No. The Capcom 5 was a way for Nintendo to attract the "hardcore gamer" to the 'Cube and it didn't work. Though we did get some pretty sweet games out of it:
Dead Phoenix - Cancelled after it missed it's Summer 2003 release date
P.N.03 - Generic game (63 on metacritic) that time has forgotten. Sept 2003 launch
Viewtiful Joe - Kick-ass game that everyone loved, came out Oct 2003, later ported to PS2 in August of 2004.
Killer7 - planned exclusive that got delayed into oblivion. Launched June 2005 alongside a PS2 release. Also an average game.
And of course, Resident Evil 4. Slated for Nov. 2004, was delayed to Jan 05 and when they announced the delay, confirmed a PS2 version that launched in Oct 2005.
The infamy of the Capcom 5 will live forever, but eventually will be forgotten.
Though, my RE4 copy still says "Only For" GCN, so I'm happy about that.
EDIT: Capcom Production Studio 4 made all the games in the Capcom 5. It was disbanded after the launch of Killer7 and many of the developers went on to form new studios. Including one that has been very close with Nintendo: Platinum Games. Read: Bayonetta, MadWorld, Astral Chain, Wonderful 101, and *shudders* Star Fox Zero.
