That fan isn’t me, but rather Singapore’s Seow Zong Hui, who approached Senior Vice President of Capcom USA Christian Svensson with the idea during EVO 2012. Seems it left an impression, considering this perfect celebration of Capcom’s most culturally influential games is totally happening. According to Capcom Unity, the game will be available—for free—as a PC download December 17. In addition to its 8-bit Street Fighter/Mega Man mashup appeal, the game will also feature a soundtrack by hip-hop/electronic rapper/noted video game enthusiast A_Rival.

Bosses/stages include:

Ryu
Chun-Li
Blanka
Rolento
Dhalsim
Rose
Urien
Crimson Viper

Here’s a trailer:

Chris Holzworth has wanted to report on and critique games all his life. He first cut his teeth writing for enthusiast sites such as RPGFan, then took a break from gaming to study English, creative writing, and linguistics at Rutgers University. Started out as EGM's obligatory east coast correspondent before selling out and moving to the west coast. Chris is particularly keen on examining narrative structure, character development, and writing in video games. Frequently opens mouth, inserts foot, often where twittery things happen: @chrisholzworth. Meet the rest of the crew.
