/Switch/PC: Officially ported in 2020 by Doom EX's developer and other Doom modders. The official port is more faithful to the original game compared to EX with has some quality-of-life improvements. It had broken stock shaders with DirectX 11 API and inaccuracies to the source material, but these issues has since been patched for PC at least.

Rayman 2	Windows Dreamcast PlayStation 2 Rmk	Windows: port of the N64 version and is known to have issues running on modern Windows and it's capped at 30 FPS. Dreamcast: various changes from the Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows versions, including several 2D sprites being replaced by 3D models, improved texture quality, 60fps, and minor level design changes. The Dreamcast version also has exclusive mini-games, six hidden Glob Crystal collectibles, and replaces The Hall of Doors with The Isle of Doors for the world map. 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. But it can reach 60fps through a hack on PCSX2.

Nintendo GameCube

Game	Platforms	Notes
Beyond Good & Evil	PlayStation 2 Xbox Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	PS2: Inferior-looking port, wrong aspect-ratio. Xbox: Was developed by another team so there are some minor changes to the environment. PC: Same as Xbox, needs fan mods in order to fix some graphical bugs on modern hardware, doesn't support controller. PS3/360: A HD remaster of the PC version, Beyond Good & Evil uses a 4:3 image ratio, but displays in 16:9 letterboxed format. On a native 16:9 screen, this results in black bars around the entire screen, needlessly constraining the image. Those were fixed in the HD version. The PS3 version has broken shadows. The game director said that the Nintendo GameCube version is superior.
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg	Windows	Inferior to the original Nintendo GameCube version in several ways - including poor optimization, improper sound mixing, severe screen tearing and poor controller support.
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat	Wii	Titled "Donkey Kong Jungle Beat New Play Control!", controlled using the Wii Remote, using its Nunchuk accessory to control Donkey Kong's movement and its motion detection feature to clap. To accommodate the more traditional control scheme, the level designs were altered to include more obstacles, and players do not have to collect crests to progress. It also replaces the banana-based health meter with a more traditional life system and adds a boss rush mode and support for widescreen television displays.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker	Wii U	HD Remaster. Additional control methods have been added. 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 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess	Wii Wii U	Wii: The two biggest changes are the addition of motion controls, and the entire game world being mirrored to make said motion controls work better for right-handed players, since Link would otherwise wield his sword left-handed. This port was actually released to retail before the original Nintendo GameCube version (except in Japan, where they released both versions simultaneously). Wii U: HD Remaster with too many changes to list here.
Killer 7	Windows PlayStation 2	Full list of changes
Mario Power Tennis	Wii	16:9 widescreen mode. Players can choose to play with the Wii Remote only, or with the Wii Remote/Nunchuk combination for advanced control of playable character participants. It also adds a new gauge pointing out the current Power Shot energy charge shown below character icons during matches.
Metroid Prime 1 Metroid Prime 2	Wii Wii U Nintendo Switch Rmk (Metroid Prime Only)	Too many changes to list here
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door	Nintendo Switch Rmk	The Switch remake updates its art style to match the series' later appearance (post-Sticker Star) with slightly white outlines, but still faithful to the original art style. It uses the USA version's censored graphics in all regions, with additional ones exclusive to the remake. It runs at 30FPS, despite in the original being consistent at 60FPS on less powerful hardware. It features a rearranged soundtrack, which can be disabled with a badge. Features a ton of minor gameplay changes and quality-of-life improvements (like fixing the backtracking issue). The slot machine game at the Pianta Parlor was removed in all regions. The remake features an updated script that changes some of the dialogues, most notably being showcasing Vivian's identity to be trans in all regions (since in the Japanese version, Vivian's character description was 「オンナのコのようで　ホントは　オトコのコ」 ('"She looks like a girl, but she's really a boy"'), while in other regions, those are removed in Nintendo GameCube version). Go to the Mario Wiki if you want to see every single difference.
Tales of Symphonia	Windows PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox One Nintendo Switch	PS2: Japanese only. Battles at 30fps, Loading times were increased. The game's theme song was changed from "Starry Heavens" to "Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto", New animated sequences play inside of the Triet Ruins, Each playable character, as well as some enemies, has a mystic arte. 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 Nintendo 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 Nintendo 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.

Rayman 3	PlayStation 2 Xbox Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Nintendo GameCube: best shadows and water effects. Has an exclusive mini-game by connecting GBA to Nintendo GameCube and another minigame called "2D Nightmare" that can be accessed by using cheats. Has an HD Texture Pack. PS2: Inferior graphics. Xbox: Widescreen option is just 4:3 stretched. PC: The ability to skip FMV cutscenes was removed, some textures are missing, both issues can be fixed with a mod called "Better Rayman 3". The PC version is also available in Czech, Hebrew, Polish, Russian, and Slovak languages. PS3/360: HD Remaster. The Hoodlum Havoc subtitle has been removed, and the font of the logo has been changed to match that of Rayman Origins. The original version opened with a gameplay trailer cut to Groove Armada's "Madder". This has been removed and replaced with a new trailer featuring new music. The intro sequence originally began with the classic UbiSoft logo, used for the first three Rayman games, overlaid against a night sky. This has been cut. Rayman 3 HD features audio problems. Many music tracks start later than they should, and often contain glitches. In the Fairy Council, a Ludiv originally spoke the line 'Oh my God, what is going on here?' In Rayman 3 HD, this line is censored to 'What is going on here?'. Parts of the sky above the Clearleaf Forest have become black, and the color of the water has undergone strange changes. The bonus section of the game contains an "extra" which is a gallery of the artworks seen in the Rayman Origins art booklet which came with the collector's edition. The shadows of objects and characters have been known to glitch up, often passing directly through surfaces and appearing/disappearing at random. The shadows also sometimes are not cast according to the location of the light source, and instead, appear directly beneath the caster. The jewels and Red Lums now cast light onto the geometry around them, as opposed to the original version, where only a glowing texture was placed around them. The Grand Minimus's crown is now transparent. Level scores are now shown at the end of the boss battle sections. The game now features subtitles for the cutscenes and some other in-game dialogue.

PowerSlave/Exhumed	Microsoft Widows PlayStation PlayStation 4 Xbox One Nintendo Switch	PC: A completely different game while the PC is a straightforward FPS get from point A to point B, while Sega Saturn and PS1 versions are closer to being a 3D metroidvania. The console versions served as a basis for the 2022 remaster for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC. Saturn (US Version): comes with an exclusive mini-game called "Death Tank" that isn't in any other version. PSX: auto-aim doesn’t work as well, which makes hitting the smaller enemies more irritating. Moving around is less squirrely, so tight platforming is much easier to do. You even pick up ammo drops more frequently, ensuring you’re always stocked. Levels have been redesigned to various degrees to make for more enclosed areas. The frame rate was increased to 60 FPS, but it can also go down to 20 FPS, and usually wavers in between for the majority of the game.

MDK2	Microsoft Windows PlayStation 2 Nintendo Wii	PC: in first port from 2000 year was added difficulty levels and the ability to save everywhere. Was later re-released as MDK2 HD, featuring high-definition 3D models, reworked textures, improved lighting, and remastered music tracks but suffers from frame-rate issues and glitches.

HD remaster with widescreen support, based on the Xbox version. Ability to save anywhere in both games, some minors changes to the town, a lot of bugs.
Space Channel 5 Part 2	PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 Microsoft Windows	Dreamcast:: Japanese only, fan translation is available. runs at 25 FPS. PS2: Runs at 29.97 FPS, lower resolution, and lower 2D assets resolution. PC: HD remasters with widescreen support. Frame rate is capped at half the refresh rate so the monitor needs to be set to 59.94 Hz. Some of the Japanese voices are used even when the game is set to English. Some Speech lines aren't being played. PS3/360: HD remasters with widescreen support. RPCS3 has an option to set the frame rate to the accurate 29.97 (VBlank NTSC Fixup). Some Speech lines aren't being played.
Skies of Arcadia	Nintendo GameCube	Updated with "new" features and content which were previously missing from the original release due to developers missing on deadlines and their inability to fit everything planned into the game in time (though some of this initially-missing content could be later added via the free DLC option done via now-defunct official website connection performed from game's main menu). Nintendo 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. Nintendo 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 lolcowlization ports broke some flags during development which produces a nasty bug that inevitably leads to the said sub-quest being completely uncompletable, pun not intended, in any versions of this game other than the said very first original Japanese release on the Dreamcast itself and later Nintendo GameCube ports of it). Some of the visual effects (lighting and translucency in some spots, such as water/ice/etc, or some of the spells/skills) were also reworked/improved, having slightly wider color gamut depth. Sound samples (music for the entire game and all other sounds in it alike) have been heavily compressed so that the game could be 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 (this is actually one of the main core and direct reasons why Dreamcast's version had to be stretched 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). IMPORTANT UPDATE: In the recent years ALL of Skies of Arcadia's/Eternal Arcadia's (as well as several of the other Dreamcast titles') original Dreamcast DLCs were able to be recovered and preserved by the fan community, as separate individual files that can be stored on your storage drives, all of which can be openly found on the internet and easily downloaded, and they can be loaded directly into the game if you're emulating it, so you can actually play the "vanilla" Dreamcast releases with all of it's official DLC content enabled and working (on emulators such as Flycast, for example), thus, emulating Dreamcast's original release is still a genuinely feasible "alternative" to GC remaster, despite the fact that GC port has more content/better graphics/higher FPS/bug fixes in it. 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 Nintendo GameCube's port completely lacks the said character (however, to somewhat balance this out Nintendo 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). Besides this, since there is no VMU in this GC port, "moon fish searching" mini-game's "sonar sound" feature was redone with "sonar's sound" now being included directly into the game (in the Dreamcast's original this mini-game was essentially unplayable without a physical VMU attached to your joypad, because only VMU produced the "sonar" sound and also had a visual cue in form of Cupil changing facial expressions on the VMU's screen the closer you were getting to the said "moon fish". What should also be noted, is that the very last "moon fish" was technically unobtainable in the vanilla Dreamcast's original version, IF you didn't download a specific DLC for it beforehand. It was literally a "DLC-locked" content, which becomes worse due to the fact that there is a sub-quest in the game that's directly "tied" to you "collecting moon fish", so you literally couldn't complete/finish it if you didn't have physical VMU in your joypad and/or didn't have a specific DLC downloaded and installed for the "last moon fish" to become available in the original vanilla version of the game. In the GC remaster all "moon fish" can be obtained without any additional stipulations/requirements, however. Also, some of the Dreamcast's modern emulators, such as Flycast for one, have emulated VMU functionality implemented, thus you can play through the original vanilla Dreamcast release just fine nowadays). These days (and thus far. This can change for better/worse in the future) you can download all of the necessary Dreamcast's OG Skies of/Eternal Arcadia's DLCs here or here.
Grandia II	PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 Microsoft Windows Nintendo Switch	PS2: version is technically inferior. PC: original version has a plethora of bugs. The newest PC release is based on the Dreamcast version, but suffers from its own bugs.
Phantasy Star Online	Nintendo GameCube Xbox Microsoft Windows	All ports are based on "Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2" and titled "Phantasy Star Online: Episode I & II".

Sonic Adventure	Nintendo GameCube Microsoft Windows Xbox 360 PlayStation 3	Titled Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. Features updated character models and a new mission mode. Doesn't include Chao Adventure due to a lack of VMU. The 2003 version includes unlockable Game Gear games. The 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).
Sonic Adventure 2	Nintendo GameCube Microsoft Windows Xbox 360 PlayStation 3	Titled Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Features slightly better character models, a more in-depth multiplayer mode, and a new Chao minigame. Doesn't include Chao Adventure 2 due to a lack of VMU. The Nintendo GameCube version features GBA connectivity for the Chao Gardens. The most recent ports have HD resolution and a 16:9 aspect-ratio but separate the multiplayer content as paid DLC.

PlayStation

The PS1 has problems with 3D which become more noticeable when emulating the games at higher than native resolutions. Many PS1 games were ported to Windows. However, some of these PC ports are difficult to run on modern Windows operating systems.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night	Sega Saturn Xbox 360 PSP PS4/iOS/Android	PS1: Original. Some items were rearranged and some dubbing was discarded in the English version. The Japanese Greatest Hits version, as well as the JPN PSN release, reintroduced some of the English bugfixes and fixed the Nocturne easter egg. A fan translation exists for those superior versions. Saturn: Japan-exclusive. Ugly stretched screen. Inferior performance (more slowdown, longer loading times) Added some content (new areas, items, music, and a playable Maria that's a joy for speedrunners, as well as her as a boss), however, Koji Igarashi hated those additions, and they're admittedly low quality compared to the rest. Xbox 360: Direct port of the PlayStation version. Removes loading times, and also FMVs for the North American version (Japanese version strangely retained the FMVs). PSP: Included in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. It has a few very minor porting issues but is content-wise the definitive version, based on the latest PS1 Japanese version. The script for the English version was rewritten and a Multi-5 translation was made, to the dismay of some fans most interested in the memetic original voice acting. 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. PS4/iOS/Android: Based on the PSP version as a standalone game. Maria's gameplay was tweaked further. While made without IGA's involvement, some consider it even better than the PSP version.
Dino Crisis	PC DC	PS1: Original. PC: Many Problems on modern systems, using Dino Crisis Classic REbirth makes it the definitive version. DC: Enhanced port with better graphics.
Dino Crisis 2	PC	PC: Similar deal as the first game, if not worse due to stability issues on modern Windows systems and poorly compressed audio. Classic REbirth makes it the definitive version.

MediEvil	PSP	PSP: Titled "MediEvil: Resurrection" has extra content not avilable in any other version. PS4: Titled "MediEvil Remake" and has the best graphics.
Mega Man 8	Sega Saturn GC/PS2 PS4/Xbox One/Switch/PC	Saturn: Original release. Initially intended as the only version because of corporate politics and SCEA's anti-2D stance, though it ended up releasing on PS1 as well. Saturn version has exclusive content not included in the PS1 version, or any future versions (as those were based on the PS1 port) such as: a Bonus Mode (artwork gallery of official art and fan submissions, sound test, watchable FMVs), more music tracks, additional bosses (Cut Man, Wood Man).

It reuses Mega Man 7's game engine, Mega Man 8's graphics, and includes completely new levels.
Mega Man Legends	PC N64 PSP	PC: Music doesn't loop. Cutscenes don't sync up with audio properly. Requires a mapping program to play comfortably with an XInput controller.

Metal Gear Solid	PC GC Rmk	PS1: Original. A later Japanese version re-release called Integral included the US version changes and then some more content. Some of this content was sold separately as "VR Missions". PC: Port of the Integral version, with some altered content (Psycho Mantis boss, TGS/E3 bonus videos removed, worse music). 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. Many issues were fixed in the GOG.com release and additional fixes with this mod. 'PC Master Collection E': Offers both og and integral version, changes some gameplay parts like Psycho Mantis. Use this mod if you want to play this version. GC Rmk: Remake titled Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Updated translation at the behest of Hideo Kojima. Uses the MGS2 engine, but not properly balanced to accommodate for the engine change. Lacks the VR Missions. The most divisive change is in the game's tone, which is a complete face-heel turn and has much less realism than the original game.
Moon Remix RPG Adventure	Switch/PC	Switch/PC: Official translation.
PaRappa the Rapper	PSP	PSP:Adds widescreen support, ad-hoc multiplayer, and song remixes as DLC. Might suffer from slight input lag, which can be fatal for those who played the original release.
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment	PSP	Part two of Persona 2. Also known as Persona 2: Batsu. PS1: Available in Japanese and English. Retains save compatibility with Innocent Sin to unlock content, in all versions. PSP: Available only in Japanese. Fan translation project in development hell. Enhanced port: widescreen support, a revamped UI, updated cutscenes, an optional updated OST, and selectable difficulty levels.
Persona 2: Innocent Sin	PSP	Part one of Persona 2. Also known as Persona 2: Tsumi. PS1: Available only in Japanese. A fan translation is available. PSP: Available in Japanese and English. Enhanced port: widescreen support, a revamped UI, updated cutscenes, an optional updated OST, and selectable difficulty levels. Criticized for some mild censorship and losing its tone compared to the original.
Rayman	Jaguar PC Sega Saturn N64	Too many changes to list here. The first Rayman game actually isn't very balanced (Michel Ancel has gone on record saying they never playtested it). The definitive version is actually a fan remake called Rayman Redemption.
Resident Evil	Saturn PC DS GC	PS1: Original. Japanese version included auto-aiming and uncut graphics. Got two English re-releases. 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: Worse performance. Includes an extra game mode. PC: Has compatibility issues with modern OSes. The only English version of the original game that includes all uncensored FMVs. Using Resident Evil Classic REbirth on the Japanese Mediakite release makes it the definitive version. DS: Enhanced port with a Classic mode that is faithful to the original PlayStation experience and a Rebirth mode that uses the touch screen in interesting ways. GC: As Resident Evil HD. Full remake. Same on the Wii. Redone in HD for its most recent PC release, as well as on most modern HD consoles. The PC version plays at 60 FPS and lacks minor stability issues that the other HD versions have.
Resident Evil 2	N64 Dreamcast PC	PS1: Later re-released on the system with DualShock support and a new game mode. N64: Compressed assets, varies between 240p and 480i. New features. Dreamcast: 480p. Even more features. PC: 1999 PC version has poor compatibility with modern OSes. Has a Japan-only release in 2006 that is somewhat more playable on modern OSes, has the highest quality FMVs, and combines Leon and Claire's games into one similarly to the N64 version. Using Resident Evil 2 Classic REbirth makes it the definitive version while translating the game into English. A HD remake was released for PC, PS4 and Xbox. Includes some content inspired from the prototype version Resident Evil 1.5 but then cuts some more. Positive reception.
Resident Evil 3	Dreamcast/GC PC	Dreamcast/GC: 480p, more features. PC: 2000 PC version has improved pre-rendered backgrounds and the ability to skip door transitions, but has worse FMVs, a bizarre (but easily fixable) rendering issue on modern hardware, wobbly 3D models, and compatibility on modern OSes. Has a Japan-only re-release in 2006 that is somewhat more playable on modern OSes and has the highest quality FMVs, but carries many of the same problems as the original 2000 release. Using Resident Evil 3 Classic REbirth on the Japanese Sourcenext release makes it the definitive version. A HD remake was released for PC, PS4 and Xbox.
Revelations: Persona	PC PSP	PS1: Original English script includes Americanized names and a removed Snow Queen quest, but isn't that far from the original. PC: Released only in Japan. Very far from a technical achievement. PSP: 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.
Soviet Strike	Sega Saturn	Supports analog control when using a 3D Control Pad or Mission Stick. Jinking is also analog, only when using a 3D Control Pad.
Spyro the Dragon Trilogy	PS4/Xbox One/PC/Switch	PS4/Xbox One/PC/Switch: HD Remakes.
Suikoden	Sega Saturn PC PSP	PS1: Original. Save compatibility with Suikoden 2. Saturn: Japan-only.

Adds widescreen support (although maps and scenes are not redone to accommodate for the larger screen area) and fixes a couple of glitches. Adds a couple of more, as well. Released only in Japan.
Suikoden II	PC PSP	PS1: Original. NTSC-U has some glitched lines fixed in the PAL version or via romhacks. Save compatibility with Suikoden 1. PC: Taiwan-only. Compatibility issues with modern PCs.

Jak 3	PS3 Vita PS4/5	PS3: Sub-HD, cropped widescreen, Many in-game explosions retain the white screen effect for a prolonged amount of time.

Compatible on modern operating system. Limited North American release although some retail Asian versions are available in 2-disc multi-lingual versions (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, and Korean).

Odin Sphere	Vita PS3	The original game: re-released digitally through PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: an HD remaster (the original game with updated graphics) and remake (updated mechanics and new content) for PS3, PS4, and Vita.
Okami	PC Wii PS3/4 Switch Xbox One	Original PS2 version's ending song ("Reset" by Ayaka Hirahara) is missing from all other versions. All versions are locked to 30fps, but there is a 60fps hack for the PS2 version.
Onimusha: Warlords	PC Xbox PS4	Xbox: Entitled Genma Onimusha. This version contains many updates to the game, including improved graphics, new 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, new explorable areas, a new boss, new costumes and armour, changes to enemy placement, and a three-stage charge attack for each weapon.

But retains the original SD backgrounds, and doesn't include any update from the Xbox version.
Phantom Brave	PC Wii PSP	Wii: Enhanced port with updated graphics and new content (extra story chapter, new characters, and new items). Loading times are nearly non-existent. PSP: Based on the Wii version with extra recruitable characters.

Persona 4	PC PS3 PSP	PS3: As "PS2 Classic", emulated. Vita/PC: Enhanced port with extra content. Some voices have changed in the English dub.
Ratchet & Clank	PS3 Vita	PS3/Vita: cropped widescreen, In-level movies and infobot cutscenes can be skipped. Some weapon and Gadgetron vendor graphics are vertically compressed. Big Al's character model has numerous visible holes, most notably in his tongue and shirt. The memory card that was used to save and load icons in the menu was replaced by a brain with eyes in a container. The Shady Salesman's character model is missing its eyes. The exploit to explore the Blackwater City hoverboard tracks on foot for the infinite bolt glitch is fixed, per the Platinum re-release of Ratchet & Clank. However, it is still possible to access them by using a Decoy Glove to force yourself of bounds. Most sound-emitting gadgets (such as the Metal Detector) have a different sound when used compared to the original PS2 release. In the bargain snagglebeast fight on Umbris, when the beast triggers its shield, it will be green. On Quartu, after Ratchet finds out Drek is going to destroy his home, the lighting in the cutscene is darker than usual. The music that plays while fighting Chairman Drek on Veldin (which was left out of the North American PlayStation 2 release due to a bug, but restored in the PAL release) is normally missing. After beating the game, when the HelpDesk Girl appears at the end, no dialogue from her plays.
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando	PS3 Vita	PS3/Vita: cropped widescreen, In the options menu (either main menu or in-game) a new option called subtitles appears, but can never be toggled in the PlayStation 3 version. Subtitles can still be activated from the settings on the main menu screen in the PS Vita version. In the initial screen, Ratchet only plays one demo instead of multiple ones; at the end of any demo, the game goes to the main menu. When arriving at any destination, the cutscene where Ratchet & Clank exit the ship is sometimes missing. In cutscenes, the camera is more zoomed out compared to the original PS2 release. This is notable on Tabora, where after Ratchet throws his OmniWrench off-frame in the original, it is still visible in the remaster. Abercrombie Fizzwidget's glasses are now dark instead of clear, much like Tuxedo Ratchet's glasses which changed in the same way between Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal. The Maktar Resort's central structure no longer rotates. The slot machines on Maktar Resort have a missing texture bug where the entire piece surrounding the slot display is pure white instead of metallic. Water graphics that consist of two 2D films with the one used as light reflection effect (on Tabora lakes, Dobbo acid, and Grelbin water in the factory) in the original version now consist of only the one film used as the reflection effect. The Abercrombie Fizzwidget robot on Todano no longer speaks while giving the tour. This greatly increases the ease at earning the "You're My Hero" skill point.
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal	PS3 Vita	PS3/Vita: Cropped widescreen, Extra skins are purchasable in Up Your Arsenal, such as the Ninja and Sumo Ratchet skins. the Santa Ratchet skin and Pipo-Saru Ratchet skin (These two skins were previously exclusive to the Japanese version)can be accessible by cheats. Any of the skins above cannot be obtained in the PS Vita version, and in addition, the Constructobot skin won't unlock after collecting all the trophies. The Holoshield Glove's V1 version (and not the others) shoots out rotating rectangles, rather than the expected oval with the proper textures. Some of the display elements in Up Your Arsenal are a slightly different hue from the orange-brown color in the PlayStation 2 version. With the exception of the Miniturret Glove, the reticle for certain launcher/glove weapons is different. The Nitro Launcher and Bouncer, for example, used a reticle with a series of segmented, spinning rings, but now have the cog-like reticle from the Glove of Doom. Some particle effects are missing, such as some bloom particles and loading screen effects on Aquatos. The sound effects for when the ship is flying from planet to planet plays in a different order. Exiting the Quick Select option in the Pause menu will exit the whole pause menu. When using the Tyhrra-Guise to interact with tyhrranoids, there is no variation in the key tone regardless of which button is pressed during the rhythm game. In the Vita version, the unnamed Qwark vid-comic has extremely bad graphical issues. In offline or online multiplayer matches, there is no longer music while waiting before the start. In addition, multiplayer was taken out altogether in the PS Vita version A secret debug menu in the game which unlocks weapons, gadgets, missions, and planets can be accessed.
Ratchet: Deadlocked	PS3	Though there are no new textures or model refinements and graphics match the native texture resolution on PlayStation 2. Players have noted a few issues with the cinematics, with some full-motion video cinematics being improperly rescaled, in-game cinematics sometimes suffering camera and graphical glitches, and the inability to turn on subtitles. There are also some framerate and technical glitches reported in the gameplay. The port features PlayStation Network multiplayer functionality, though the four-player local play is no longer supported and is limited to two-player local play, and eight-player multiplayer is limited to six.
Red Faction	PC	PC version lacks some visual effects that are only on PS2. But PS2 version lacks Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch multiplayer modes and online multiplayer capability - all of which is only on PC.
Shadow of the Colossus	PS3 PS4 Rmk	PS3: Stable frame-rate (30 FPS locked). runs in 720p or at an odd resolution (960x1080) if 1080i/p video is enabled on the PS3 so it may look a little off unless you disable those video modes. Based on the PAL release but is missing some minor bonus content from that version. Due to some questionable changes on the climbing physics, several of the time attack fights are imbalanced in this version with at least one of them practically requiring an exploit to complete its challenge time on hard mode. Supports stereoscopic 3D but the frame-rate tanks even lower than it does on the PS2 version with it enabled. PS4: Remake.
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne	Switch PS4	PS2: Original. "Hardtype" Hack for an increased challenge. Switch/PS4: Redone character models. Better Visual effects. Has the ability to choose which skills to transfer to demons. New easy mode, A blur will appear on the sides of the screen every time there is FMV, in order to fill the screen. Audio is also still compressed.
Silent Hill 2	PC Xbox PS3 Xbox 360 PS5 Rmk PC Rmk	Windows: Port based on the Xbox version. Buggy, but the Enhanced Edition mod fixes all of the issues and adds a 16:9 aspect-ratio, 60 FPS, higher quality FMVs, and more, making it the definitive version. Xbox: Has the same lighting as the PC version but with the PS2-style soft shadows left intact, fog issues (albeit less noticeable due to the lower resolution), poor audio, and the same relatively low-quality FMVs by default. Can run at 480p. Windows, Xbox, and PS2 "Directors Cut (EU)/Greatest Hits (US)" versions contain bonus material. PS3/360: HD version based on unfinished code, resulting in an uncountable number of bugs and graphical/audio mistakes. Let you choose between the original voicework of the game or a new redub done by a different cast made for this version... though results may vary. Stay far away. PS5/PC: Full remake of the game. There's graphic stuttering on the PC version, which can be fixed with multiple mods. Might feature censored content due to the developers (not the publisher) using a narrative consultant studio in order to adapt it to "modern audiences". Still a better option than the PS3 and X360 versions.
Silent Hill 3	PC PS3 Xbox 360	PS3/360: HD version based on unfinished code, and completely removed the original voice acting in favor of a new (subjectively worse) redub by a new cast. Same issues as Silent Hill 2 HD, but even worse. Again; stay far away. Windows: The PC version adds improved flashlight lighting, the ability to save at any time during the game, and 60 FPS gameplay. however, there are some points where the game will drop to 30. If you are running in HD, the DoF effects are rendered in native resolution, making them look pixelated. Fortunately, fan patches available on this page.
Silent Hill 4: The Room	PC Xbox	Windows: Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS in the retail and digital releases, while cutscenes are at 15 FPS in the physical release, but can be changed to 30fps using mods. Some of the "hauntings" from the console version are missing. GOG version is a port of the inferior European PC-version but has compatibility fixes applied. Xbox: Just as good as the PS2 version, but with 480p support.
Siren	PS3 Rmk	PS3: Titled "Siren: Blood Curse", it is a remake of the original ps2 version. The American release of Blood Curse contains a slightly edited introductory scene, where a ceremonial stabbing is obscured by excessive camera shakiness. The European release of Blood Curse includes an exclusive making-of documentary titled Behind the Curtain of Terror, which is accessed via the PlayStation 3's XMB Video menu.
Sly Cooper	PS3 Vita	PS3/ Vita: The player can now invert the game's camera controls. Developer commentaries in the physical version of the game have been removed. They were added back in for the digital release. There is a drastic increase in the distance between Sly and an enemy required to trigger the sneaking sound of Sly's feet and the sneaky music. It has been increased to the point where Sly will make the sneaking sound almost all the time unless all nearby enemies are defeated. This effect is amplified vertically. Almost all background music has been remixed. Some background music is impacted by de-synchronizations, most notably during "A Deadly Dance." The original background music for "Treasure in the Depths" was replaced by the music from "Burning Rubber," and the music from "A Ghastly Voyage" was put into "A Grave Undertaking." Some of the sneaky music was replaced by its non-sneaky counterpart. "Back Alley Heist" is one example. Some voice acting is also impacted by de-synchronizations, especially Carmelita in both "Police Headquarters" and "Duel by the Dragon." In main hub of "Vicious Voodoo," a small trail of coins were added to the path that leads to the "Piranha Lake" mission. At the end of "Duel by the Dragon," if the player hits the fireworks clockwise, a glitch occurs where Carmelita does not speak, but the dragon head still falls, followed by the player not being able to move. The player must hit the fireworks counter-clockwise to avoid this. For the PlayStation Vita release, Matt Olsen had to re-voice the camera control tutorial that plays when the player approaches the entrance to "A Cunning Disguise" inside "Prowling the Grounds." Since the right analog stick cannot be clicked on the Vita, Bentley instead says, "to bring the camera behind you, tap the rear touch pad." The l1 prompt that is in front of the Bentley icon that allows the player to revisit any binocucom conversations, tips from Bentley, or PA messages from the Fiendish Five members is removed in the PS Vita version, as that function has now been assigned to the touch screen. Some of the glitches (mostly speed-running ones) were fixed. The music for "Muggshot's Turf" has been sped up. When entering the "At the Dog Track" mission, it first plays the same music that is heard when Sly confronts Muggshot in the boss mission. It then plays the original music once the race begins. In the PS3 version of the game, the music that plays during the prologue has been changed. The alternate music that plays once Sly sneaks past the water tower is no longer triggered; the original starting music is heard throughout the entire job. The Japanese version has every dialogue re-recorded from the ground up, which the voice actors for Sly, Bentley, Murray, Carmelita and the Panda King are taking over. However, some Japanese voice actors were changed for others.
Sly 2	PS3 Vita	PS3/ Vita: The player can now invert the game's camera controls. Only the bonus videos for "The Black Chateau" (Sly Cooper: The Second Season) and "Anatomy for Disaster" (the credits) are available to watch from the level select screen. The cutscene that plays after defeating Dimitri doesn't show the team playing cards in Monaco. Instead, the Cooper Van drives in place while Sly's audio continues, though he doesn't mention Monaco anymore. This was probably changed, because the games had to be ESRB rated again and it was most likely requested to remove this scene to lower the rating. A different sound is heard when selecting the second through eighth episodes and the movie option from the Episode Select Screen. This doesn't apply to Episode 1 for some reason. The level reset glitch in "Menace from the North, eh!" was fixed. The first few seconds of each level's soundtracks are cut off each time they are played the first go-around. This includes all soundtracks except the intro level, as well as alternative soundtracks for boss battles or other missions. The player can no longer use the USB Headset feature to distract the guards. For the PS Vita version, Kevin Miller and Matt Olsen had to re-voice the waypoint & binocucom controls to "tap the rear touch pad to bring up the waypoint" and "tap the touch screen to bring up the binocucom." This is also the reason the amount of buttons used for the power-ups has lowered for the PS Vita version, so the player can use only the L button for one power-up at a time. In the digital version of the game, at the start of the dialogue, it is quiet, gets louder, and then the volume decreases again at the end of a line. Sly's portrait in the Gadget Grid is different. It uses the same portrait as the one in Sly 3. When recon photos are taken, they take up the entire screen instead of zooming out. The Sly logo that appears while the game is loading is missing. The Sony Computer Entertainment presents screen uses a different font. The in-game dialogue is slightly delayed on the physical PS3 version of the game. This problem does not occur in the digital or PS Vita versions. The background music will also occasionally loop when the character dialogue delay occurs. Some of the menus and screen effects do not fill up the entire screen. This doesn't happen when playing the game in the original 4:3 display mode (such as with an older TV). Most of the UI is fixed in the physical northern European version. Some menu sound effects are quite different, mainly the ones which play when, for example, manually saving the game. The "transition" sound effect that plays when entering or exiting a level is also slightly different. During "Operation: Thunder Beak," when Bentley enters the water tower in the original PS2 version of the game, there is a transition where the image smoothly flips upside down before Bentley appears in the tower. However, in this remaster, the transition doesn't work as intended, flipping the entire image in a single frame before cutting to the interior of the water tower. The Japanese version has every dialogue re-recorded from the ground up, which the voice actors for Sly, Bentley, Murray, Carmelita and the Panda King are taking over. However, some Japanese voice actors were changed for others.
Sly 3	PS3 Vita	PS3/ Vita: The few missions that supported 3-D no longer ask the player if they want to enable 3-D because the entire collection on PS3 is 3-D compatible (but despite this, the cutscenes that play before that menu popped up are still there). The Vita does not support either version of 3-D. The music glitch in the "Hungry Croc" mission was fixed. In the original, the music never played. Though some of the PS2 versions (most likely the PAL versions) had the music played correctly. In the multiplayer game "Biplane Duel," the green-orange targeting beacon doesn't appear to be locked on to the person when using special items. However, it is only a visual glitch.When starting the game, there is a chance a random bug will happen where the music will begin looping five seconds of the audio, and the cutscene dialogue will take several minutes to load the dialogue, with characters freezing mid-speech and looping until the game catches up. A way to fix this is simply powering the system off and restarting the system, but there have been reports of people being unable to fix the problem without deleting their data, and some who have been unable to fix it at all, indicating that it is potentially an error on the disk itself. During the "Beauty and the Beast" mission, the music for the fight between Carmelita and Mugshot doesn't play. Additionally, after the mission is over, the rest of the game won't play any music unless the player restarts the game, dies, or use Bentley's Grapple-Cam. European Sly fans can finally watch The Evolution of Sly video without having to look it up on the internet, as every bonus video is now accessible. When Sly first meets Dimitri in "Police HQ," players can clearly see him even when his back is turned. This is because the HD port has a different rendering, which causes the lightning to be much more clear. Characters count much faster when opening a double button security door. For the PS Vita version, Kevin Miller and Matt Olsen had to re-voice the waypoint & binocucom controls, as you have to tap the rear touch pad to bring up the waypoint and tap the touch screen to bring up the binocucom. This is also the reason the number of buttons used for the power-ups has lowered for the PS Vita version, so the player can only the L button for one power-up at a time. In the PS Vita version, you can use the motion sensors of the PS Vita system to steer the galleon in "Dead Men Tell No Tales," though it is never mentioned in-game. As in Sly 2: recon photos now take up the entire screen. the Sly logo that appears while the game is loading is missing.the Sony Computer Entertainment presents screen uses a different font. the in-game dialogue is slightly delayed on the physical PS3 version of the game. This problem does not occur in the digital or PS Vita versions. The background music will also occasionally loop when the character dialogue delay occurs. As in Sly 2, some of the menus and screen effects (particularly The Guru's hypnosis) don't fill up the entire screen. Also, it is mostly fixed in the physical northern European version. Murray's bounce height was drastically decreased. This is only seen in the PSVita release, but In the "Dark Caves" mission, when exploring the second cave, the lighting is different. The Vita version does not support any of the two-player minigames. The entire game is not available on the physical release of the PS Vita version and is instead only available via digital download.

Xbox 360

Many early seventh-generation titles especially Xbox 360 ones exhibited excessive bloom compared to their ports on other platforms.

Game	Platforms	Notes
Bayonetta	PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Windows Xbox One Wii U Switch	PS3: Horrendously bad framerate, struggling to maintain a consistent 30 FPS, compared to the 360 version, which runs at a solid 60 FPS. Worse textures and effects compared to 360. PS4/Xbox One/PC: Decent ports. Switch/Wii U: Has exclusive costumes.
Bullet Witch	Windows	PC: Is based on the Japanese Xbox 360 version with all of its free DLCs bundled (the extra missions are unlocked by beating the game) as opposed to its localized version which made the guns weaker to encourage using magic and put extra mission DLCs that were originally available for free behind a paywall. Improved resolutions and FPS, minor texture improvements to the player's character, and reinstates a previously debug-only dashing mechanic, but the colors appear to be washed out compared to the Xbox 360 version.
Dead Rising	Wii	Titled "Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop". Motion control, Frank now operates from out of the mall's security room and that he advances the main plot of the game by completing missions given to him by Otis, Brad, and Jessie; others see him rescuing the various survivors of the outbreak. New Zombies. New mini-games. Costume blood color, but Frank can't jump and some areas are now smaller.
Deadly Premonition	PlayStation 3 Windows Nintendo Switch	Xbox 360: Most stable version, but has tank controls, behind the shoulder camera, locked at 30 FPS, and a muddy red/green color filter over everything. PS3: Extra non-canon scenes, vastly superior camera and controls, better colors, no muddy filter, many improved textures, some improved models, runs at about 20 FPS (Locked 60 FPS when using emulation). PC: Has the improvements of the PS3 version, heavy crashing issue (GOG version is better but still suffers from it), missing voice acting in mission 20. A mod called DPfix (cannot be played on Windows 7 or lower) can increase the resolution, and lock the frame rate at 60 FPS, fix bugs not mentioned here and improve the visuals. Switch: Has the improvements of the PS3 version but doesn't have the no non-Canon cutscenes, Some additional FX, minor crashing issue (still better than PC version). Runs at 40–20 FPS (Locked 60 FPS when using emulation).
Eternal Sonata	Playstation 3	PS3: Additional cutscenes, with some of the existing ones getting expanded or partially rewritten, new ending sequence, two NPCs from the Xbox 360 version promoted to playable status, alternate costumes for Polka, Allegretto and Beat, two new dungeons (one optional), revamped difficulty (less EXP distribution, enemies are tougher and deal more damage). No trophies available despite the Xbox 360 versions having achievements.
Halo 3 Halo 4	Windows Xbox One	Xbox One/PC: HD Remaster with new features such as Profanity filter, Tech suits in Halo 3, and Halo 4 Squad Battle changes.
NCAA March Madness 07	PlayStation 2	Xbox 360 version is graphically superior to PlayStation 2 version.
Ninja Gaiden II	Windows Xbox One PlayStation 4 PlayStation 3 Nintendo Switch	PS3/Xbox One/PC/Switch/PS4: Titled "Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2". This version lessened the enemy count drastically while making the enemies much more difficult to use the "delimbing" mechanic. Almost all the gore has been removed. The throw damage was increased. Projectile spam has been greatly reduced from NG2. Costume recolors (Legendary Black Falcon to Type 20; same shape, different texture) were removed. Some ranged weapons have been removed.

A mod for PC called "NGS2 Black" for difficulty increase.
Ninja Gaiden III	Windows Xbox One PlayStation 4 PlayStation 3 Nintendo Switch	PS3/Xbox One/PC/Switch/PS4: Titled "Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge". More blood and gore. More enemy variations.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007	PlayStation Portable PlayStation 2	PS2: runs significantly lower graphical fidelity compared to newer generation Xbox 360 version. PSP: placeholder text, previous game has exclusive features for PSP. See #Multi-generation console exclusives for other WWE SmackDown vs Raw! games.

Xbox One

During its early years, the Xbox One had few games that were launched first on its system. Following polices made by Microsoft between 2015 and 2016, all Xbox One (and by consequence, Xbox Series X/S) titles must be released on the same day with another platform, whenever it is the PlayStation 4, PC, Wii U, Nintendo Switch or smartphones; which turns all other Xbox games being multiplatform releases.

A fan project aims to improve the game and is available for 360 and Switch.
Grand Theft Auto IV	PlayStation 3 Xbox One E Xbox 360 Windows	PS3: runs at a significantly lower resolution than the Xbox 360 version.

Game & Watch

Due to the Game & Watch line being popular among people in Japan, Nintendo did remake these LCD minigames in many forms, mainly as Game Boy games.

This list does not include remakes made as microgames in WarioWare franchise, as they do not offer the same experience from the original (speed-up, out-of-context obstacles, etc.)

Game	Platforms	Notes
Ace Attorney 1 Ace Attorney 2 Ace Attorney 3	Windows PlayStation 4 Xbox One DS 3DS Wii Switch Android iOS	DS: First versions of the original trilogy to be released for the west. The port of the first game adds a bonus episode designed partly to be a technical showpiece of the DS hardware; this bonus episode is now canon and has re-appeared in both subsequent ports of the trilogy. Playable in Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Trilogy HD (Wii/3DS/iOS/Android): Not to be confused with the later and much-improved Trilogy remake, which also released on 3DS and mobile. While Trilogy HD does have nicer graphics than the DS ports, it performs noticeably worse, and the animation is horribly over-simplified. Playable in Japanese and English only, except for the Android version which is only in Japanese. Trilogy (3DS/PC/Switch/PS4/XBO/iOS/Android): Easily the definitive version of the trilogy, with the best graphics, the best audio and the best controls. The initial 3DS version, released in 2014 as an eShop exclusive, was later reworked to optimize the experience for single-screen gameplay only, and this version released on PC and home consoles in 2019 and on mobile in 2022. The scripts may be different from previous ports. Playable in Japanese, English, French, German, Korean and Mandarin; a 2025 update also added Spanish and Portuguese.
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga	3DS	A lot of changes were made in order to make the game easier.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong	Nintendo Switch Rmk	Enhanced graphics and features a Casual mode which removes time limit, adds checkpoints and a health system, and two new worlds (Merry Mini-Land and Slippery Summit).
Mega Man Zero 1 Mega Man Zero 2 Mega Man Zero 3 Mega Man Zero 4	Windows PlayStation 4 Xbox One Nintendo DS Nintendo Switch	GBA: Uncensored hacks are available for western releases. DS: Part of the Mega Man Zero Collection. Better audio. The multiplayer mini-games from Mega Man Zero 2 were removed. Some dialogue containing words like "death", "kill" and "die" were changed to make the games more kids-friendly, but spelling errors in the GBA release were fixed. A new Easy Scenario Mode. Picture gallery with 80 unlockable images. Button mapping to the X and Y face buttons. Switch/PC/PS4/Xbox One: Part of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Based on the DS Mega Man Zero Collection. Comes with multiple screen layouts and scaling for the Zero and ZX games, Japanese and international versions of each game, an optional Save Assist (i.e. checkpoint) system, artwork gallery, and music gallery. 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.

Game	Platforms	Notes
Azure Striker Gunvolt	Windows Switch PlayStation 4 Xbox One PlayStation 5	Windows: Used to feel like an emulated version put on PC as it sometimes plays using a dual-screen setup. 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 patch was later released for the PC version on May 2018 that removed dual-screen setup and added 60 FPS support, but is still lacking the HD artworks, controller rumble, and new songs introduced in the later console versions. Keyboard controls are also lack as some keys cannot be remapped and is limited to only 1080p resolution. NSW/PS4/Xbox One: A new port of the Striker Pack for the Switch and later PS4 which runs at 60 FPS, features HD event graphics and portraits, balance tweaks, and incorporates its sequel's difficulty system. A port was released for Xbox One with all of the same enhancements as the Switch and PS4 versions. NSW/PS5/Windows: Released as part of the Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced compilation. Based on the console versions but the game has been updated to use the Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 engine and can be played up to 120 FPS (currently exclusive to PlayStation 5; only Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 can play at 120 FPS on PC), restores some cut beta SP Skills, backports a few more quality-of-life features from its sequel, and the other localizations have been updated to use the Japanese script, but is missing the Speedrun Mode from the previous ports.
Azure Striker Gunvolt 2	Windows Switch PlayStation 4 Xbox One PlayStation 5	Windows: Unlike Azure Striker Gunvolt, this port was based on the console versions rather than 3DS version, but it is missing Shovel Knight amiibo-exclusive boss battle (and items earned from it), and the final boss's attack uses an alternate desperation attack if a microphone is not connected. All DLCs from the 3DS version are built-in. NSW/PS4/Xbox One: As deal as Azure Striker Gunvolt. NSW/PS5/Windows: Released as part of the Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced compilation. Similar deal as Azure Striker Gunvolt in this collection, but is missing the Shovel Knight amiibo-exclusive content again outside of the Switch version.

Code of Princess	Nintendo Switch Rmk PC Rmk	PC: Barebones PC port that feels like an emulated release.

Runs at 60 FPS, higher resolution graphics, 16:9 widescreen presentation, menus and HUD have been redesigned for a single screen, streamlined and rebalanced gameplay, enemy AI adjustments, and features co-op support for the Campaign Mode with extra playable characters. English dub was replaced with the original Japanese audio track due to the voices belonging to Atlus. The PC version suffers from background music not looping. A mod is available to restore the English dub from the 3DS version, and it is also compatible with the original PC port of Code of Princess.

Game	Platforms	Notes
Persona 4 Golden	Windows	The exclusive enhanced port of a popular PS2 game, which many considered to be the reason to own a Vita, is now available on PC. It may be worth getting if you're computer can't handle running a PS2 emulator (if you wanted to play the original instead) and especially considering the current state of Vita emulation. The official Steam version comes with the controversial Denuvo Anti-tamper, but there is a cracked version that doesn't use Denuvo floating around. One problem some users have been noticing is the cutscenes are laggy even on higher-end machines (this is apparently due to the way the video files were encoded).
Tearaway	PlayStation 4 Rmk	Remake, titled "Tearaway - Unfolded". Many gameplay sections have, of course, been overhauled to work with a DualShock 4 instead of a Vita.

Mobile

Pre-iOS / Android

In Japan, several games were lucky enough to be ported to consoles and PC. Between 2014 and 2015, Hamster Corporation, known for the Arcade Archives initiative, made Appli Archives for PlayStation Vita until Sony shutdown PlayStation Mobile as a whole; G-Mode, the owner of most Data East games, ports mobile games for the Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) and Android TV devices under the G-Mode Archives series by running them on Unity.

iOS / Android

Most ports of games originated on smartphones are enhanced versions of freemium games. Some may have additional out-of-scope elements to play, such as the creation / linkage of a proprietary account related to the game rather than using data from an Apple / Google Account. In most cases, using native PC versions over emulated Android versions through Google Play Games (Windows 10/11) is recommended.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby	PC	The PC (Windows) version of the client for Japan (DMM Games/Steam) enabled native 60FPS support in February 18, 2026.

Original vs. Remastered

It's important to note that while remasters may involve significant technical work to optimize the game for new platforms and enhance visual fidelity, they often not reach the level of a full remake. In some cases, remasters may even fall short of the quality of the original versions. This section highlights the differences between the original version and its remasters.

Doom³	Doom 3: BFG Edition	Windows Xbox	Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 PlayStation 4 (Pro) Xbox One (X/S) Nintendo Switch	Doom 3: BFG Edition - Differences with Doom 3. Initially this remaster featured support for 120Hz refresh rates on PC, but a later update in 2023 introduced support for up to 240Hz. Comes with embedded ports of Doom and Doom II based off the Xbox 360 version. This remaster later served as the basis for the 2019 re-release handled Panic Button, simply titled DOOM 3, for 8th generation consoles and PC, but it is lacking the embedded versions of Doom and Doom II (as they have became standalone with the 2019 Unity ports and later as part of the 2024 KEX Engine compilation), multiplayer was removed, and on PC the developer console is permanently disabled.

Lollipop Chainsaw	Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	Nintendo Switch PlayStation 5 (Pro) Windows Xbox Series X/S PlayStation 4 (Pro) Xbox One (X/S)	Original mode is still "remastered", RePOP mode is more akin to a remake and made to tone down the violence and such. Original mode is almost an exact remaster, we say almost because there are subtle changes to gameplay and such that carry through to the other mode. But original mode is still remastered, it's just not the "sparkle and glitter" remake. Original is the original version brought up to the modern day with newer engines, higher resolution, gameplay updates, etc. Anime cosplay costumes and most of the licensed music were removed. [27]

NCAA Football 07	Xbox 360	The Xbox 360 version of the game was thought by many to be incomplete as it lacked features of the console versions such as Campus Legend mode and Spring Drills. However, the game featured several mini-games of its own such as bowling, where the player is put at the 20-yard line of the opponent's end zone and a touchdown is considered a strike and if a touchdown scored on a second-down play is a spare, as in bowling. Graphics in the game were well-done and showed great representation.[29]

Tony Hawk's Project 8	PlayStation 3 Xbox 360	The 6th-generation versions of the game (PlayStation 2, Xbox) as well as the PlayStation Portable version utilize the engine of the previous installment, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and the games that proceeded it. The 7th-generation versions (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) feature a completely new game engine and gameplay to accommodate the more advanced hardware (while also released on the Xbox 360, American Wasteland remained largely the same on that console). For the 7th-generation versions, Project 8 features an open world, which contains various skate parks and hidden sections. The open world is linear and visibly connected, in contrast to the loading tunnels in American Wasteland. In the 6th-generation version, the levels are separate and have to be manually selected. There are 45 skaters in the game, including unlockable characters, who each have a unique mo-cap style, providing a different experience and no recycled animations.[30]

Impossible ports

The technical feats of porting demanding games showcased the ingenuity and dedication of developers working with underpowered hardware. While modern gaming often takes for granted the power of technology, early ports like Quake II on PlayStation 1 or Half-Life 2 on the original Xbox demonstrated the remarkable ability of developers to squeeze impressive experiences out of limited hardware. There are various impossible unofficial ports too such as Tomb Raider 1 on GBA.

Demakes

For Game engine recreations and source ports, see Game engine recreations and source ports.

For re-imagining of the visuals to replicate the aesthetics of early system limitations with mods, see Mods, hacks and fan-translations#Sprite/model swaps.A demake is a video game created using older or less powerful hardware or software, often mimicking the style and gameplay of a more recent game. It's essentially a reverse port, taking a modern game and adapting it to a retro aesthetic. Demakes are often created as fan projects, allowing enthusiasts to explore the limitations and creative potential of older hardware. They can be a fun way to pay homage to classic games or to experiment with different game development techniques. Unlike ports, demakes are not simple transfers of a game to a different platform. They involve a significant creative process of redesigning and reimagining the game to fit the limitations of older hardware.

Clones

A video game clone refers to a video game or console that exhibits significant similarity to or draws heavy inspiration from a previously successful title or hardware. While modern discussions often highlight contemporary examples, the phenomenon of cloning has a long history, extending back to the early arcade era with numerous takes on Pong, and the subsequent home console market. Hardware cloning was also prevalent, with various manufacturers producing consoles similar to or directly compatible with popular systems.

Legal consensus holds that fundamental game ideas, core mechanics, and common tropes are not subject to copyright protection; only the unique expression of these elements can be copyrighted. This distinction allows for the creation of games that borrow concepts but present them with distinct art styles, narratives, and audio. However, the substantial expense associated with litigation, coupled with the fact-specific nature of each potential dispute, creates uncertainty for developers seeking to protect the overall 'look and feel' of their games from being cloned. Beyond copyright, other legal mechanisms such as patents (though less common in games), trademarks (particularly for game titles and characters), and the evolving practices of industry platforms also influence the landscape of video game clones.

This section highlights games so heavily inspired by others that they are effectively clones.
