To me it seems like C64 and ZX Spectrum are based on the NES version, which uses pre-rendered pseudo-3D graphics, while Amiga and Atari ST are based on the PC version, which uses polygonal 3D graphics. The Wikipedia description suggests to me that NES is the original design, having began internally at Mindscape before being outsourced to Beam to finish.
Bionicle
Released for PC, PS2, & XBox in October 2003
Ported to Gamecube in September 2003
Released for XBox in December 2003

Interestingly, the Gamecube version has the earliest release date, but is listed as a port, credited to Coyote Developments.
I-Ninja

Released for PS2 in November 2003
Released for XBox in December 2003
