|Switch<br>3DS

|style="text-align: left;"|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, 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.

|Windows (R)<br>PlayStation<br>Sega Saturn<br>

|style="text-align: left;"|A completely different game; while the original PC release is a straightforward FPS get from point A to point B, while Sega Saturn and PS1 versions are closer to being a 3D metroidvania. Whether Saturn or PS1 version is better is a matter of taste, PS1 has unlocked framerate and true translucency for water surfaces but its level geometry is simplified and lighting is distinctly different. The console versions served as a basis for the 2022 remaster for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC.

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://bw.artemislena.eu/nolf/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.

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.
