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?

    Jet Set Radio Future not appearing on another platform or being rereleased does not have an officially known reason, but I 100% personally guarantee you its about music copyright. Either a license for a sound sample used in a song expired, or the license for a song expired. There is no other reason.

        I would agree, except that Future also does not appear as a port for any other Xbox console except for the original. The only way to play it is either an original Xbox, or backwards compatibility with an original Xbox disk [EDIT: JSRF is not backwards compatible on any Xbox platform, meaning the only way to play is on an OG Xbox or via emulation]. There are no ports or remasters of Future, despite wider availability of Jet Grind Radio.

        It is of note that Sony is the most aggressive with purchasing exclusive rights to third party games, a practice they still continue to engage in to this day that is incredibly infuriating.
