probably the same reasons why FF, Star ocean, Breath of Fire, and a bunch of other franchises jumped ship from Ninty. Not really a mystery.

Those games used FMV and pre-rendered backgrounds that needed the CD format for space.  Street Fighter Alpha series could have fit on a N64 cartridge, and Street Fighter III series on a Gamecube disc.
