Celebrate Mega Man’s 25th Anniversary With Street Fighter X Mega Man
Fans of the Blue Bomber haven’t had the best luck lately. With Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe getting canceled, and a lazy mash-up game called Mega Man Xover being released on iOS, the fans need some loving. Capcom is finally throwing them a bone by not only allowing but assisting in a fan-made PC game called Street Fighter X Mega Man, where Mega Man fights through new levels to battle 8-bit versions of Street Fighter characters.
You can download Street Fighter X Mega Man for free on Capcom Unity, but if you’re looking for more, Capcom announced that Mega Man 1-6 will be put on the 3DS eShop (separately, of course). The first Mega Man will be available on December 27, with Mega Man 2 following on February 7, 2013. The rest of the games will be rereleased periodically through 2013.
It’s not quite a new, official game, but at least it’s something for a very loyal fanbase.
