From what I’ve heard, it might have something to do with Capcom’s MT Framework engine that they use to make these games with. MT Framework works on PS4, Switch, and PC. It DID USED TO work on Xbox One until MICROSOFT REMOVED support for it on their Xbox platform. If this is the case, then there really is no way for Capcom to port the game to any Xbox console (not even Xbox One) unless they make a completely NEW engine that can run the games as well as possible but that would cost Capcom significantly more time, resources, and man power with the only real benefit being that they could make one extra version of the game (for Xbox). Since they don’t need to do any of this in order to port the game on almost ANYTHING ELSE, they might not see this option as being worth it. Meanwhile, if Microsoft were to return MT Framework to the Xbox One, Capcom could just quickly port the game to the Xbox One and the Xbox Series owners could just play via backwards compatibility mode.
Xbox "working with Capcom" to bring 2D and classic arcade fighting games to their platform, reminds me of when Sony was trying to get Capcom to bring most of THESE EXACT SAME GAMES onto the Playstation; months or a year after the clearly superior Saturn versions were out. It was the EXACT same situation. Somehow; the more powerful Playstation; couldn't get these 2D masterpieces (which will always stand the test of time) to run well on their "SUPERIOR " PSX hardware, and they ended up brining trash and gimped versions of those games to Playstation. Somehow the Saturn just had the better architecture to make 2D games play the best on it. Now it's 2024 and Nintendo Switch (and Playstation 4) are in the position of Sega, only Nintendo ain't going nowhere and Microsoft is in the potion of Sony back then; with a high chance of just becoming a subscription service and will probably get a Somehow lesser version of these games. Also, love how when Nintendo Switch wasn't getting certain games that could have been done well, if they effort and money was spent into it; it was Nintendo's fault for making weak hardware or making it "hard" to port games to it. Now that it's the other way around; it doesn't seem fair does it?
