I don't mind some of the new voices, but Amy's, Gamma's and Cream's make me want to do terrible things to my ears.
On the subject of 4kids themselves: I hated them for not releasing uncut versions of anything on DVD, but bankruptcy? ...Karma?

Also, would it be worth starting a thread about Megaman hoaxes throughout the years (not including our own)? Because I have nothing to contribute...

I figured RS-X would be a challenge, given that he's utterly stone-faced. Perhaps the "Irritated" one is his reaction to the thousandth person in a row being freaked out by his height.

I've been playing too much Oracle of Seasons/Link's Awakening. In a fit of Zelda-mania, I drew a bunch of different Links, some new, some old.
Gates of the Realm: A boy living in a town without women, Link, becomes friends with Prince Zellos (yes...) after fleeing it with several other boys. While life in the Castle town is fine, Link is suspicious about a man who wanders around it, muttering something about a gate. One day, he enters the Castle only to find that the prince is missing... (Time frame: before ALttP)
Reigns of Sorrow: Two children wash up on Hyrule shores; one of them is given to Luigi to raise. This child, Link IX, seemingly has no large part in the grand scheme of things--yet soon enough, he, his friends, and his guardian are pulled into incident after incident that indicate that this is not the case. And there's the question of where he and the other child, Zelda XI, came from... (Time frame: 2016-2021)
Extensions of the Mad King: Reports of a powerful wizard making Hylians his mind-controlled slaves have become more and more frequent, but Prince Zellos laughs them off as a simple man gaining followers for a religion. So does, Link, a young country girl--until people from a nearby town begin bearing the characteristic markings of the wizard's control. Fearful of her own kin falling victim, she runs away to warn the prince, only to be informed that he's left for America on political matters. Link is about to return home when she sees Zellos about to leave and gets a good look at him... (Time frame: AU)
True Fist of the Herd (dream-based title; don't ask me what it actually means. I don't know): No names inspire more hatred throughout Hyrule than Ganondorf, King of Thieves; he and his merry men have stolen from every temple and dungeon in the land, save for the ultimate target: Castle Hyrule itself. One of his men, Link, even has a bag that will store a physically impossible amount of items though space distortion. On their way to the Castle, the thieves are "greeted" by a hulking giant with alien bodily markings. Link's attempt to damage it fails, and he is subsequently flung far away, into the ocean. Something prevented his death upon impact with the waters... (Time frame: AU)
Valley of the Flood: Because no one has been strong enough to oppose him, Ganon has been able to more or less conquer Hyrule--at the loss of his inhibitions and reason. One boy has deluded himself into believing that he is the Hero of Time that never appeared, and sets off to find and ultimately slay Ganon. (NOTE: There's already a story written for VotF; google it, and you should find that fake interview) (Time frame: The hoax implies that it's before The Wind Waker, but I'm filing it under AU)
The Holy Planet: This Link is still a Hylian, but his parents moved to France when he was too young to remember. They are followers of a sect/cult called The Holy Planet, and worship a distant planet called Zosime, believed to have ties with the Hylian Triforce. Holy Planet's dream is to visit it, and through the efforts of the head of the sect, it is realized. The journey and landing go well enough, but before long, most of the people (including the sect head and Link's father) are taken away by shadowy, frightening beings. Worse, the Zosimians are very aware that Holy Planet reveres them as gods, and more than a few take advantage of this. Tiring of the chaos and worried about his father and fellow worshipers, Link finds a sword and goes off to locate them. (Time frame: Early 1980s. And I need a better name for the cult)
Zelda's Legend: More or less already written about in "Odds and Ends". (Time frame: After WWII, before Zelda 1)
Bride of Melancholy: The locals are surprised to see Castle Hyrule guards dragging the librarian away, with her assistant trying and failing to stop them. She's actually Princess Zelda, who had run away and taken the job at the library several months prior. While she was fine with Castle life, there was something about the King, whom she had no blood relation to, that put her off. Her assistant, Link, is determined to figure out what's going on, but his lack of combat experience is going to make that tough; the King has ordered him killed on sight.
That last guy was just a throw-in; he's not actually Link, but posing as him to distract [insert evil person here] long enough for the real Link to do...something.
WHY DID THIS TAKE THREE HOURS TO WRITE
* EotMK Link ended up looking like ~Hyliaman's design for femme-Link. Arg. Sorry, man.
* TFotH Link was based on OoT Link; it's actually an old idea of mine, and he used to look exactly like OoT Link, albeit with longer hair.
* I couldn't remember the description for VotF. so "Link" ended up a skinny shrimp instead of the more built "Link". I was more focused on making him look like someone who only thinks he's the Hero of Time.

I had a feeling you'd say something along those lines.
Muse time, because this isn't really fit for a new topic (too personal) or a dA journal:
For the longest time, I've been wondering why so many fans of Classic Mega treat the cartoon as if it's Azathoth about to devour the game canon. The two are so obviously different; it felt like purist whining/confusion to me. Now that I've thought about it, though, maybe I'M the one who's confused.
Flash back to 2000 or so. My first exposure to Sonic the Hedgehog (real exposure, not just seeing his visage in a store sign) was the near-universally loathed Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. I watched it and soon became a fan of the character and his friends and enemies. A while later, I got the Sonic 3 and Knuckles pack for PC. The setting was different from the cartoon, but I was cool with that.
What confused me was Robotnik. In AoStH, he had a very distinct design and personality, one I had grown used to. In the game...he had that same hover-vehicle (more or less), but he looked different. I didn't get it, but I fought him anyway.
Come middle school, I finally have access to this strange thing called "the Internet". There's actually MANY Robotniks (and Sonics and Tails), each for a different facet of the Sonic mythos. As I read about each facet, I learn that they're all split off from the main source (the games) and have many unique aspects (such as SatAM's crapsack world, AoStH's lunacy, SU's slight less crapsack world, etc.). I'm perfectly cool with, and interested by, this.
TL;DR: I grew up believing that if there's a third-party production of something that deviates from the source material, it is a canon unto itself.
So far, so good. After Sonic and DBZ (timeline headaches for the win), I enter the Megaman fandom. Turns out there's lots of third-party stuff for it, too. I find out more about the cartoon--and apparently, almost no one likes it. I did, and infuriatingly, most of the complaints can be traced back to "It doesn't follow the canon of the games."
"What the hell", I think. "The cartoon, while based on the Classic games, clearly isn't part of their canon and should not be taken as such. What's the big deal about it not following the canon?"
Now that I've thought about it, maybe it's because I'm used to third-party deviance, while the ones that complain about RS-MM in that manner aren't (or simply don't like it; I can't say). Either way, petty purist whining is [tornado fang]ing annoying.

*LINK TRAPS RPM IN THE BOOK OF KORIDAI
I could make that game in Zelda Classic, but I'm not about to pull a Superjustinbros and get all excited about something I'm not good at (programming). >.>
Quote
I always wanted to make one of those Oracle circles.
FAKE MANUAL EXPOSITION TIME
Link stared into the horizon of the sea, paying no mind to the chatter of his companions. Farore, a well-known Hylian author, had requested that he, Impa, and a visitor to Hyrule named Megaman accompany her on her trip. They were headed for Obscura, a country located due west of Hyrule.
There was no dock, so Farore and her crew had to wade through the tide. As they left the beach, they realized that there were no roads either, leaving them little choice but to walk through the forest.
"I don't see how this place is 'inspiring'," Megaman said as they came to a clearing. Farore simply laughed and said that they hadn't reached the best parts of Obscura yet, but something about the way she said it was...off.
Almost immediately after this exchange, a cloaked figure emerged from the bushes. He greeted them politely, then added, "We don't get many visitors. Are you from Hyrule?" Link and Farore nodded, then pointed out that Megaman was not a Hylian.
The figure fell silent, keeping his gaze locked on Farore and the book she held to her chest. Without warning, he flung off his cloak, revealing a horrible stone mask and black robes bearing the mark of the Gerudo. "Oracle of Secrets!" he roared, brandishing two swords. "Neither you nor your entourage will live to oppose me!"
As Farore dodged the man's swords, Link drew his own and tried to land a hit. Splitting his attention between the Oracle and Link proved too difficult; reaching into his robes, he withdrew a Gale Seed and threw it at Link. Farore grabbed Link and pulled him away, but it wasn't quickly enough to dodge the seed; they were literally blown out of the clearing, leaving Megaman and Impa to contend with their attacker on their own...
This man was King Zant, the ruler of Obscura for almost twenty years. Why he wanted the Oracle dead is for Link to find out.
The pic itself took about two days--by the time I'd finished the previous pic, it was too late to start this. Colouring took about three hours, and ended up looking nowhere near as authentic as I'd hoped--but given what I had to work with (PS Elements as opposed to regular PS), I can say I'm proud of it.
Those two symbols represent the incantations Link has to use to break down Zant's barriers and rearrangement of the landscape--they were what Farore went to Obscura to complete.

Quote
Alas, Link can't trap Ganon in Farore's Memory.
I decided to take a shot at how Link would appear on the Oracle of Secrets cover (which, like the CD-i games, only exists in a dimension "eaten by Azathoth"). Not as action-oriented as Ages and Seasons...but it's a goddamn book. I doubt Link is in any hurry to start smacking Octorocks with his only chance of traversing the entirety of Obscura.

I didn't like drawing boys back then. Consequently, all my men now look like women. Aaaarararagh.
