From the wikipedia article, it sounds as though the
game was recalled so that Nintendo could rebrand the game since they bought the rights to
it from Bandai. I was unaware of this, but the Power Pad attachment (and this game)
originated from Bandai and Nintendo subsequently purchased it.

I'm a little late, so someone may have answered this already.
A "recalled game" is the same as "recalled cars" (or any other item).
It was
defective in some way, for example the beta bug-ridden Metropolis Street
Racer game was accidentally(!) released on the Dreamcast. Once Sega (the
publisher) and the developer (can't recall who) found out they recalled the
game and the official (bug-free) version was released.
In my wisdom, I kept the bug-ridden version! The bugs I remember:
- In 50Hz mode, the sky texture was wrong... they used a building texture
instead!!
- When racing, the opponents cars would occasionally randomly dissappear and
never return (making for an easy win!).
- The custom music editor/player didn't always function as expected.
