Capcom changes the names of Mega Man X5's Mavericks for Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 & 2

Remember when Mega Man X5's localization gave the Mavericks names that were related to Guns N' Roses band members? Turns out Capcom isn't really fond of that idea anymore. The Mavericks are getting a name change in the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2, according to a Capcom rep.

"In our mission to make these collections an authentic Mega Man X experience, we took the opportunity to better align the naming of the Mega Man X5 Mavericks across all regions for better narrative cohesion across the series, making the names more aligned with the original Japanese version release. We hope that fans appreciate our intent to unify the Mega Man X Maverick-naming convention all these years later."
