Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?

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?

Xenoblade Chronicles X

I own it on the WiiU and yes I can use an emulator but a proper port which better integrates the content from the second screen into a one screen interface would be great.

Honestly, I feel like any manner of integrating the game pad screen is going to end up feeling like a downgrade, simply because of how information dense the map is compared to the minimap on the main screen. I've been emulating it, and playing it on a multi monitor setup has been absolutely amazing.

Worlds Adrift. It was shut down by the creators partly due to funding another project but also partly because the serverside was built on a proprietary OS that isn't supported anymore so there weren't any options other than re-building it from the ground up

3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3. Forget good ports, this poor game didn't get ANY ports.

Oh man one of the biggest regrets was me getting rid of this game so much fun.

Seriously, that game was a charming semi-parody of some RPG elements and aspects of classic Legend of Zelda.

One of my favorite parts was the character creator, such a smart integration of a voxel editor. It put me in the mind of RPG Maker's pixel art sprite editor with how it had you make a small voxel spritesheet for the character.

Aside from everything Nintendo makes- with how they run the switch, I really wish they'd crash out of the console market- I would hope for the Bomberman Battle Royale game that was on Stadia only. It was some sort of deal to keep it there, but it was definitely a fun Bomberman game.

Follow-up: what are some of the lesser known or niche games trapped on a hardware platform you'd like to see a good port of?
