This list excludes the majority of games credited to Konami's subsidiaries and internal development studios (e.g. KCE Tokyo, Team Silent, etc.). Other Ports of Entry posts will cover them later.
Unknown lead platform:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
First released for GameCube, PS2, and Xbox on 10/23/2003.
Released for PC on 11/21/2003.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Released for PS2 and Xbox on 11/01/2005.
In Japan, this was a PS2 exclusive, and the PS2 version credits Digital Zero with additional graphics work. This may indicate PS2 as a lead platform, and would be consistent with Konami's contemporary works, but it isn't strong evidence at all - and the Digital Zero credit could even credit work done converting to PS2.
