People complain about Nintendo milking the Mario franchise, but Capcom have been far worse with Megaman. They're a simple production line of games with no thought going in from sequel to sequel.
Capcom, take some time, go back to basics and rethink the franchise from the ground up. Megaman is still a great premise for a game, at the basic run'n'gun, platforming, power stealing level.

Agreed, the trouble is what we wish is never going to happen anytime soon, and it's due in part because of the factors you mention. Kenji Inafune the creator spoke at the recent Megamanniversary and was asked about the things that originalists would want, ie a new series of platform shooters, taking into the 3d realm etc, his main gripe was that there would be a risk factor involved!.
God do I hope the games go back to the roots of those early platformers and that they return to Nintendo's console.
Megaman 1, 2 ,3 were great but then the series went crap with all the lame games we see now. A platforming title on Wii would sell MEGA bucks in the U.S where the early platforming titles are fondly rememberd.
The Megaman series is due in full on the VC shortly, probally a much better choice than a import copy of the Anniversary Collection on GC which has the A and B buttons switched, my brain will never get used to it- very annoying, as it makes a already extremely hard games even harder.
