That's because his mysterious aura is still there. Also, I'm sure he will play a bigger and better part in future Sonic games.
I'd actually be surprised if Shadow was in any future Sonic games. It just doesn't seem to me like SEGA even wants to continue acknowledging the existence of Shadow, let alone feature him in another game.
