If it was, indeed, a failure why was there a direct sequel; a follow-up Brawl-style game on two SKUs; and a DS version? For a failure, they sure did spend a lot of money extending the franchise...

Don't forget the PSP version!

And two PS2 ports!

I suppose someone could twist this around and say Capcom made so many versions because they desperately wanted to squeeze a profit out of the game (although I don't think it usually happens that a bad-selling games get ports as a desperate move).
