I'm still hoping for a new Mega Man X title with 16-Bit style graphics. I'm hoping for something like that ever since Mega Man 9 was announced. =/

 The team decided that striving for an extended sense of nostalgia seemed a bit off from what gamers were looking for, and decided to use new graphics to show that not only is Mega Man back, but also improved.^[2][4]

^{I'm sure it will be the same for X as well, not to mention brand new designs for X,Zero and Axel already shown and 16bit would do them no justice.}
