MTB: Until only a week or two ago Capcom’s plans for Mega Man‘s 25th anniversary were underwhelming at best. Given the history I have with that little blue robot, I was pretty mad about it. When you have as much history as this franchise does, an IOS game isn’t much of a celebration. I was hoping for disks with all of the games on them or a new game, but Capcom didn’t seem interested in either of them. I’d given up on the whole thing when I heard about Street Fighter X Mega Man.
Have you played Sonic Mania? It’s a neat little game that captures the joy of what it was like to play a console game that wasn’t Mario. It’s truly a love letter to a decent game made by people that really love that game.

Either in movies, TV Shows or comics it doesn’t matter, as long as we see a characters that’s not supposed to be in a universe make a cameo or appearance we get all giddy inside. I think that’s why we loved The Avengers, knowing all those characters from different movies share the same universe is awesome. The Simpsons will crossover with Family Guy this coming Sunday and that’s the first time in a long time I’m looking forward to a new Family Guy episode. Video games are no strangers to this either as there have been a number of crossover titles. Characters showing up in other games or even just easter eggs or cameos, it’s fun to see them let alone have a game based on the concept of a crossover. There have been a lot of these games. Some we’ve never heard of. But regardless here are the Top Ten Video Game Crossovers."
This week on Indie Arcade you’ll see a familiar blue bomber fighting a street fighter (or 8), a spaceship sim, and more!
