Street Fighter x Mega Man

It started as a fan project, but Capcom decided that what the hell, that'll be our 25 anniversary gift to fans and allowed the download on their site. If I understand correctly, it'll only be available on 12/17/12.

Plays in the style of old school Mega Man, but the bosses you face are Street Fighter characters. You get their powers after each level.

I'm not so thrilled on this.

On the one hand it's great seeing the a developer support this. On the other hand, it also shows just how low Capcom has sunk by "giving" the Mega Man Fanbase for the 25th anniversary a crappy iPhone game and saying "We won't sue the fan made game creators for millions of dollars."

Given what they've been doing to the MM franchise as of late (see also cancelling MML3 and MMUniverse as well as the Mega Man character in SFxTekken) it just reads to me as "There we threw you a bone. Happy now?"

Should I decide to download it, it will be a through a torrent just so I won't give Capcom any numbers to go by.

I love it. I'm just far too rusty with the Mega Man games.
