Weren't there trailers for both during the Game Awards? Seems a pretty big confirmation:

MegaMan L E G E N D S
God fuckin damnit!
- I would just take anything Megaman at this point. The series has been dormant for ages.
  
  At least you got Mighty #9 plus mega man 11 in the last 10 years.
Where's that breath of fire at
Power Stone!
Don't mind me, I'll be sitting here waiting patiently for my Destiny of an Emperor remake.
Viewtiful Joe is definitely one that should get the treatment
"Reactivating dormant IP" aka "Milking old franchises", because it's cheaper and safer than coming up with innovative stuff.
- Kunitsu-Gami was this year. Like it or not, Exoprimal was last year. And Capcom's got a ton of IP that would work really well in the modern era and/or deserve compatibility with modern x64 hardware. I'd personally love to see Viewtiful Joe and Darkstalkers come back.
- Innovation for the sake of innovation isn't it either, chief. You gotta strike a balance between new and familiar.
