So I guess that what you are saying is possible, maybe Nintendo doesn't really need it at the moment (maybe because wii U is the only next generation console in the near future or because they are saving big announcements for when the other consoles are released or rival companies's games are announced) or because Megaman is really expensive to make, It'd be as expensive as making an HD zelda, even more, and let's face it Megaman's image has been damage over the years by a lot and Legends 2 was only released on Ps One and that was 12 years ago. Now, If they plan to do a reboot of the original Megaman (the Good 2D one), I'd totally buy it and I think Capcom would agree on that.
The problem with the Wii U is that it is not out yet and people is already pessimist about it by beliefs like"There will be no 3rd party good games" and "it will be totally overshadowed once the PS4 and 720 come out" and "The Wii is a console for kids and casual gaming, nothing more". There are some examples in this thread. Like someone else said here before, its unlikely Nintendo can repeat the same success they had with the Wii just betting on the same formula.
If Nintendo wants The Wii U to lasts as long as the next new generation of consoles they need more than a new Zelda and Metroid (because these NSMB games are already boring) or innovative gameplay. The exact thing they need is 3rd party commitment to their console, be it with exclusive games or just sharing their (good)tittles with them. Maybe they can't win that over by just proving their console to be as capable as the others because of all the pessimism, and thats where reanimating old franchises proven to be a success, like they just did with Bayonetta, can be their best choice. Even if the games suck, players will want to play them.Imagine an new exclusive Chrono Trigger for the Wii U, or Killer instinct or... IDK you put the name, I just want Megaman.
As for a 2D Megaman remake, it already exists. Its called Megaman 9/10.
