Description
Quint's Revenge 1 had an incredibly rushed development time, the initial public release was made in about 6 weeks. One of the results of that was some rushed & sloppy large pixel art. A while back I redesigned the 3 main Wily Stage bosses for fun.
These redesigns might make a cameo here or there in QR2 but there aren't too many plans for them, and I will not be updating QR1 to include them. I kind of despise Multimedia Fusion and never want to develop using it again. Blue Devil shows up in QR2's Intro as a cameo.

Trivia below:

Wily 1: Blue Devil was not the original Wily 1 boss, first draft of that stage included a large Fish Robot called Jonah. I didn't really like it, and it temporarily got shifted to Wood Man's stage as a mid-boss, but was ultimately dropped entirely.

Wily 2: Ice Buster's name is just a rather arbitrary reference to Myth Busters and Jamie Hyneman, who is often joked about on the show as being a Walrus, especially by Adam. This redesign leans into that even heavier and goofier. I think this is my favourite of these redesigns.

Wily 3: Me Gado was based on early Concept art for Wily Machine 1, as shown in the Mega Man Complete Works art book. I gave it eyes, and it became Wily 3's boss. The redesign leans into conventional "retro robot". It's name also reference's Mega Man Revolution's fortress boss, Gaton Me.
