Mega Man Goes to 11
|
|
  Via Nintendolife and others: Mega Man 11 Confirmed For Switch [and PC and Xbox One and PS4] In 2018. We don't know who's developing yet, but it looks like they're trying to do a HD-style NES game. For those keeping track, 1-6 and 9-10 were NES-style games, while 7 and 8 are largely forgotten.
It's set for late 2018 and I'm eager to hear how it is. And I hope it's a good ridiculously fanboyish Japanese developer working on it.
