Damn you, Capcom. Why do you tease? This has to be the zillionth time you've advertised a fake game that I'd kill to actually play. Lego Strider, the NES Dark Void port, all just as awesome as (if not more awesome than) your real games.
This one takes the cake though. This is the fake Capcom game I want above all others.
Around the time that Marvel Vs. Capcom was first released, Capcom promoted the game with their Secret File magazine, which included a flier for Rockman V: Confrontation! Dr Marvel!. The fake game's bosses (seen above) include Hadou Man (Ryu), Kumo Man (Spider Man), Taichou Man (Captain Commando), Doku Man (Venom), Sexy Man (Morrigan), Mr. Monami (Gambit) Nagehame Man (Zangeif), Meriken Man (Captain America), Nazo no Ninja Robo (Strider), and Tsume Man (Wolverine). My guess is at the end you battle Dr Marvel (Stan Lee), and kill him with one shot.
With Marvel Vs Capcom 2 back out on PSN/XBLA, I wonder how hard (and how expensive) it would be for Capcom to get the rights to extend the use of those characters a little bit, and make this game a reality. Mega Man 9 was great and all, but if Capcom if going to make another 8bit Mega Man to follow up, they have to really shake things up to keep it interesting.

I'd buy this. Hell, I'm going to print this article and sleep with the printout in my pajamas (one-piece, of course) to prove just how much I adore this idea.
This image is old as hell. I've had it sitting on my HD for years now. I'm pretty sure this was just an ad for the original MvC game, since all of those characters were present, if my memory serves me.
@ YellerDog and Gen Eric- Like I said in the post "Around the time that Marvel Vs. Capcom was first released, Capcom promoted the game with their Secret File magazine, which included a flier for Rockman V: Confrontation! Dr Marvel!"
No need to announce that it is old when I already said that it is old.

This is like seeing a beautiful woman who's out of your league, already married, won't return your phone calls, and has a restraining order against you.

This is beyond a joke. Don't do this to me.
Also, I lol'd hard at Meriken Man.
I want it to become a series. Megaman VS Robot Whatever. Make it happen, Capcom!
Sad to think that Capcom likely will never create such a game. However, I'm willing to forgive them if they release Tatsunoko vs. Capcom 2.
Does anyone more proficient in Japanese have any insight into what the boss names mean? Aside from the obvious Merikan Man, etc.
but Sexy MAN?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
