Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? (kbin.run)

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?

Sometimes the controls are just better on the Emulators at least on older PC ports as they would do dumb stuff like require a mouse / keyboard for menus etc.

On the steam deck in particular when getting steam versions of games with lower steam deck compatibility ratings it often comes down to odd menu issues or controller support.
