Actually, since Bass is Forte in Japan, the pronounciation of the America-only name by the American version IS canon. Treble is Gospel in Japan.
I hadn't heard anything like that ABF, but Roll was even in Megaman 1. She's right there with Dr. Light when you beat the game and Megaman returns home (walking the whole way, must have forgotten he could teleport again...).
As far as the look of the newer ones, sorry, I just don't see it. I like the updated looks of those games.
Bass being "base" for the musical sense never made any sense anyway. I mean, why not SPELL it that way too? There's already a word that's spelled like that AND said like that, the normal word "base", and it's MEANING, the base of a platform or something, actually RELATES to the musical term in a way! Why did they have to spell it in a way where the only other word has NOTHING in common and is pronounced in a totally different way? It's stupid!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
