On the one hand, you can sort of understand the big publisher simply wants to protect its property.

On the other, its a shame to see a fans hard work and dedication to their gaming love go to waste.

Developed by Capcom fan Seow Zong Hui, the game has not only been allowed to launch, but even endorsed by Capcom, with a ruddy big Capcom logo at start-up Its no wonder that the Japanese company is so keen to see its name on this fan project though, as the way in which it playfully mixes the worlds of Mega Man and Street Fighter is delightful.

You control the little blighter, as he blasts his way through Street Fighter inspired retro platforming stages that are just as tight and tricky as the original Mega Man games.

The Street Fighter characters move quickly and precisely, and learning their movements is tough.

They even have a Super bar that builds up as the battle proceeds, and will eventually fire off a Super move in your direction.

Its this sort of attention to detail that makes Street Fighter X Mega Man such a gloriously crafted fan project.

You can tackle levels in whatever order you choose, so working out which bosses have the bets moves to use against other bosses is key.

You even get to train again Street Fighter s Dan whenever you receive a new move.

Whether you enjoy the game all depends on if youre willing to put the time in to perfect your moves.

The controls arent as perfect as the rest of the project, and dont feel tight enough at all, sometimes leading to some frustrating sections where you end up thinking if this was Mega Man 4, I would have dodged that bullet easily.

If youre either a Mega Man or a Street Fighter fan, youre definitely going to want to play this.
