|Beyond Good & Evil
|PlayStation 2<br>Xbox<br>Windows<br>PlayStation 3<br>Xbox 360
|style="text-align:left;"|'''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 creator said that the GameCube version is the best.

|Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
|Nintendo Wii
|style="text-align:left;"|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:<br>The Wind Waker
|Wii U
|style="text-align:left;"|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 However, the smooth transition effects from the original cutscenes have been replaced by fade-to-white effects, presumably due to the difficulty of implementing the original cutscenes' transitions in real-time rendering.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.

|Tales of Symphonia
|PlayStation 2<br>PlayStation 3<br>Windows
|style="text-align:left;"|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 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 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. Whoever takes this role is the player's choice, and whoever out of the group is chosen will gain a point in affection. The sealed spirits of young Kratos, Yuan, and Mithos can be challenged in the Underworld instead of the Living Armor of the GameCube edition. Additionally, three of the five Desian Grand Cardinals—Magnius, Forcystus, and Pronyma—can be challenged in the Underworld as well.
PS3/PC: Based on the PS2 version.

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.
