@MaxlRoseGNR @gaga64 : It would be nice if re-releases of multiplatform games included all versions/releases of the game (especially handheld versions) rather than just the main PC/console versions. For example, the Wii, DS, and PSP had many games that differed from what had been released on PS3/360, so it would be nice if these would also be included for the sake of not only completeness but also for the different art styles that may have been adopted for weaker hardware, and for those that may have enjoyed a specific iteration of the game back in the day. And sometimes, these versions were virtually unrecognisable (other than by name) compared to the other versions, being completely different games.

For example, (and I'm not necessarily suggesting that it should be re-released, but) The Simpsons Game on consoles was quite different to the one on DS, while the console games (plus the PSP version) were more or less indistinguishable. While the story remains the same between the consoles and DS (the DS game being more condensed, and being a 2D platformer as opposed to 3D), the gameplay was completely different, and is worth experiencing both versions. In fact, the DS was arguably the best version as the controls were broken in the console versions (well, I can only vouch for the Wii version, which I had still persisted with to the bitter end).

The Harry Potter games were also quite different, and ironically, the GBC version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was far superior to the GBA game, which offered a totally different experience.

I actually quite miss the practice of handheld versions differing from the console games; it made multiple versions worth owning if you were a big fan of the franchise.

Similarly, The Sims 2 had perhaps an unprecedented number of different games, with only their name in common:

PC

PS2/Xbox/GameCube

Nintendo DS

Game Boy Advance

PSP

Mobile (which also had many versions, tailored to different types of phones)

That's at least 6 games. Being the Sims freak that I was back in the day (before EA irreversibly destroyed the franchise), having so many different Sims games come out at once was like heaven. Aside from a few superficialities, the listed games were all completely unique in terms of mechanics, story, gameplay, art style etc.

In short, I think the handheld/variant versions of multiplatform games should also be preserved.
