Description
Was going to hold off on this one until I had it colored, but I kept pushing that back, so I figured "screw it."

This image is born of GamePro's review of Mega Man X2, where they top off their description of the game's crisis with "...the Mavericks have captured Mega Man X's old robocanine friend, Zero, who's the perfect bait for a Mega Man trap."

The idea came to me around the time the ill-fated MegaMan Universe was announced. One of my message board buddies mentioned something about the game addressing "U.S. continuity", I asked what that involves other than a name swap, and was treated to a link listing about every misconception, instruction manual inconsistency, rework, and licensed derivative to ever appear in this hemisphere.

Now, one may have varying views on how valid any of that stuff is, but I think we all have to agree that the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Hence, this image. I certainly won't deny that these are fun avenues to explore, but I sincerely doubt that the most infamous of drunken escapades from Capcom would ever result in picking them up again. ...then again, before ZX Advent, we probably all said the same thing about MM1's box cover.

I may yet revisit this image once I get a more competent computer. Waiting for some benefits at work to kick in before I fork over the money.
