Yeah, I like the idea of MM9. But if we think about it, it's not supposed to bridge the gap between it and X. Parts 1-8 and MM&B never did link one after the other. They're like different stories for different games, which made Megaman pretty cool. It'd be pretty difficult to try and come up with one huge plot that turns Megaman's world into X's. Which is drastically contrasting, in my opinion, because X is so much edgier.
It's kind of like Legend of Zelda- You've got different incarnations of Link. So you've got different stories.
You've got different incarnations of Megaman.. You've got different stories, too! (X, Legends, EXE....)
