It would probably do quite well in niche terms, with no skin off Capcom's nose. Couldn’t Capcom farm out something like this to a niche publisher, though?

A company like Capcom does not want its games to pop up in the bargain bin a few weeks after release, it's just part of the company mission. alice nailed it. look at how Zak and Wiki is billed a commercial failure even though the game is a ton of fun.

They are known for big box AAA titles, while other smaller publishers (Atlus, NIS, Mastiff, etc) are known for small runs of niche titles. Capcom might not be able to sell a niche small run title without hurting their chances of decent placement for the next Resident Evil/Street Fighter/Devil May Cry. @JeremyR
