First off, will you at least recognise the magnitude of what you are saying? Both MS and Sony have occasionally stated in press releases that they paid for a game, moneyhatting is considered a valid tactic. Nintendo has never before moneyhatted a game... ever

When the PS1 took all of the big 3rd party exclusives from the N64. Nintendo did not moneyhat
When the GC was selling buggerall and analysts were predicting Nintendo to become handheld only, Nintendo did not moneyhat
Why would they moneyhat now?

The Capcom Five say hello.

 

Capcom announced 5 games for the GC, cancelled one, released one simultaneous multiplat with the PS2, and later ported the other 2 of them to the PS2 with added features.

 

In what sense does this even remotely imply that Nintendo moneyhatted them?

yea but it doesn't make financial sense.  Resident Evil 0 would have sold at least a million, though judging my RE4 probably 2 or more and I see no reason why this would be a volunteer exclusive.  They would have made millions by at least porting this to PS2.  RE4 would not have been designed as a GC exclusive as well, capcom went against the will of the creator to make the port.  I could see a PS2 game with a GC port but not the other way around.
