Sounds good to me, maybe the new producer is why they've been so quiet about Mega Man. With Inafue gone, I'd imagine it'd be pretty difficult for Capcom to do something with the IP and thinking that each idea with it could potentially be a bad investment or something, and they are cautious about it and trying to find a good way to bring the Blue Bomber back in the game that people will love, although they should've given explanations for their reasons of cancelling all those announced projects for it, maybe that would've taken at least some of the heat off them from angry fans. But with many of his games recently being re-released on digital download, licensing his inclusion in Smash Bros (Sakurai even said in a direct video that when they approached Capcom, they were very favorable and open to the idea, and the approval process of their plans of him went smooth and quickly), his recent mobile runner in South Korea, the archie comic series, and his new TV show coming in two years; while I don't find any of these to be all that amazing on their own, all of this combined is a sign to me that they are internally discussing what's going to happen with the franchise and they are indeed planning to bring him back one day, and in the meantime these are all early Christmas Presents to make his return as epic and amazing as possible. His appearance in Smash Bros in particular, is the PERFECT way way to spice up his upcoming entrance since its a very popular series and a system seller that almost everyone plays, and will get plenty of new faces more interested in the series. Not even Marvel vs Capcom could do this, as popular as it is, it isn't exactly a system seller. At the very least, I doubt they have truly given up on the franchise, and I think more is happening with him than what's being reported, and I predict that within the next 4 years they finally will announce something, or maybe even at next year's E3. Capcom isn't the company it used to be, but there's still some hope left and I remain optimistic that something will soon come our way.
And to the people who keep saying "Nintendo! Buy Mega Man from Capcom!", I personally am against the idea and heavily disagree with it for multiple reasons.
