Much of the talent that made the Dong-verse, Goldeneye/PD and others had already been bled out. Nintendo didn't want to deal with a growingly-costly husk with plenty of other major IP's already under their boot, and the whole mess behind SF Adventures was probably the final straw from both perspectives.

Would've been nice if they kept the IP's, but even then it could've gone both ways. Might've just been more F-Zero's where we barely got anything at all, at least Microsoft gave them a few shots before they proved how mis-managed they had become.
