And I want classic Dante in a new DMC. Capcom does these things. To be totally honest, though, has Mega Man been commercially successful enough lately for Capcom to care? Aside from Khuntry who is diehard for MM, I didn't know the public at large gave this much a damn about the Blue Bomber. Nobody threw a party for Volnutt in TvC (and ironically Zero got more praise). He was ignored and even called out as annoying and weak in his MvC appearances. The spin-offs, ZX, Battle Network, Star Force, and Battle Command weren't huge. And they pushed BN hard - TV show and all. Nobody gave a shit.

So while I may understand why Khuntry is pissed at not having a proper MM or X in legit form for MvC3, or having Legends 3 or Universe come out, I don't see why the public at large gets so testy with the conspiracy theories when the public at large did not support Mega Man in the franchise's time of need.

I'd also assume some of the anger could also be related to the strange or bad decisions Capcom has made this generation which keeps getting their fanbase really upset (ex. Resident Evil switching to an action-focused games, costly DLC, multiple versions of the same game, etc).
DmC, Legends 3 cancellation, PR confusion over SFxT Gems, unnecessary Westernization of their franchises, and others. Capcom's been on some strange shit.

It's hard to buy and support games that don't get released.

Universe was reported to be a mess with its controls but it was fixable.
Legends 3 had a lot of excitement around it. Even when they insisted on only showing footage of that weird new guy and not MM, people ate it up. I even had plans to buy a 3DS purely to play MML3 and I'm not even the most hardcore MM fan.

There was no shortage of attention for either MM game. Even now, there is a petition for the continuation of MML3 with almost 60,000 supporters. That's almost 10,000 new supporters each month and it's just the hardcore English speaking fans. I'm sure there are even more here, in Japan and elsewhere that haven't signed the petition.
Though Capcom have said the game is dead for good. No matter how many people petition.

I know Inafune may have suggested BBAMM be in SFxT but I doubt he suggested attaching him to any previous MM.
