I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?

Megaman and Bass made it to GBA I think if you want to play the worst port ever. So many blind jumps.

You reminded me of "Drakken" for the snes. Don't think that was a very good game though.

As someone who played Drakengard, the story is cool but the gameplay is absolutely awful. The gameplay is repetitive and the game feels like trying to play a Dynasty Warriors game with the controls of Ace Combat 2, but only for the ground parts because the flying parts control nothing like Ace Combat. Even Yoko Taro agrees that the gameplay is trash.

Its a game with a cool story but youll have a 10/10 better experience just watching the cutscenes. If ever a game needed a remake where major gameplay systems are completely overhauled or changed, its definitely Drakengard.
