As announced earlier today on the official Capcom Unity blog, Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune is heading up an entirely new multi-platform take on the Blue Bomber, with details set to be unveiled this weekend at the San Diego Comic Con.
'We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,' said Inafune on the Capcom Unity blog. 'This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they'll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.'
Details are still scarce at this point, but what we do know is that Mega Man Universe is slated to release on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, and more information is set to hit this weekend at the San Diego Comic Con. GameSpot is hosting an incredibly slick stop-motion trailer (viewable on their site or embedded within this news story) that teases plenty of 8-bit Mega Man goodness, as well as a few surprise cameos from famous Capcom faces.

Dave's Take: I'm excited but I'm not getting my hopes up. In this day and age, games are being targeted to kids who are seemingly born with ADHD and a tweeting status updating cellphone attached to their face. This results in the current flood of RTS/MMORPG/FPS/WOW CRAP. So my prediction of this game is as follows: a Mega Man MMORPG that entails a monthly fee, requires internet access to play ala Ubisoft, has trophies you can share on Facebook with the multitude of people that care, has chat capabilities, in-game currency you can buy for actual money that allows you to purchase different "clothes" for your "avatar" such as "Snake Man" and has a weak if not absent story while you play in a chatroom.

If I'm lying I'm flying.
