Name Windows Xbox Wii PSP Vita NDS PS3 360 Notes
Devil May Cry 1-3 ✓ ✓ Devil May Cry 3 is based on the Special Edition.
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness ✓ ✓
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories ✓
Final Fantasy X ✓ ✓ Based on international version. Redone character models. Rerecorded soundtrack that's hit-or-miss.
Final Fantasy X-2 ✓ ✓ Redone character models.
God of War, God of War II ✓ ✓ Stable framerate, screen tearing fixed. Cropped widescreen, stretched HUD.
Ico ✓
Jak and Daxter, Jak II, Jak 3 ✓ ✓ Sub-HD, cropped widescreen, a few minor graphical glitches. Vita suffers from massive slowdown, making it nigh unplayable.
Kingdom Hearts, Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II ✓ Altered character models, music. Based on the updated Final Mix versions.
Mega Man X7 ✓ PC: A direct port from the PlayStation 2 version. Lacks basic PC functionality, no video options, inferior graphics, no remapable keyboard inputs, and does not support controller despite using PlayStation 2 button prompts. May not work on modern operating systems. Released only in Korea.
Mega Man X8 ✓ PC: Features mouse-supported interface, higher resolution modes (up to 1280x1024) but no anti-aliasing options, and supports gamepads (XInput is not 100% supported). 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).
Metal Gear Solid 2 ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ HD ports based on Substance. Missing the skateboarding mini-game.
Metal Gear Solid 3 ✓ ✓ ✓ HD ports based on Subsistence, meaning that Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake are included. 60 FPS. Missing Metal Gear Online, Secret Theater, Snake vs. Monkey, and Guy Savage.
Odin Sphere ✓ ✓ 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 ✓ ✓ Altered visuals and credits in all ports.
Phantom Brave ✓ ✓ 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 the Wii version with extra recruitable characters.

Persona 3 ✓ Titled Persona 3 Portable. Option to play as female protagonist. Lets you control other party members in battle and guard, similar to Persona 4. Lacks "The Answer" from Persona 3 FES. No FMVs.
Persona 4 ✓ Enhanced port with extra content. Some voices have changed in the English dub.
Ratchet & Clank 1-3 ✓ ✓ Moderately buggy ports.
Ratchet: Deadlocked ✓ Very buggy port.
Shadow of the Colossus ✓ Stable framerate. Based on the more difficult PAL release. Several of its time attacks are imbalanced with at least one requiring an exploit to complete its challenge time. Diagonal jumping is patched, making the secret garden inaccessible.
Silent Hill 2 ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

Windows: Buggy, can mostly be fixed with patches. Has better lighting effects and worse fog.

Xbox: Probably the best version of the game. Has the same lighting as the PC version, no fog issues, and good FMVs by default. The only part that's worse than the PC is that it's 480p only.

Windows, Xbox and PS2 "Directors Cut" versions contain bonus material.

PS3/360: HD version based on unfinished code. Stay far away.

Silent Hill 3 ✓ ✓ ✓ PS3/360: HD version based on unfinished code, and includes forced new (subjectively worse) voice acting. Stay far away.

Windows: Pretty much perfect if you're running at native resolution. If you are running in HD, the DoF effects are rendered in native resolution, making them look pixelated.

Silent Hill 4: The Room ✓ ✓ Windows: An awful port with 15 fps cutscenes. Supposedly playable.

Xbox: Just as good as the PS2 version, but with 480p support.

Sly Cooper, Sly 2, Sly 3 ✓ ✓
Zone of the Enders ✓ ✓ Vita version was quietly after poor reception of the HD Collection's initial release.
Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner ✓ ✓ Vita version was quietly after poor reception of the HD Collection's initial release. The Xbox 360 version runs worse than the PS2 version. The PS3 version runs even worse than that if unpatched. Post-patch, and it's easily the definitive version of the game.
