Capcom's reluctance to port their fighters this gen baffles me in general. I mean this is the same company that whored SF2 to about every platform under the sun (even the Master System and original Game Boy!), who managed to squeeze SFA2 on to the SNES (complete with load times, lol), and they can't be bothered to bring SF4 to the best selling console (Wii) in history? Or TVC to the HD twins, who's audiences just bought 3m copies of their last fighter? Or *anything at all* to the best selling games system in history (DS)? REALLY? :/

So many missed opportunities...

Correct me if I'm wrong but this genre doesn't perticurly sell well on the wii....Even tetsunoko sold rather horribly imo....maybe capcom see it as a useless investment..but who knows, they might announce a wii version in the future

You're wrong.  Smash Brawl is the best selling fighter in history.  TVC is exceeding Capcom's expectations, and on pace to outsell what MVC2 managed on DC, Xbox and PS2.  Even licensed stuff like the Naruto and DBZ fighters are doing extremely well on Wii.  Even niche releases like GGXAC and the SNK Anthologies have done "okay" on Wii, comparable to what they did on PS2.

Context would help.

The ps2 and Xbox versions of MVC2 were in extremely limited print, thats why the game today sells for a ton today.  The Dreamcast not only had an extremely short shelf life (2.5 years), it also suffered from extreme piracy, thats why Capcom did not 1 but 2 re-releases of the game.
