My favourite example of all time is Link in Soul Calibur 2. I hope they bring back Link in future Soul Calibur games :D
I would only want character exclusives on each platform if there was a copy-write reason for doing so, or there was no other way to add them, for example Link & Mario wouldn't be able to star in Playstation fighting games, but they could on the Nintendo version of the game.
But Spawn (in the Xbox version of Should Calibur 2) might as well have been on all platforms because players shouldn't miss out on content if they don't buy all consoles/versions of the game. Xbox could have had Master Chief or another Xbox exclusive character.
I have (or have/had in the household): ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, NES, Sega Master System, Super Nintendo, Sega Megadrive, Gameboy, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Windows 95, Gameboy Colour, Windows 98, Sega Dreamcast, Gameboy Advance, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Windows XP, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, Windows Vista, iPhone, Windows 7, 3DS, Wii U, PS4, Windows 10, PSVR, Switch, PS5 & PSVR2. :D
and I Don't have: Magnovox Odyssey, Any Atari's, Any Macintosh computers, Sega Gamegear, Virtual Boy, Sega Saturn, N-gage, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PSP, PSVita & Andoid Phone. Plus any non-main-stream consoles/platforms I haven't mentioned.
