As we previously announced today is the first day of Mega Man’s 25th anniversary and what better way than to download for free Street Fighter x Mega Man.During an interview with Polygon, Capcom’s Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development, Christian Svensson mentioned the possibility of the game being ported to other Operating Systems (Max, Linux, iOS) but said for consoles this wouldn’t be popping up. Below is an excerpt:

“We may look at it on other open platforms,” Svensson told Polygon, with Mac, Linux and iOS “potentially” on the table. “At this time we’re not looking at bringing it to consoles in any form. Obviously certain consoles are not receptive to free content and while people may be willing to pay for it, the act of collecting revenue for this adds extra complexity for us on the legal side.

“The cost of bringing a product like this to consoles, even if we were to charge for it, is not insignificant to say the least,” Svensson said. “It’s a lengthy process and by the time we got it there, by the time we released it, they might not be as interested in paying for it at that time.”

Download the title today, please note that with the massive amounts of people trying to download the title at once, Capcom listed direct links for the US and EU versions of the game.
