Goodspike
In 2000, Capcom released Cannon Spike (USA, Gunspike JPN) for Naomi and Dreamcast. A top-down shooter developed by genre masters Psikyo, it featured a number of Capcom mainstays in starring roles.
The arcade version featured @char=charlie_sfa@, @char=cammy_stf@, and a redesigned @char=arthur_mvc@ alongside original characters Shiba Shintaro (the skateboarder) and Simone (the lady). Exclusive to the Dreamcast were bonus characters @char=megaman_mvc@ and @char=bbhood_das@.
@char=vega_stf@ also appeared in redesigned form as "Fallen Balrog," a boss.

What could have been
According to game co-developer Alan Noon (who also played Blade and his palette-swapped cohorts in the game), Capcom initially did not specify that the game would be based on the movie, just that it would be a new Street Fighter with digitized graphics, using actors for the movie. Under the impression that they were designing Street Fighter III, Noon and the rest of the team came up with a list of fighters that included Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, E. Honda, Sagat, Vega, Cammy, Akuma, M. Bison, Blanka, Dee Jay, Fei Long, Dhalsim, Sheng Long (Gouken), Geki, Retsu, Lee, Gunloc, and Mega Man.
