Curioso, não?

Li por aí que o Shinki Mikami havia originalmente conversado com a Microsoft para que o Resident Evil 4 fosse exclusivo do Xbox, mas a entrevista fora embaraçosa, silenciosa, os caras não entendiam japonês... aí ele recusou a Microsoft e firmou parceria com a Nintendo.

Xbox lost Resident Evil 4 exclusivity due to Shinji Mikami interview. Taking advantage of the fact that Halloween is just around the corner and to celebrate that one of the kings of survival horror is already part of Microsoft, we want to remember this interesting anecdote from Microsoft and Resident Evil 4. Although it is now available for all platforms, the truth is is that Resident Evil 4 was originally released as a GameCube exclusive. The Capcom title not only offered a shocking change to the genre, but it was a resounding success with critics and public and won the GOTY of the year 2004.

Apparently, the relations between Sony and Shinji Mikami weren’t quite good at the time. For this reason, the current director of Tango Gameworks began conversations with Microsoft, which at that time was about to launch the first Xbox. And it offered him the chance to exclusively launch Resident Evil 4 for Microsoft. However, Microsoft ended up losing the exclusivity of Resident Evil 4 for Xbox because the interview with Mikami went terribly wrong.


Not only was the interview conducted entirely in Japanese, and the Microsoft team hardly found out what was going on. But, also, when Mikami asked what Microsoft was going to offer to the console market, the translator’s response was complete and absolute silence. So Mikami’s team was clear at the time: He left the meeting in the middle and headed to Nintendo headquarters, which ended up launching Resident Evil 4. The rest is history.

But, ironies of life, the separation between Microsoft and Shinji Mikami was temporary. Tango Gameworks is already part of Xbox Game Studios and we can’t wait to find out what it surprises us with.
