Capcom spokesman Christian Svensson has announced via their official forum that prequel Zero on will not be launched in the West. The reason for this is, apparently, because we didn't want it anyway.

"There's thousands of used [GameCube] copies on eBay and at Gamestop and given the outcry against the project when announced it on these boards and others, it's pretty obvious that it's not wanted by gamers here," Svensson wrote.

I wouldn't hold you breath over this decision being revoked either. "Nothing is ever final, but we've been asked twice if we've wanted to bring it Westward and twice we've declined." Looks like we'll just have to take no for an answer then.

Still, at least you can take Svensson's shopping advice and head over to eBay if you are one of the few who like the sound of it.
