A remaster for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One was released in 2018. The original Warlords version was ported to Microsoft Windows, although it was only available in China and Russia. An updated form as Genma Onimusha ( Japanese: 幻魔鬼武者) for the Xbox was released in 2002.

Fans have always wanted the content from the Saturn version to be added into the various reissues over the years but the original team never cared for it.Onimusha: Warlords, known in Japan as Onimusha ( Japanese: 鬼武者), is a hack-and-slash action-adventure video game and the first entry of the Onimusha series, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. This was the case when Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was ported to Saturn, a separate team created a new area and added Maria as a playable character. It could be that the Xbox version was handled by a different team and the original director wasn’t a fan of the changes/additions. Genma Onimusha was just an upgraded port of the original, not a remake or new game, and it wasn’t published by Microsoft so there shouldn’t be any rights issues. Look at the Resident Evil remake, it was developed exclusively for Gamecube but has since been rereleased on practically every console because Nintendo had nothing to do with the development.

The Twin Snakes was published by Nintendo which is why it never appeared anywhere besides GameCube. That’s only true if the exclusive version was published by or otherwise somehow financed by the platform holder.
