Capcom's been offering more support to Nintendo this generation than most companies.

That's debatable.Yes, Capcom has put a good amount of games on Nintendo system this gen, but if we take a closer look, we could question the quality of that support.
The obvious, Monster Hunter, is on 3DS, sure. But when you think about it, it's the console that the MH userbase mostly own, specially in Japan. Unless the PS4 surpass the sales of the 3DS in Japan, there's no finantial reason to bring those games to the other system, specially when it's cheaper to develope for the 3Ds that the PS4. The same can be said with Phoenix Wright. Monster Hunter sold great on the WiiU (for WiiU numbers), but we aren't getting a Monster Hunter 4U, that uses the same assets from MH3 Ultimate.
Street Fighter 3DS was a port that would have been more apreciated on home console, fans of the fighting genre prefer a controller over a handheld. Being a launch title from a popular franchise, it was cheap to make and bound to sell well.
Resident Evil Revelation was a multiplat that sold the best on the 3DS. Did that console got the sequel? No. I don't know the reason why. At least The Mercenaries worked well enough.
That for the titles Capcom has made for Nintendo systems.What about all those HD remasters? Resident Evil 1, Devil May Cry, RE Zero... Yes, the WiiU is not as powerful as the HD twins, but if the PS360 can do some of those, the WiiU can do too. Capcom has a lot of cartoony fighters, like Marvel VS Capcom, or Street Fighter itself, but there's no port for the U. I suppose Nintendo will announce eventually some Wii games from Capcom on their Virtual Console, Okami in particular.
People could say the audience isn't really there, but we have to consider two things: First, if a company doesn't put their games on a system, there won't ever be an audience, like a selffulfilling prophecy. Second, bringing some of their multiplats to Nintendo systems shouldn't be that expensive. The games are already made for PS360, even if the sales aren't great, people can see good intentions. Per examle, People bought RE REvelations 1 on the 3DS were dissapointed that the sequel wasn't on their system. What do you think are going to be the ressults of the RE Revelations 3 if Capcom decides to bring that title back to the 3DS? People won't buy it there, because they prefer having all the series in one system.
