The Resident Evil 4 Deal That Betrayed Nintendo | Remember When

this guy needs a nap!

Exclusives don't benefit anyone.

capcom should have gotten sued for breaking the deal.

I remember this as well, it was definitely supposed to be a Gamecube exclusive and im still surprised that nintendo didn't sue capcom for the breach of contract, maybe they felt sorry for them because yes, the gamecube sold like ass. RE4 is one of the greatest games in history though, ive played through it like 10 times and also played it on multiple consoles, even on the PC, and xbox I think. I was dissapointed in the beginning when it was ported out and capcom backstabbed nintendo over it, but if the greedy grubbers didn't backstab nintendo, then we wouldn't have seen the game in its full potential, with updated gfx on the PC. So...alls well that ends well.

The press release says "Sony Playstaion 2."

Oh, Camcpopm. You did it again.

It was fun how the Game Cube version was the more incomplete but also the one that technically better worked until the Wii version came out. PS2 added a lot of content into an already beffy game but the game sometimes couldn't keep up and the PC version published by Ubisoft was atrocious until the proper re release.

It was somewhat treacherous of Capcom but I guess I understand their stance of ensuring that they stayed afloat. RE4 should have been a system seller but most people I knew were resigned to one system in those days and weren't prepared to fork out a week's wages for one or two games. I still own the game and my Gamecube and didn't feel too upset about the loss of an exclusive but I can understand Nintendo's dismay with Capcom.

Good vid, Kurt.
