Mega Man and Street Fighter fans alike, rejoice! In celebration of Mega Man’s 25th birthday (many of those who enjoyed the game franchise as a child now woefully feeling old), Capcom-Unity recently announced Street Fighter X Mega Man, an 8-bit freeware game à la Mega Man that will be released on December 17.
The game comes right after Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary, which is just a bit earlier than Mega Man’s big 25. The game includes 8 new bosses as well as 8 new weapons, not to mention your favorite Street Fighters all in 8-bit Mega Man graphics, which are known to be used as a template for beginner pixel-artists to edit off of using MS Paint.
We’ll be sure to remind you when the game is released.
