I'm thinking of posting a review for Tales of Destiny, but I wanted to review both the original and the remake which are very very different games, and the way it looks right now I'd only be able to post my review of one or the other or it would fall under a multi part review, which isn't allowed. Is that the case?

I'm also curious if I can write an review for the console release of an game and the handheld port, which has an entirely different genre of gameplay.

The easiest option is just to note at the top "This review is for the remake" or "This review is for the handheld port." However, if the games really are distinct enough, then they need their own pages anyway, at which point this problem becomes moot. Then you'd have VideoGame.Tales Of Destiny 1997 and VideoGame.Tales Of Destiny 2007 Remake.

But normally for games, the remake isn't a big enough difference to actually split the page. I haven't played it, but usually it's just graphics and gameplay updates. If it is major enough for a split, then you can do that.

The battle system works completely differently, the story is drastically different in several places, the remake has an entirely new storyline following another character, said character's personality is different, the villain's motives are different... It would be a bit of a cleanup process making two new pages since quite a few of the tropes listed are for the remake, but they are very different games, it's not like the 2007 version was just a port of the 1997 version.

The answer to my original question has been given though. Splitting the pages is a separate issue.
