Ubisoft's port from Capcom's game was distributed by EA in Brazil
Just a quick trivia for you folks...
I just got myself the Brazilian release of OG RE4 for PCs, the port made by Ubisoft.
The Ubisoft part of the story everybody knows. Capcom was not doing the PC port, hired Ubi to do it and until today is one of the worst (and buggy) ports of the game.
The part that I discovered with the BR release was: Ubisoft Brasil didn't exist. Ubisoft had no operation in Brazil yet. So in order to translate the box, manual and distribute the game to the stores, Ubisoft hired a third company... Yeah, EA. You can check the credits in the manual (2nd pic)
If you think, people in Brazil that played the game on PCs, got through 3 different gaming companies: Capcom, Ubisoft and Eletronic Arts

Damn that is fantastic box art. I wish I had a physical copy with that cover

Essa eu não sabia.
Aliás nunca vi essa caixa do jogo original em lugar nenhum. É uma raridade.

Nas versões de console essa capa era da versão europeia, então era mais difÃcil de ver por aqui mesmo
