New Fan-Made Mega Man Game - Need New Spriter to Help!

Copyright laws! Technically, Capcom can jump in any time they want, file a C&D and demand the project to be stopped.
I don't know how likely Capcom would be to do it, but Square Enix wasn't happy about a Chrono Trigger fan game
Of course, you could always hope that they don't mind.

This has been a concern and we are taking actions to help prevent the possibility of this and be able to keep our name on things that we have developed. The engine itself, along with all original sprites created by our development team will be packaged separately from any label of Mega Man or Capcom. It will be essentially an NES-like platform game engine that functions similar to Mega Man but contains no copyrighted materials. This is all fair use. To make the game a Mega Man fan-game, would require "someone" to make a graphics pack that would contain the proprietary material and any references to Mega Man, such as cut-scenes, Title screen, etc. We would have no control over someone creating such a graphics pack

Furthermore, this thread and the post by Sven states that Capcom, although it does not directly support fan games, will most likely not take action against any. This has been a recurring statement by Capcom and it's employees.

However, if you'd put it on the Android Play Store, you should have a written permission at hand or else they could take it down for copyright infringement without Capcom saying a word.

We would never put it in the Android Play Store. As I mentioned before, Android is not a directly supported Operating System and there will not be an official Android version of the game made. This is the same for Wii and Ouya. Although they are not ports of the game and will run native on the consoles, they will not be released as official Wii titles or in the Ouya store. We do plan to make an Android version for personal use. If that get's leaked we would never endorse it
