Apparently in an interview with 1up and Keiji Inafune revealed that if they wanted to they can release Next Gen Megaman title if it wasn't for a financial gamble, as stated from a source:
In an interview with 1UP, Rockman creator Keiji Inafune said that creating a Rockman game for the next generation consoles would be a gamble towards CAPCOM's finances. "I'm not even saying it has to be Capcom money. It could be EA, actually. I should say a company we have ties with, so maybe Rockstar," said Inafune in the interview, saying quite honestly that the potential $15m for development could break put CAPCOM down a fair bit. From a producer's standpoint, Keiji also said that "Realistically, I would have to say, I would be worried if it would recoup the money we spend."
Also during the interview, when asked about what he would like the game to be, Keiji responded with Rockman DASH 3, and "If I was able to make a sequel without having to worry about money in any shape or form, I think it probably would be Mega Man Legends 3. And that's not just me -- a lot of the original team members would also love to make a sequel. They talk about it. I talk about it sometimes. I know they love that series and so do I. If I were to say right now, I have a tiny, tiny, tiny dream that I wish I could realize, but I don't know if it's possible, it would be to do a sequel in the Legends series. The framework that we used for our next-gen titles, creating it was not easy -- it took talented individuals. One was the main programmer on Mega Man Legends. He said, while creating it, he was envisioning how Lost Planet would fit in it, and how Dead Rising would fit, and on top of that, now 'any time you want to make a Mega Man Legends game with this framework, it's ready. All I need is the go and we can slap Mega Man in there."
So there you have it. If it were possible I wish it would be released ;D
