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.

I do remember him saying that (something similar regarding RE5), but again, I think that's less a case of favoritism to Nintendo and more to do with holding a certain standard to his work. He took it very personal that RE4 was ported to the PS2 (a move that helped the title shift more units than its GameCube counterpart, by the way), but he probably would have felt the same way had it originally been a PlayStation 2 exclusive ported elsewhere. It was the act, in general, that angered him at Capcom, not he, himself, feeling Nintendo was betrayed (unlike Nomura, who felt Square-Enix betrayed Sony with FFXIII's 360 announcement - hence his promise that Versus XIII would not sufer a similar fate).
Horse of another color.

He had nothing to do with RE5. The only comment he made regarding it was the he refused to play, because he would be mad at the things he would have done better.
This isn't an argument about fans feeling betrayed. This is about Capcom giving the shaft to the company that gave them the most success.
