I think most people assumed Inafune was the mastermind behind MM. The only names that should be in the description are the makers of Metriod Prime, not their well-known producer's. Recore, another game game Inafune is producing, says "from the legendary minds of Keji Inafune, and the creators of metriod prime" in the beginning of the game's description off of the xbox website (source: ). It seemed like Inafune never really knew Mega Man from a gameplay standpoint, and MN9 shows this.

Inafune was always a character designer and producer of the Mega Man series, never directed a single game. Keji Inafune didn't create Mega Man, that was Akira Kitamura (also known as A.K. Only an egomaniac would take inspiration from themselves. Basically that means it was supposed to be Megaman without the trademarks and copyrights.
