Do Capcom games often not come in the y-fold seal?

I only purchase new copies of games, and almost all of them have been sealed in the traditional "y-fold" plastic.

However, only a couple have not. The first was Devil May Cry 4, and the second is Super Street Fighter IV.

Is it a coincidence that both of these are Capcom titles? I did a Google search and found that many people have purchased new copies of games, especially Capcom titles, that were not sealed the way that most brand new titles are.

These two games were sealed with the "seam" pressed along the edges (almost like a shrink wrap), not with the "y-fold" on the top and bottom of the game case.

Both were listed as new by the retailers I purchased them from. I don't want to assume that major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy would be rewrapping used games and selling them as "new."

Is this a common thing for Capcom games? I know that two other Capcom games I purchased recently (Resident Evil 5 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3) WERE wrapped in the traditional"y-fold" seal.

Yeah I think most of them don't come in the y-fold seal. I buy most of my games at Wal-mart and Future Shop and they are like that to so I wouldn't be worried about the places you buy your games from re-wrapping them.

Yeah, I was just concerned because two of the Capcom games I've purchased were sealed differently, while the other two were sealed in the "traditional" way, but every other non-Capcom game I've purchased in recent years has been sealed in the "normal" way. Wondering if this was specific to Capcom's manufacturing practices.
