Did you know that today is the 25th anniversary of Mega Man? Yup, and Capcom has a whole slew of events for a year starting from now onwards to celebrate the iconic hero in blue. To kickstart the celebrations, Capcom has released a new free Mega Man game for the PC, titled Street Fighter X Mega Man. This game was created by indie dev Seow Zong Hui (a.k.a Sonic) from Singapore, and Capcom, in a true collaboration between a company and its fans, is supporting and publishing the game.
The game stars Mega Man and features eight brand-new Street Fighter-themed levels and bosses inspired by the legendary fighting game series. Each boss character will utilize their individual strategies and special moves against Mega Man, as players attempt to mega blast their way through each uniquely charming 8-bit world.

Throughout the year, Capcom also plans to release the side-scrolling classics Mega Man to Mega Man 6 as downloads for Nintendo 3DS. Beginning December 27 with the original Mega Man, these 8-bit classics will be available in a staggered schedule into 2013. Check Capcom-Unity frequently for updates on the remaining titles as well as information on other Mega Man 25th Anniversary events, including new licensed products available from the Capcom Store in 2013.
