Most widely ported game?

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-05 0:22

I was just thinking of Metal Gear Solid and how it was ported to many systems.

I know games like Mario get around on cell phones and stupid shit like that, but is there any other game ported to many real consoles?

Resident Evil (first one) comes to mind.
It's been on Saturn, Playstation, PC, Gamecube (although that was a remake), Cell Phones, and Nintendo DS (Resident Evil: Deadly Silence).

Ys is the most ported game really
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys_(video_game)
Ys (イース, Īsu?, IPA: /iːs/) is a Japanese-origin computer role-playing game series, and Nihon Falcom's flagship franchise. It started on the NEC PC-8801 in 1987. It was later released to the MSX2, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, SNES, PC, PlayStation 2, PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 CDROM, and cellular phone. The title is often incorrectly spelled "Y's", which arises from a typographical error in the packaging of the English-language versions of the Sega Master System port of Ys I.

The Ys series chronicles the adventures of Adol Christin, a red-haired young man with a zest for adventure and an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time. Gameplay always revolves around Adol, though his comrade, Dogi, is a frequent companion in the story. Adol is the only truly playable character in the series. Feena was a non-controllable companion in Ys Eternal, and Tarf was set up similarly in Ys II ETERNAL. Several characters follow Adol around briefly in Ys IV. The standard gameplay mechanisms only involve the control motion pad to fight, like pushing the enemy until dead. Those gameplay mechanisms were done away with by the game's fifth installment, Ys V: Kefin, The Lost City of Sand. Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim graphically departed from its predecessors, using three-dimensional graphics, but the gameplay is distinctly old-school in style. Ys: The Oath in Felghana is presented in the same graphical style as Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim.

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys - 1989, 1991, 2005: NEC PC-8801, NEC PC-9801, MSX2, Famicom, TurboGrafx 16, Sega Genesis, SNES, PlayStation 2
Ys IV: Mask of the Sun: 1993, 2005: Super Famicom, PlayStation 2
Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys: 1993: PC Engine

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim (Japanese: ナピシュテムの匣 Napishutemu no Hako) - 2003: Microsoft Windows PC, PlayStation 2 and PSP (as Ys - The Ark of Naphistim)
Ys: The Oath in Felghana (Japanese: フェルガナの誓い Fuerugana no Chikai) - 2005: Microsoft Windows PC

NOTE: Ys: The Oath in Felghana is not technically a new game in the series, but is rather a heavily "re-imagined" remake of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, intended largely to make the game's events fit in better with the overarching plot threads introduced in later games. Therefore, Ys: The Oath in Felghana is considered canon, whereas the original Ys III: Wanderers from Ys is no longer considered canon.




Several Ys titles have been released on cellular gaming platforms:
Ys I - 2002, Hudson (Japan). 2-D graphics. Later this was released in North America as Ys Book I (2005, Hudson Mobile). This is the first cellular Ys title available in North America.
Ys II - 2002, Hudson (Japan). 2-D graphics.
Ys I - 3D - 2005, Taito (Japan). A 3-D remake of the original Ys game.
Ys I - 3D - Adventure of Dogi - 2005, Taito (Japan). 3-D graphics.
Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim - 2005, Taito (Japan). 3-D graphics.
Ys IV: Mask of the Sun - A new theory - 2006, Taito (Japan). 3-D graphics.
