Nintendo did that with the Gamecube. They signed Capcom on for 5 Gamecube exclusives and then Capcom went "lol fuck you" and released them on other platforms anyway.

The Capcom Five are five video games that were unveiled by Capcom in late 2002 and published from March 2003. At a time when Nintendo's GameCube console had failed to capture market share, Capcom announced five new GameCube titles with the apparent goal of boosting hardware sales and showing off third-party developer support. Capcom USA followed up with confirmation that they would be exclusive to the GameCube. The five games were P.N.03, a futuristic third-person shooter; Viewtiful Joe, a side-scrolling action-platformer; Dead Phoenix, a shoot 'em up; Resident Evil 4, a survival horror third-person shooter; and Killer7, an action-adventure game with first-person shooter elements. Though not directly related to each other, they were all overseen by Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami and, except Killer7, developed by Capcom's Production Studio 4. Capcom USA later clarified that only Resident Evil 4 was intended to be exclusive; the initial announcement was due to a miscommunication with their parent company.

I mean, it's not like Ryu being in Brawlhalla takes away from him being in Smash. Plus, both games play completely differently.

Yes, because Nintendo would be able to force Capcom to stop crossing over one of the most crossed-over characters ever, Ryu

Exclusive contracts with Capcom are never exclusive. Ask Nintendo and their exclusive Resident Evil 4 which is now ported even to toasters.

Looks like an updated Pocket Fighter
