Capcom

Capcom is the main company who distributes, publishes, and designs Resident Evil games.

The Deal
After the release of the three main resident evil games on the Sony Playstation, Capcom made a deal with Nintendo. The deal was that all remakes of the games of the series and any new games were to be only made for Nintendo. Capcom eventualy found a loophole. The loophole was that the deal said series, meaning they were allowed to make side-stories for non-Nintendo systems, thus Gun Survivor and Outbreak were born. Shortly after Resident Evil 4 was released on the Gamecube, Capcom broke the deal by announcing plans to port the game onto the Playstation 2. The deal seems to have been completely expired due to Capcom by releasing Resident Evil 5 on the Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 systems.
