Mega Man fans, here is something really cool for you. An unofficial native PC port of the Nintendo 64 Mega Man game, Mega Man 64, has just come out, and you can download it right now.
This unofficial port will let you experience Mega Man 64 on your PC. Right now, the port supports widescreen monitors, as well as high framerates. I don’t know, though, whether there is proper support for keyboard and mouse.
From what I can see, this is a really early release. As such, you may encounter a bunch of bugs and glitches. There are also some known bugs and issues. For instance, there are level geometry seams. There are interpolation issues for some particle effects, and widescreen support is not yet 100% complete. There can also be some desync issues in cut-scenes.
So, consider this a beta release. This isn’t a full/final release. Yes, it will allow you to play the entire game. However, some of you may prefer to wait for a more advanced version.
For those wondering, no. Capcom and Nintendo will not be able to shut it down. This project does not have any in-game assets. As such, there is nothing the big N can do to take it down.
You can go ahead and download this unofficial PC port of Mega Man 64 from this link.
In case you are into projects like these, you can also download the unofficial PC port of Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Crash Team Racing, Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark, Jak & Daxter, Mario Party 4, and Sonic Unleashed.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
