First party characters that are a fraction as known as Ryu.  The way things are now is Capcom releases their games on the platforms that are the most lucrative for them.  I'm sure there's no bad blood there its just business.  Look at how Tekken did on the Wii U, which included extra stuff like costumes and items (not sure what else they put in) and it bombed hard, there should be no hard feelings toward Capcom for not wanting to put a SF on the Wii U.  

This is what this comes down to, Nintendo includes Ryu and makes money off of his DLC sales, Capcom literally gets almost nothing out of this deal so Nintendo has to pay them to include him.  If Ryu was actually in the released roster you could argue he gets exposure, but as DLC how many people are actually gonna play as him?  Probably well under 1m.

They're still first party. They are Nintendo, and the game is about Nintendo. If Street Fighter isn't on Nintendo anymore,

Tekken isn't as big as Street Fighter anymore, and that launched fairly early in the Wii U's life cycle (I believe it was a launch title?).

I would argue much more than 1m people would play as Ryu. Currently 9m+ people own the game, and that's just after 6 months of sales. Looking at MK8 and SSBU as references, many people buy into the DLC given. He would get a ton of exposure.

I'm not even saying like a SFV port or anything big. Maybe a Nintendo x Capcom game, or a smaller-scale game. Literally anything. Something cost-effective that would get its money back fairly quickly. Shulk being in Smash has given a lot of attention to the Xenoblade series, and the same thing can happen with Street Fighter on Nintendo platforms.

Well a SFV port is impossible, Sony is helping in the development of the game that game isn't releasing on any other console.  Capcom couldn't even afford to make a next gen SF without Sony's support so a Nintendo x Capcom game isn't happening unless Nintendo makes it, or waits until SFV is done and aids in development similar to what Sony is doing now.  Even with Sony helping with SFV development Capcom still managed to get them to release it on PC no way Nintendo would allow anything like that.  Capcom's hands are pretty much tied here.
