During Capcom's 45th General Shareholders meeting, one attendee asked about the company's plans for the Mega Man series. Capcom's response was to the point: "Mega Man is one of our highly-valued IPs and we are considering how to create games for it
on an ongoing basis."
This response mirrors a similar one from roughly a year ago, where Capcom indicated that future titles depend on "the development of a solid concept, ideas, and gameplay." They also mentioned that future ports of back catalog titles would involve "addressing technical issues."
Now, on a somewhat related note, another investor inquired if the results of the Capcom Super Elections, where Mega Man was a very popular candidate, would influence the production of new titles in general. Capcom replied: "We value all our IPs and are considering ways to utilize them not only in games but in other media as well. For games, we believe the gameplay and specific appeal that an IP holds are important. We take a multifaceted approach to our games, including new titles, remakes, ports, and collections."
So the quick and dirty version: Capcom continues to evaluate the development of new games regularly, and we'll keep seeing Mega Man (and other legacy IPs) in different media.
