One of the reasons is probably because the original team of Assault Suit Valken no longer existed. This game was made by a different team. Another reason is probably the idea that 2D side scrollers no longer sold as good as 3D games. This should have been a spin-off and not a sequel.
Which is really funny because the same team made Front Mission game call Gun Hazard which played just like the original Assault Suits Valken (Cybernator in the USA) but it had minor RPG elements
