It was ported to both the Sharp X68000 and the NEC TurboGrafx-CD in 1993.
The TurboGrafx-CD version was released on Super CD-ROM and features an enhanced redbook audio soundtrack and voice acting on the Japanese release.
The game was later ported to Sony PlayStation under the title Cotton Original in 1999.
The PlayStation release combines the enhanced digital CD-ROM soundtrack of TurboGrafx-CD release and the gameplay/graphics of the original Arcade version.
A version was ported to the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 2000.
Due to hardware limitations the Neo Geo Pocket Color features less detailed graphics and sound compared to previous versions, however it is still a faithful version of the original in terms of gameplay.
About TurboGrafx CD
The TurboGrafx-CD (1989) was one of the earliest CD-ROM add-ons for a home console, expanding the TurboGrafx-16's library with games too large for cartridges. Its already-niche parent platform combined with the added cost of the CD add-on kept the North American audience small, making complete TurboGrafx-CD sets a genuinely rare find for collectors today.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx CD titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
