Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port?
I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.
It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?

Extreme G 2 on pc loses the analog steering from N64, which turns out is a big deal. Throwback Entertainment made a port-of-a-port and introduced a speed hack in the launcher menu where you can slow down the game a bit, which helps, but doesn't fix the issue.
In some other cases like Hexen, there were alterations on console that I find generally more appealing, like an ost remaster or lighting effects.
The Genesis game Zero Tolerance and Dreamcast version of Expendable are games I prefer on console simply because of the control schemes on pc.
Never thought I'd hear someone say anything good about Zero Tolerance's controls...
Now imagine that, but on a keyboard. No mouse. That's pc controls for ZT
Yeah, I have it on GOG. It's terrible controls on both. Lol.
