Not at all. o3o That's that if you can't see anything, the characters can't. The closest I've found is Offscreen Start Bonus, but that's not for stuff completely off the screen.

Next question: Do we have a trope for a game on a platform having more or less material than it does on other platforms?

Not a rerelease, and hmm... I suppose I can make the example an inversion of Polished Port, although that'd seem slightly demeaning.

Porting Disaster for the second one, I think.

But it's not horrendous, either. Well-ported, but with some stuff left out.

Then just put it down as a mild version, such as '[example] has done relatively well compared to some stuff on this list, but the port was missing this content that was in the original'. It fits better than an inversion of Polished Port, at least.

Eeeexcept that that's not what that trope states.

Oh, huh. Checked it again, and I thought that since 'substantial amount of missing content' was included, it'd qualify. Adaptation Distillation is all I can think of, then — except that that probably only applies to adaptations from one form of media to another...
