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

===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. Certain console ports of the PC games, however, may feature exclusive content like completely different soundtracks or extra missions. A notable example is the [https://nolf.fandom.com/wiki/The_Operative:_No_One_Lives_Forever#PlayStation_2_Edition flashback mission] in ''No One Lives Forever'', which is only available for the PS2 version of the game.
==NES==
|PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, PS4, Xbox One, 3DS, PC, PSP (R)

MD: ''Mega Man: The Wily Wars'', a compilation/enhanced port of Mega Man 1-3 plus a new set of levels unlocked after beating the three games. Includes updated audio and an inconsistent 16-bit graphical overhaul. Has a manual saving system along with passwords. Areas that had massive sprite flickering in the NES versions now slow down considerably instead (leading to an imbalanced Yellow Devil fight). Was later re-released on the Sega Genesis Mini and re-printed by Retro-Bit, the latter of which attempted to fix some of the slow down that occurred in the original release.
PS1: ''Rockman Complete Works'', individually released ports of all six NES games. Extra gameplay modes added. Museum and Database options. Vibration and PocketStation support. Automatic saving. Arranged music in addition to original music (the earlier games have less arranged tracks). Slowdown removed. Officially released in Japan only.
PS2/GC/Xbox: ''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'', a U.S. compilation of the Complete Works versions minus some features. Includes other Mega Man games not released on NES. The Xbox versions include arranged musicand controller configuration options. The GC version has inverted A/B buttons. The PS2 version has input lag. Each version has different exclusive video extras.
PS4/XB1/3DS/PC: ''Mega Man Legacy Collection'', a compilation of the NES versions of all six games. Includes the Museum and Database features from the Complete Works versions. Also includes various overlays and filters. Some versions may have input lag. The US version of Mega Man V in the 3DS version has frame-rate issues whereas the Japanese Rockman 5 does not have this problem, however, the Challenge mode uses the US version. The release is a port/emulation hybrid of sorts.
GC: Emulated. Unlocked in ''Metroid Prime'' if a GBA with ''Metroid: Fusion'' is connected to the system
GBA: Remade as ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', updated using the engine from ''Metroid: Fusion''. Updated graphics & and sound, cutscenes, expanded story and world. The original NES Metroid is also included as an unlockable which also saves the player's password.

'''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 60fps, but it can also go down to 20fps, and usually wavers in between for the majority of the game.

|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
* '''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 American PS1 PlayStation version. Removes loading times, but and also FMVsfor 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.

* '''DC:''' Enhanced port with better graphics.

* '''PC:''' Backgrounds/FMVs are the same resolutions as the PS1 version. The original release had the music played through terrible MIDI instruments. The music can be fixed with a mod.
* '''Steam:''' The recent PC release on Steam fixes all issues, making it the current definitive version. PS4 and iOS ports of the recent PC release have been released, with later followed by Switch and Xbone ports in the future.
A full remake of the game has also been announced, coming first to the PS4.

Cannot be directly installed on 64-bit OSes; you must extract the files manually. Files fail to save after reboot if this is done.

|
* '''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.
* '''GC:''' 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 tone is a complete face-heel turn, having much less realism than the original game.

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.
* '''GCN:''' 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.
|-
* '''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 the Xbone. Includes some content inspired from the prototype version Resident Evil 1.5 but then cuts some more. Positive reception.
|-
|
* '''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 the Xbone.
