Based on a recent survey sent by Capcom, the company is considering the future of several franchises in regards to digital distribution.
According to Christian Svensson, the outcomes will not automatically mean certain games and series will or will not have future digital releases but it will play a big influence when the actual decision is being made.
The survey itself has a series of questions dealing with the games being possible as just straight ports, HD remakes, reboots of series, or even as new games in a serie.
In regards to the Mega Man series, several questions dealt with the idea of possible compilation sets including all the sub-branches in the series. Also on the idea of these games being kept in the classic 2D sprite format (with or without HD upgrades) or redone in a pseudo 3D format (2.5D).
