===Multi-platform games with DLCs exclusive for consoles===
Happens that the game or comes out simultaneously on PC and consoles, or first on consoles and later on the PC. And this port is really good: version of game has been transferred from the most powerful console of its generation, the control is correctly adapted to the keyboard and mouse, there are graphics' settings, resolution changer and 60 FPS. But exist one extremely mean moment: the game lost part of its contents, since some expansions were not included in PC version.
It is usually "small" DLCs which add more: game modes, playable characters (or cars in the case of racing games), skins, weapons etc. That does not have a large negative effect on the game - since its gameplay and graphics were ported perfectly - but nevertheless annoying that the game does not receive definitive edition on the platform with: the most powerful hardware, the highest backward compatibility and capabilities of changing of graphics settings (including very important case with enhancing of render resolution) and installing of unofficial modifications. Because of all over above, the games on PC may live forever with permanent migration on new operating systems, processors and video cards, while games on consoles are becoming hard to accessible when their generation loses relevance.
And do not forget about a especially big catastrophe when the game got a terrible port with disappeared expansions.

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 graphicsalmost always uses inferior instrument samples for whatever reason (designated as "worse audio"). Also, most GBA games use much brighter colors to compensate for the lack of contrast in the original GBA display. To have these games display as intended, a shader or a palette patch is needed. Additionally, the GBA has two fewer buttons, leading to compromised control layouts.
|}Several SNES games were ported to the PlayStation. More often than not the PS1 ports offer more features. However, the CD format creates loading times. Contrary to popular belief, most of these ports are not emulated. They simply take the text and graphical assets from the SNES game ROM image on the disc, with the rest of the programming being original work.
==PlayStation==The PS1 has [[PlayStation_emulators#Emulation_issues|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.{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="text-align:leftcenter;"! scope="col" style="width: 14em;"|Name! scope="col" |PCPS1! scope="col" |SaturnGC! scope="col" |N64PS2! scope="col" |DCGBA! scope="col" |GCNDS! scope="col" |PSP! scope="col" |Notes

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 portof the American PS1 version. Removes loading times, but also 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.
|'''DC:''' Japanese Only.
'''PC:''' Available in English. Dialogue options and some plot points were cut so the "Person/king" mechanic is missing.

===Console versions of games superior to PC counterparts===
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 will cover 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.

|} ===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 console versions of certain Disney games like ''Cars 2'' and ''Toy Story 3''. In the latter case, the PC versions suffer from downgraded graphics as a consequence of having to account for lower-end systems used by most families. ==NES=={{Main|List of notable NES ports and remakes✓}} NES games sometimes suffered from slowdown, and sprite flickering. ==Sharp X68000==May be easier to emulate ports than the original versions.{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left;"! scope="col" style="width: 14em;"|Name! scope="col" |PS1! scope="col" |GCN! scope="col" |PS2! scope="col" |GBA! scope="col" |NDS! scope="col" |Notes|-

|Updated with "new" features and content which were previously missing from the original release due to developers missing on deadlines and inability to fit everything planned into the game in time (though some of this initially-missing content could be later added to the game via free DLC option done via now-defunct official website connection performed from game* 's main menu). Sound samples (music for the entire game and all other sounds alike) has been heavily compressed to fit on one mini-DVD disc, drastically diminishing the game's overall experience as Dreamcast's original release used uncompressed RedbookSwitch/PS4/CD-DA tier quality sound samples (actually one of the main reasons why Dreamcast's version had to be cut into two separate GD-ROM discsPC: the size of sound files in the original is truly huge due to it being absolutely raw samples for each and every sound in the game). Due to lack of VMU functionality an entire separate mini-game ("Pinta's Quest") was completely removed, which, considering that Pinta was a fully developed separate 3D character model in the original game, essentially means Gamecube's port completely lacks the said character (however, to somewhat balance this out Gamecube's port added several completely new characters that were never in the Dreamcast's release or planned to be in it even DLC content-wiseHD Remaster with widescreen support, such as Piastol and fake pirate trio for example). Gamecube's port also improves quite a bit on most characters', vehicles, ships'redone music, 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 option to spot a significant difference from the original Dreamcast release. Gamecube's port also fixed previously bugged "Zivilyn Bane's quest" line and this can be done fully from start to finish now (Dreamcast's original Japanese release's "Zivilyn Bane" quest can be fully completed too, but US' and EU's later localization broke some flags during development which produces bug that renders the said quest completely uncompletable, pun not intended, in any versions of this game other than the said very first original Japanese release on the Dreamcast and later Gamecube ports of it)turn off random encounters.

||These ports feature a different OST from the original release. Released in North America as ''Wipeout XL''.|} ==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 [[Nintendo 64 emulators#Virtual Console games in Dolphin|N64 Virtual Console]] releases on the Wii results in more accurate emulation, even making some unplayable games playable. {| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="text-align:left;"! scope="col" style="width: 14em;"|Name! scope="col" |Win! scope="col" |GC! scope="col" |Xbox! scope="col" |X360! scope="col" |XOne! scope="col" |NDS! scope="col" |3DS! scope="col" style="text-align: left"|Notes|-|Banjo-Kazooie||||✓|✓|||Added widescreen mode, generally better framerate and draw distance.

Has more stable framerates and slightly better graphics than original.|-|Doom 64|✓|||||||Has an 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: https://doom64ex.wordpress.com/ It was officially ported Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC 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 has broken stock shaders with DirectX 11 API, but the developer has pointed some fixes for it. See [https://doom64ex.wordpress.com/2020/03/24/differences-between-doom-64-ex-2-5-versus-the-official-remaster/ this list] for differences between EX and the official 2020 port.|-|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time||✓ (E)|||||✓|Both the original game and the Master Quest are emulated at 480p on the GameCube.

The Dreamcast version has various changes from the Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows versions, including several 2D sprites being replaced by 3D models, improved texture quality, and minor level design changes. The Dreamcast version also has exclusive mini-games, six hidden Glob Crystal collectables 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.Rayman Revolution (the PS2 version) features many enhancements including 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 and newly recorded real language voices, 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.

Sound samples (music for the entire game and all other sounds alike) has been heavily compressed to fit on one mini-DVD disc, drastically diminishing the game's overall experience as Dreamcast's original release used uncompressed Redbook/CD-DA tier quality sound samples (actually one of the main reasons why Dreamcast's version had to be cut into two separate GD-ROM discs: the size of sound files in the original is truly huge due to it being absolutely raw samples for each and every sound in the game). Due to lack of VMU functionality an entire separate mini-game ("Pinta's Quest") was completely removed, which, considering that Pinta was a fully developed separate 3D character model in the original game, essentially means Gamecube's port completely lacks the said character (however, to somewhat balance this out Gamecube's port added several completely new characters that were never in the Dreamcast's release or planned to be in it even DLC content-wise, such as Piastol and fake pirate trio for example). Gamecube's port also improves quite a bit on most characters', vehicles, ships', and locations' models sheer polygon count-wise, adding more details and rounding up previously clearly rough edges on world's 3D models, but these improvements are hardly noticeable by the untrained eye so you have to know exactly where to look to spot a significant difference from the original Dreamcast release. Gamecube's port also fixed previously bugged "Zivilyn Bane's quest" line and this can be done fully from start to finish now (Dreamcast's original Japanese release's "Zivilyn Bane" quest can be fully completed too, but US' and EU's later localization broke some flags during development which produces bug that renders the said quest completely uncompletable, pun not intended, in any versions of this game other than the said very first original Japanese release on the Dreamcast and later Gamecube ports of it).|-|Ikaruga|✓||||✓|✓|'''Dreamcast:''' most faithful port to the arcade, Japanese Subtitles only.'''GameCube:''' some slowdown issues, slightly poorer graphics, Conquest mode which is not in any other port (select stage + specific section) but it is also the only version without subtitles.

'''PC/Xbox:''' Was developed by another team so there are some minor changes to the environment. '''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 creator said that the GameCube version is the best.|-|Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg|✓||||||||'''PC:''' Inferior to the original 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: The Twilight Princess||||||✓|✓||'''Wii:''' The World is mirrored and Motion control was added.'''Wii U:''' HD Remaster with [https://zelda.gamepedia.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess_HD#Changes_and_Additions too many changes to list here]|-|Killer 7|✓ |✓|||||||[https://www.speedrun.com/Killer7/guide/vrviv Full list of changes]|-|Mario Power Tennis||||||✓|||'''Wii:''' 16:9 widescreen mode.

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.
