Resident Evil Survivor PC port?! - Mass Distraction - 12-11-2013
Yeah, that was a thing. The weird part is, it was a thing only in China. And no, it's not some random pirate of the PS version converted to PC, it was an actual official release from Capcom. They went as far as rebuilding the game on a different engine and the light gun was changed to mouse aiming. However, the game was riddled with bugs and glitches including lacking AI scripts.
The port mentioned on Wikipedia
A forum thread regarding some of the problems in the game
Article and video footage
Japanese article on the game
It apparently was supposed to be released at least in Japan and Europe but that never happened. They most likely just saw it as a lost cause. Currently it's nigh impossible to come by an original copy of the Chinese release leading my hunt for it last forever.
EDIT: Added the video from the article I just found

What a random place to have an exclusive version of a game. I mean when was the last time you heard of a game that was only released in China that wasn't a bootleg or pirate.
