In celebration of 25 years of Street Fighter and Mega Man, Capcom will release an all-new crossover 8-bit Mega Man game on the PC December 17, Street Fighter X Mega Man. Street Fighter X Mega Man was announced during the 25th Anniversary finals (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/28/street-fighter-25th-anniversary-grand-finals-take-the-stage-dec/) today and pits the blue bomber up against eight popular Street Fighter characters like Blanka, Ryu, Chun Li, Rose, Dhalsim and Rolento.

Mega Man will have access to eight new weapons in this new adventure, a few of which you can see in the trailer above - our favorite is the holographic panels which Mega Man can use to reflect enemy projectiles. Street Fighter X Mega Man will be a free download on the PC when it launches on December 17; you'll be able to download it through Capcom-Unity.

This looks legit extremely awesome. But I can't help but worry Capcom is going to ruin it somehow. If they do ruin it, Capcom would legit be dead to me.

Don't worry, the game wasn't developed by Capcom, but by someone who actually gives a damn about the series, so it won't suck.

[Urzu402]

Yeah I looked more into it. It is a fan made game. But the fact that Capcom is embracing it is an awesome move and somewhat redeems them in my eyes. They could have went the Sega, Squareenix, Nintendo route and C&Ded the game but they're actually releasing it and supporting it.

The screens for the game looked pretty good. Being a fan of both series, it is certainly something I will be checking out.

I had to chuckle at the Street Fighter characters in their 8-bit goodness though!
