Street Fighter X Mega Man coming free to PC

With Street Fighter's 25th year on this small blue marble wrapping up and Mega Man's about to begin, Capcom is celebrating the two with Street Fighter X Mega Man, a fan-made free cross-over game. Or, more accurately, it's wisely choosing not to shut down a fan project as so many publishers would, and supporting the platformatron as a free official release.

With Street Fighter's 25th anniversary wrapping up, and Mega Man's about to begin, Capcom is celebrating the two with Street Fighter X Mega Man, a fan-made free cross-over game. Or, more accurately, it's wisely choosing not to shut down a fan project as so many publishers would, and supporting the platformatron as a free "official" release.

Made by Seow Zong Hui with music from A_Rival, SFXMM is a new Mega Man platformer pitting the jumpy android against Street Fighter characters, stealing their powers like some sort of robovampire. Capcom's offered feedback and approval, but that pair did the heavy lifting.

Street Fighter X Mega Man is coming free to PC on December 17. Check out Capcom's announcement blog post for more, and peep this trailer:

      It really did look like a very ... respectful fan service game. I don't think those are the words I want to use.
      They obviously took loving care in the crafting of this game.

      kind of weird that PC is the platform they release it on but i guess because it's a fan project?

        it would probably have cost them a fotune to get it certified for PSN or XBL

        I don't think "Free" is a price that Microsoft or Sony like to hear for their XBLA/PSN games.

      I'll have to use my adapter to hook this up and play it:

      But these will stay in the box (forever):

      Seriously though...I'll use my NES controller and an adapter to play this thing for sure, as I imagine that would be the best way to play it.
