E3

But the one in the arcade is a different game, I played it. It's F-Zero yeah, but the graphics engine, levels, vehicles and physics are all different. Plus it's still a Nintendo/Sega arcade cabinet. It's not an 'updated' version or 'special edition', it is its own game.

It's its own game in that it has some all-new tracks, yes. But it does not have a different physics engine or graphics engine. It was developed simultaneously with the GC version, by Sega. You can unlock the AX tracks in the GC version. Some of them, at least. And there are supposed to be some GX tracks in AX. And of course, use your vehicles in the arcade version via your memory card. The game was developed with the Triforce arcade hardware (which is basically the GC hardware) that Sega, Namco, and Nintendo developed. The engines are the same, and if there are any differences then they are tiny.

PC is a platform, and can be considered a console. Some people only use them for that (Alienware). So it's not a big stretch to say that if a game is ported from a console to PC that it's a 'multi-platform' game.

They are not in the same market, they do not really compete with each other, therefor publishers can call Doom 3 an "XBOX exclusive" even though it's on the PC as well.
