You know, this might be best in the long run. Most of the time if some one, even the creator of a long established series wants to give it a reboot and change things up, there's going to be a lot of resistance because "it's not the same as the old thing". As a spiritual successor though, Megaman can still continue be the megaman we used to know, and Mighty No.9 can be the megaman Inafune wanted, possibly for a while.
Megaman was the sum of both his work, others work, corporate influence, and technical limitation. It can never be the megaman Inafune may want it to be now, not without gutting the series. Yeah, even the corporate meddling helped create the parts we love of the series.
Mighty No.9 can be megaman without all that stuff, and as a different thing, it doesn't have to have that at all.
