Not surprised. It's a game where the characters play exactly the same, the artstyle is unappealing, the music is forgettable, the story is a cringe-inducing mess, the content is bare-bones, and the online is still a problem. I would've actually preffered a Switch port of Code Vein than this.
If people want to try out a somewhat decent arena fighter, then just get KLK:IF or One's Justice 2. They aren't perfect either, but at least they have superior artstyle, gameplay and soundtrack (and they have english voice overs which is a pretty big bonus imo).
From my understanding, maybe Smash Ultimate could be the MvC2 for the Smash series. In MvC2, the game mostly focused on re-introducing every single characters from the previous games (from CotA to MvC1) and including only a few newcomers. Then came MvC3 which had a smaller roster with much more newcomers, especially with the Ultimate edition. So who knows, maybe the next Smash installment could focus on bringing newer characters while sacrificing old ones, but that's just me anyways.
Of course, I also wouldn't mind if they keep updating Smash Ultimate for the next Nintendo platforms, didn't stop Capcom from doing the same thing with Street Fighter.
