Eh, I agree that the GameCube version was the best version of RE4, but not the best Resident Evil. To me, the series started its downturn with RE4 and hasn't really grabbed its footing back (this while I also liked RE5 more).

However, the true fall of Resident Evil has little to do with "disowning" Nintendo and more to do with poor management, lack of identity (trying to be CoD, Uncharted, and RE all in one), and the loss of the series's creator, Shinji Mikami, as well as many other, key Capcom employees (among other things).

These recent blemishes would probably still exist regardless of what system / company Capcom chooses to (or not to) favor.

The loss of Mikami, however, has much to do with "disowning" Nintendo.

As I understand it, it goes far deeper than that. I read an article on this once (I Google it shortly) that details what happened within Capcom that lead to Mikami's departure. It wasn't 100% because of a betrayal to Nintendo.

Not 100% but it was the biggest factor. Remember that Mikami stated that he would cut off his own head before porting it to another console.
