There was never a contract between CAPCOM & Nintendo for RE exclussivity or the "CAPCOM 5"...this was a HANDSHAKE between Mr. Mikami and Mr. Miyamoto...but CAPCOM's upper magaement had other plans. I mean look at how they barely advertised the GAMECUBE RE's, then broke exclussivity by allowing the side story & Outbreak RE's on PS2, then they advertise Outbreak all over the place with TV ads that say "back on PS2!!!" and now this! Mr. Mikami better not be involved with the port to PS2. He BETTER leave CAPCOM for a cushy job at Nintendo. CAPCOM's management *sucks*...I mean really, that's why industry veteran Mr. Okamoto left them and that's why they're purposely sabatoging the GAMECUBE version in favor of the PS2 version by announcing it NOW. I mean seriously...they're doing this before the holiday shopping season...you don't think this won't hurt GAMECUBE sales...let alone how this is already affecting mindshare. Yeah, maybe Nintendo shoulda invested in CAPCOM back when they asked, but why should they do that when CAPCOM was inevitably gonna support PS2 more, port thier "exclussive" games and then bail.

Tales Of Symphonia
Super Monkey Ball
Bloody Roar
Virtua Fighter Quest
Soul Caliber
Godzilla
It's like all companies love proclaiming exclussives for GAMECUBE, then bend Nintendo over in thier sleep leaving them with a sore ass in the morning.
Mr. Mikami and a good chunk of CAPCOM had BEST be working at Nintendo when this is all said and done. I'd love him to work on the next Famicom Detective Club for Revolution, or maybe a new mature themed game that WILL stay exclussive to Nintendo consoles for once!
