Oh god, I would play this game for this screenshot alone. Please, please let there be video out there.
Also, it kinda looks like he's giving that lazer a blowjob.... but hey, whatever floats his boat.

Wiki says he wasn't the creator of Mega Man.

"best known as the illustrator and co-designer of the character Mega Man"
"Keiji was directed to be one of the leading artists to the new project."
"When it came to the design for the Rockman game Keiji developed all the character art and designs. "
"the majority of [NES colors] were blue-tinted. Keiji noted that this affected the decision to colour the character blue"
So he co-designed it, did all the artwork and other designs, and had the most impact on the final game, but didn't "create it"?

@sonicspike41 I completely remodeled my house, on my own. It's almost unrecognizable to anyone not familiar with its original design. Did I create my house?
No, I didn't create my house. I just refined its look. Keiji Inafune did the same thing with Rockman, he has even stated as such on multiple occasions, and denies his title as the 'creator of Rockman'. He's been there virtually from the start, influencing the look of the characters and game world, as well as the design of the game itself. But he didn't create him/it. He deserves a lot of credit, but he'll be the first to welcome gaming media not to misattribute the creation of Rockman to him.

A child's drawing was the original creation, Kenji brought it to life.

@Epoque
If you completely redesign your house so much so that it's original design is unrecognizable, or so much so that it's basically an entirely new house, yes you'd be the creator (or at least the creator of the current design of your house).
Apparently he co-designed the character, so I'd call him co-creator, which is still creator. As for him denying it, he could just be being modest. Who knows exactly? He certainly played a huge role in Mega Man's earliest days, which could be seen as a creative/creator role.

It's still not the same thing. He did not create the concept or the plot of it either and is not credited as such by any Japanese magazine or source - that is a fact.

That second screenshot looks like a bad Photoshop and therefore, totally awesome. I hope that's actually in the game.

Unfortunately, the Keiji Inafune Sword will leave your inventory after 23 levels to start it's own game.

That second image is far more disturbing. He has something down there, SHINING (and the girl holds it).

I see a dude spitting hot fire and I immediately think of Dylan from MTV's Making the Band.

The name of the attack (top of the image) seems to be "Donna Handan Da - Nova," which translates to "What Kind of Judgement - Nova." The bit before "nova" seems to have been a controversial quote (possibly then a meme) by Inafune at a Capcom meeting, followed by asking whether the intention is to throw money into the gutter. Neptunia continues its game industry in-jokes. :)
The summoning part, in the second image, seems to be called "Creator Sword ??," where the "??" are two kanji I can't make out.
