Street Fighter X Megaman announced... and it's Free!

This year marks the 25th anniversary of two franchises I'm proud to have played and enjoyed through my life as a gamer - namely Capcom's own Street Fighter and Megaman franchises! The World Warrior brawling series just capped their hyper fighting game series' celebration by unleashing the greatest fighters from around the world in a "Street Fighter 25th Anniversary" tournament, which recently held its finals yesterday with winners taking home trophies, cash, and big prizes!

To commemorate the occasion and simultaneously acknowledge the Blue Bomber's 25th anniversary, Capcom has announced a new game the pits both franchises together in a set up that carries a retro and old school flavor... STREET FIGHTER X MEGAMAN!

The FREE game, to be released this coming December 17, pits everyone's favorite blue hero against legends from the SF roster in old school side-scrolling Megaman action! Check out this awesome trailer that pays tribute to the 80's era of nostalgia and adds a new awesome flavor to things!
