With Capcom seemingly uninterested in making Mega Man great again, it's up to fans to show the Japanese company the way forward.

Enter Mega Man 2.5D, a fan-made Mega Man game eight years in the making.

Mega Man 2.5D is out now and you can download it from the website of chief creator Peter Sjöstrand. Give it a shot before Capcom sends in the lawyers.
