[...] In December “some but not all” plans for the coming year of celebrations will be shared. There are many moving parts and not everything will be done and final come December. No one has promised a game or even an announcement of one at that time. Please do keep expectations in check. - Capcom’s Christian Svensson
They're not saying that there won't be a game, but they don't want people getting hyped up for that. Still, I really hope there's some sort of game in the works.

My guess is that a game is in the works, but they don't know whether or not it'll be far enough along come December.
I would say a simple 8-bit Megaman 11 would be enough for me, but without Inafune's imput/development and guidance this time, i'm not so sure how that would turn out.
It'll probably just end up being a new classic Megaman collection, bundling for the first time on disc, copies of Megaman 9 and 10 along with the first 8 again. I don't know.
Translation: We want your money (since we can leverage the anniversary) but not THAT much.
Sad, isn't it=??? I remember 3-7 years ago, I thought Capcom was the best 3rd party company, with (then) recent titles like Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4, Mega Man X8, Mega Man Battle Network 3, Monster Hunter, Viewtiful Joe, and Street Fighter IV coming out (and those IPs plus many more putting out good quality).
Now, in my opinion their "hype" is just bait and catch, rehashes (although those can be enjoyable; Mega Man 9 and 10, for instance), tons of DLC (including on disc), and they routinely screw over their fans.
I don't care for Megaman, but it would be good if it really were a gae.
Anniversaries are when you're supposed to go balls out. The fact that they want people to "keep expectations in check" shows how far in the dumps this series is.
People are going to keep expecting a game, because a game is what the series needs right now. As far as anyone is aware, every Mega Man project that was in the works has been cancelled, and people have been getting worried that Capcom is abandoning the series. As a result, Mega Man fans aren't going to be satisfied until they know that an actual, worthwhile Mega Man game is in the works. Anything else just isn't going to be enough.

You're aware that Inti Creates made the last Megaman games right? Inafune wasn't involved in them to my knowledge, he was just a small supervisor.
It's Capcom. I've learned to keep my expectations in check LONG before they told me to do so.
Capcom:
-Announces two huge Mega Man games.
-Cancels 2 Mega Man games.
-Puts Mega Man on the shelf after 2 well-received Mega Man games.
-Releases several mediocre and/or over hyped Resident Evil games after tons of Resident Evil backlash over recent games.
-Tells us certain online features wouldn't work for the Xbox 360 version Tekken X Street Fighter.
-Those same features worked on the Xbox 360 version of the latest Mortal Kombat release.
-Tells us to get hyped for the Mega Man Anniversary.
-Tells us to not get hyped for the Mega Man Anniversary.
Seriously Capcom, make up your mind and tell the truth!!!

You're aware that you're wrong right?
