Kotaku claims to have spoken with insider sources at Nintendo, who attribute the lost exclusivity of Resident Evil 4 to Nintendo reconsidering the inclusion of Capcom characters in Brawl. RE4 was originally meant to be exclusive to the Gamecube, but concerns over sales led Capcom to release the title on PS2, and later on PC, with additional content.

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

Capcom has removed the recently added Enigma DRM from the PC version of its survival horror game, Resident Evil 4 remake.
The latest update for Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has replaced Denuvo with Enigma DRM, lowering in-game performance.
Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.
I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"
A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.
Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.
I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.
The first line of this story makes NO sense...
I don't want to sound like some sort of Nintendo hater, because I'm not, but when it comes to situations like this, Nintendo tends to always seem to be a little whiney. Sure, it would have been nice for Nintendo to exclusively have RE4 on their GameCube back in the day, but come on, Capcom needs to make a profit too. When there are like 120 million PS2s out there versus 20-30 million GameCubes, and the GameCube demographic is mostly (but not exclusively) a younger audience, it is the smart thing to do. Nintendo essentially made a few too many comprimes with the gamecube and hurt developer relations with the N64 to really warrant full, exclusive support from any company except 1st and 2nd parties really. So really, Nintendo should be mad at themselves for creating the situation back then and welcome back developers with open arms. "Sure, let's bring in [insert favorite Capcom charcter(s)] for Brawl. Sorry about the lackluster Gamecube sales, we understand why our exclusivity deal last generation broke off. At least we are doing better now".
Yeah, Nintendo's feelings get hurt just a little too easy sometimes. Look at the current fiasco with GoldenEye.
Also, I haven't heard anything about this idea, given that Nintendo's online system right now is not that advanced and they don't exactly have the most storage on their system, but it could be possible that more characters will become downloadable as time goes on. Characters like Mega Man or Leon could be added in at a later date. I don't see why this would be problem at all, though I won't hold my breath for it. I know Nintendo is a little slow with the whole idea of downloadable content for games, but you can always hope.
Mega man would fit perfectly.
Anyway I don't think there is a satiation between Nintendo and Capcom cause I believe Nintendo had something to do with the new Monster Hunter going exclusively for the Wii, so anything that happened in the past is probably under the bridge.
they didnt make any HERO like character .
the character that many gamers KNOW his/her name not just play it..
just compare RE charcters with MGS , there is no way in hell that u play MGS series and forget SNAKE and his character ..
but I played many RE games (1,2,3,4) but I didnt remember their names.
they must MAKE a series based on 1 or 2 MAIN character , so there u are!!
