Mikami had concerns that if the gaming endeavors from Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox didn’t work out, “they might just go back to what they’re good at and what they’re known for.” In an interview with Variety, he explained that the partnership came about due to concern for the gaming industry.

Mikami signed an exclusive deal with Nintendo before Resident Evil 4’s launch.

A big part of that was due to director Shinji Mikami. Originally, it was created only for the GameCube.

Resident Evil 4 is on a ton of different platforms now, but that wasn’t always the case.
