I love Mega Man and especially Mega Man X, and here's what I would change:
1) Angled shooting a la Super Metroid
2) Ducking in every game (they put it in for some later X games, yay!)
3) MULTIPLAYER!!!! They have advertised the possibility of two-player MMX games since X5,
and never did it, so for the love of the gods do it already!
4) NO MORE POKEMON-STYLE GAMES. MMZero and MMZX work well, MMBN and Star Force
don't.
5) REMAKE MM2, MM3, and MMX2 and MMX3 in 2.5D.
6) CONCLUDE THE MEGA MAN SERIES AND TIE IT IN TO THE MMX SERIES
Sorry for the all-caps, but I'm EMPHATIC about those (see?)
If anybody is looking for Mega Man games to start out still, Mega Man 2, Mega Man Powered
Up for PSP, and Mega Man Maverick Hunter X for PSP are your best choices.
That is all for now.

Also, fun fact: The manual for the original Mega Man (and even Mega Man 2, I think) lists "down" as "duck".
2-Ducking is equally useless, since he can slide/dash and it serves the exact same purpose.
3-Meh.
5-I'd rather see a new MM game then pay again for one I already own.
6- Why? The X series already tied them together, we know what happens to Light and Wily and everyone else who matters.
2- I wouldn't mind a duck where you can stay still with it, if they base the stages appropriately on the fact that you can now duck, so it has some good uses. But really, not that big of a deal.
3- This one I agree with. I could see a spin off title focusing on multiplayer.
4- Didn't play them, so I don't care. I will say that it always sounds weird to mention a pogeymans-style Megaman.
5- Rather not, really. New games please.
6- Couldn't are less.
I've always looked at the Mega Man games as a single player experience and couldn't picture multiplayer. Are you talking co-op or competitive?
I do agree on remaking some of the older Mega Man games in the style of Powered Up. MMPU was awesome and it was nice to see Inafune's true realization of Mega Man. Tying them together would be nice too. It's a pity that Mega Man has devolved into a Pokemon style game.
@BakaTunaki: So what kind of new games do you want?
Dexter: Part of the point of the series is that Megaman isn't some great big hero, he's a converted lab assistant robot who defeats bigger, stronger battle-designed robots by being brave, strong of will, etc. Him being an "inept hero" is kinda the point.
anyway...
1) Axel sucks.
2) It's lame in ZX that Humans can duck but Robots can't.
3) MMX8 could have expanded on that Tag Team mechanic that it had... but it didn't...
4) I never bought a Battle Network game, so I never had a problem with them... until they decided that Star Force needed 3 versions of the same game, that's just wrong...
5) I'd buy those if they came in Double Packs (2 and 3 together).
6) From what I know of the Mega Man canon, that would be epic for Capcom to do. "This game rated M for Robotic Genocide!"
You can expect the rant version soon.
