Yes it's a departure from the Mega Man games. This was made in the early 90s around the Mega Man 4/5 development and release. Which meant that probably they had up to 3 as official reference and maybe some tidbits from 4 and 5.
Back then the story was literally: Wily made 8 robot masters, go and defeat them, Mega Man.
It also suffered from Westernization like Silly plots , incredibly awkward deviations from the source material and yes,they oversimplified Mega Man's Copy ability. But compared to OTHER VIDEOGAME CARTOONS OF THE ERA like
Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Double Dragon, to name a few; Mega Man WAS THE MOST FAITHFUL ONE OF ALL. Corny, but it still kept close enough to the source material that it still FEELS like in this case, Mega Man.
Also, to the fool, who said that they hired unprofessional voice actors, check WHO DOES VOICES HERE AND THEIR Careers... Ian James Corlett, Scott McNeill, Terry Klassen, Cary Chalk (who also works on the new Mega Man... Whoops!) Most of the cast are VETERAN Voice Actors. People who had 20 years in the business BEFORE doing Mega Man ARE NOT UNPROFESSIONAL.
It's not perfect, but it's WAY Better than the 2018 one.
