It's been almost a year, and the unexpected failure of Mighty No. 9 is still fresh in our minds.

Clearly this game didn't become the spiritual successor to Mega Man like Inafune touted it as.

So what game would you say DID become Mega Man's spiritual successor (Assuming Capcom is still too lazy to give us new Mega Man games)? Shovel Knight? The Legend of Dark Witch? Azure Strike Gunvolt? Or maybe another game similar enough to Mega Man that I don't know of but is very good?

Shovelknight is really more akin to Mario and Zelda II with some extra rpg elements thrown in.

I haven't really played many games that remind me of megaman recently... I'd say AVGN's two games certainly modeled their controls and the gameplay itself after megaman, but the level design and such didn't live up to the old franchise.
