Just announced by Capcom: Street Fighter X Mega Man announced - free Mega Man cross over game available on December 17 Apparently, it's a fan mad Mega Man mod. Sadly, it's PC only
Huh. That was unexpected. >Street Fighter >Mega Man >8-bit goodness >FREE I think I'm leaning toward awesome.
As much as I like a new Mega Man game (and I'm glad Capcom's doing so), I'll wait until this hits consoles. If not, then oh well.
I think this is pretty cool. I love the Mega Man series and I do like Street Fighter. I hope Dan is a hidden midboss.
It's a standalone game, not a mod. I don't really understand this reasoning. It's a full length Megaman game for free. Why pass up a free game just because it's not on a console? He better be.
At first I was confused, cuz Capcom hasn't really been handling Mega Man all too well lately. Then I saw that it was actually a fan-made game, and everything made sense. I'll be playing it. Not exactly a Street Fighter expert, but I loves me some Mega Man.
When I saw the title, I figured it was going to be more of a Street Fighter game. I was pleasantly surprised.
Well wadaya know? The possibilty of this hitting consoles does exist! The Mega Man Network » Capcom Opens Up to IGN About SFxMM and the Blue Bomber’s Future To quote: "The selection of the PC as the distribution platform was fairly simple considering Zong Hui was not a licensed console developer. The implications and costs associated with attempting to arrange that would be incredibly steep, and Capcom was eager to keep this project free for fans. Svensson admits that it might be possible to release the game on other open platforms, but focusing on just one was necessary to make the December 17 launch" This doesn't do the 25th Anniversary justice, but hey--it's a start, and I love me some crossovers. Here's hoping to better days.
