Will Nintendo ever make a traditional console again?

GC version was odd.  It was wide-screen but cut to 4:3 so it was a much smaller screen.  Or something like that.  I can't recall the exact details but the ps2 version was better just because it was had a better aspect ratio.  

The GC was "letterboxed" (black bars at the top and bottom) while the PS2 version was full widescreen, but the PS2 version had a number of downgrades to get the game running on its less powerful hardware; textures, polygon counts, lighting, and effects were all downgraded compared to Gamecube.

Yep, I'm aware.  But letterbox made the GC FoV super small.  I preferred the ps2 version because it was much larger.  My vote is for the ps2 version.  

At the time I had a 16x9 TV.  The gamecube version, including black bars, was cut to 4:3, but displayed 16x9 within the 4:3 cut.  Meaning the actual game took up like half the screen.  

To this day it is one of the oddest developer decisions I've seen.

Edit

Not that it matters because RE4 remakes blows the original out of the water across the board (e.g. graphics, gameplay, etc.).
