the speculation about Funimation buying out ADV is incorrect. ADV's former Japanese partner decided a year or so ago to partner with Funimation instead, taking a large chunk of ADV's catalog with them. sure to the casual bystander it looks like Funi is creating a monopoly, and losing Gurren Lagann was a huge blow to ADV, but ADV is still its own company and is still running. it has a new partner, and they're releasing new titles slowly but surely, as well as aquiring a couple abandoned Geneon licenses such as Mahoromatic and The Anime Called "Tsukihime."
concerning the mystery game, it's possible that a Mega Man title could still show up on any of the current gen consoles. perhaps MM9 doesn't rule out a retail Classic game. another X or Ryuusei game is certainly possible. Dash 3 might not appear on the Wii considering Trigger is in TatsuCap. which is a shame, cause the RE4Wii controls would work great for Legends.
however, i'm pretty sure it won't be a Mega Man game. Viewtiful Joe i don't see getting a comeback either. and there's no way MvC3 can happen until the Marvel license is back up for grabs. my guess is that the mystery game is an Onimusha title. i personally haven't been waiting for it. i just don't give a damn about the series. but i'm sure some people want to see it.
