Considering how cheap Nintendo's prototyping is, and the Mario Kart 8 team worked on it (they're so damn efficient) I doubt it was a flop financially. What was it at last...1.6M units sold? The game is not model heavy, art directors most likely didn't spend much on R&D of graphic technology, most likely pulled shaders and lighting techniques straight from Mario Kart 8. But eh, I'm digging too deep, short answer is probably not. For a new IP in the traditional fighting genre, I think it did quite well.
