@Yorumi Its just really really sad overall.

This project had potential in spades and came just at the right time too. For a game dev, its the opportunity of a lifetime !

Think of it:

Capcom cancels 2 major MegaMan releases, pisses off fans by choosing "Bad Boxart MegaMan" for Street Fighter X Tekken, leaving any incarnation of MegaMan out of MvC3.

Comcept had all the tailwind they could ever get.

Then, Smash4 acted as some sort of bizarre "interest gauge" in MegaMan, in that the hype for this game literally exploded once the MegaMan trailer hit the streets. The Capcom mockery for their "meh, people arent interested anymore" (Which were the reasons for the aforementioned cancellations) policy was at its absolute peak !

All they had to do was to make a MegaMan game...just without the license. They already had their cute mascot characters, their base game concept (Focus on dash attack chaining and such)...and i have no bloody idea what could have possibly backfired so hard to delay this simple game so much...

Lets face it, in the time of its announcement and its "supposed" release, how many MegaMan fangames have been completed ? If im not totally mistaken, it was Rock Force, Super Fighting Robot and Unlimited (Please, correct me if im wrong or missed some).

All made by hobby programmers and fans of the series and all on par if not above original quality.

If fans can beat them at their own game, without these insane fundings and in way less time, why the heck does it take so darn long for an industry veteran who partook in development of EVERY SINGLE MEGAMAN GAME OUT THERE for crying out loud to produce a game with the most basic premises in this industry ? Its literally "Jump and ShootMan"

Don't get me wrong. Im fully aware that game making is far from being a cakewalk no matter how simple the game or how big your studio is. My point is: We're talking about the man who is known as the "Father of MegaMan" and he struggles with creating such a game after working on them for 29(!) years...

Can you imagine being so bad at your job ?

For me, it just shows how utterly important all these other people were that worked on them and who never get mentioned or received any form of praise. Its insane.
