Mega Man games seem to go over better when they stick to their 8-bit roots, but there's no reason why they can't be 8-bit-ish while operating on all three axes. Just take a look at Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch, a game that takes the sprites from the original Mega Man games and pastes them onto a Doom-like engine. It may be a little hard on the eyes for those who prefer the "realistic" look utilized in most FPSs, but I bet Mega Man fans of old would rather play this than Call of Duty.
If Valve could put the official stamp on the fan-created Half-Life mod Counter-Strike and permit it to become a "real" game, I don't see why Capcom couldn't let this title go to WiiWare/PSN/XBLA as a $5 download. I know I'd buy it.

Theres is a blog I posted 5 hours ago where I show the Trailer... LOL... http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/janoDX/megaman-8-bit-deathmatch-kill-with-megaman-163927.phtml
I'd pay retail price for this. No joke. With the opening to the video, I half expected the the Duane and Brand0 song to start playing. The first thought I had seeing the gameplay is how, if they're even in there, Guts Man and Top Man's attacks would work. Metal Blades FTW!
People don't really play Doom any more because there are better games in larger numbers more worthy of our time. I don't think anyone can objectively say that Doom is better in about any way when compared to Modern Warfare 2, Halo, or Half-Life.
i've seen this before, went to the site, and no mac version, of course. so i have to agree with jonathan, please do bring this to wiiware. i would buy this game at first sight, and be glad that i no longer had to suffer with only the conduit to relieve my fps needs.
The 8-bit graphics are kind of hard on the eyes, and seem pretty hectic to follow, but that's something that would just take getting used to. Otherwise, it looks terrific. Thumbs up to whoever made this.
I'm sorry, Jonathan, but that screen is nauseating. I'm not a graphics whore, but that texture pasted over everything makes it look terrible. Would not buy.

FIRST POSTED!!...
Why would that be?
Doom is the shit. This looks like the shit.
I am looking forward to this greatly.
Yea Freeware is FTW, but the game needs to be made in some virtual store...
-Im getting it, seriously...
I want to play it but my PC isn't exactly in prime condition. At this point I'm surprised if it runs anything other than IE and Firefox.
I bet I'm not the only one either.
