* ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' was developed for the [[Game Cube]], but the game was delayed to the point where Nintendo realized they could release it on the [[Wii]] at the same time and have a launch game for that system. This succeeded, as the combined sales of both versions have made it the second bestselling game in the series.

** The two versions of ''Twilight Princess'' have one very noticeable difference: they're mirrored. Canonically, Link is left-handed, which holds true for the GameCube version, but because more people are right-handed than left-, Nintendo flipped the Wii version to make it easier for people to control. That means they flipped '''the entire game''', so maps have to likewise be flipped if you want to use them between versions.

* ''[[Resident Evil]] 5'' is the first of the series being made for two systems, although most of the main games later got ported to multiple consoles, and nearly all of them had PC versions on initial release.
