And did with Maverick Hunter X, Mega Man Powered Up, or Mega Man X8.
They're certainly aware of Mega Man's 2.5D potential...

Adding flashy HD particle effects to the Mega Man series would be about as effective as making Police Academy 8 a Square Pictures CGI event.
So long as they're going to stick with the exact same formula without adding anything significantly new to the table, they might as well throw in some extreme retro flavor...
