There must be something in the later Mega Man games that could be used for an HD reboot. Mobile game "The Puzzle Battle" has some cute redrawn Mega Man 1 sprites .... no idea where to get that game, mind ...
Yes, if the game has sequels on later systems or the game has root in the arcade then I'm sure there will be some artwork which can be useful. And if the game does not have too many designs unique to the series then we can use art from other games too.

On the subject of swapping out backgrounds. I recently picked up NES Remix for Wii U, and many stages in this game do exactly what I previously described, essentially Chroma Keying out backgrounds. The following video should start at 4:00 in, and you can see that not only has the background been swapped out, but the foreground casts a shadow onto it as well.

Very interesting videos. If the emulator can output the game graphics directly on top of the desktop then we can put anything we want under it.
