Street Fighter X Mega Man unites the Blue Bomber with Ryu, Chun Li, Blanka and more on Dec. 17

Capcom is bringing Mega Man back ... but not how you expected it. They are releasing Street Fighter X Mega Man on Dec. 17, a free fan-made crossover game of the company's two iconic franchises. It will be available for download at www.Capcom-Unity.com. Street Fighter is currently celebrating 25 years while Mega Man will do so in 2013.

Watching the trailer, the game looks fun and has all that classic 8-bit goodness. Eight bosses featuring original Street Fighter characters like Ryu, Chun Li and Blanka will have unique moves and strategies, just like in other Mega Man games. I'll definitely try it out. It's free after all.

Still, this is a fan-made game. What I would really like to see is the revival of Mega Man Legends 3, which was disappointingly canceled for the 3DS last year. How about we celebrate 25 years of Mega Man next year with the release of that game, Capcom? Pretty please?
