Definitely. The idea of Wily travelling through time to bring back an improved version of Mega Man from the future to destroy his past self was cool, but the way they did it was disappointing. Like, Quint in his Mega Man II form was literally just like a badly-done fan OC who fought you with a Pogo Stick.

To be fair though, a later attempt at something similar with Rockman Shadow, from the obscure title Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha (Mega Man & Bass: Challenger From The Future) on the Bandai Wonderswan was quite cool. That one was similar (Powerful robot hailing from the future, wears green, has visor and Quick Man headpiece), but he had much more varied abilities (Including an arm cannon, laser sword and sliding, as well a drill-like machine similar to Sakugarne) and a fairly unique backstory for what he was. Interesting thing is, he does actually mention Quint in his final speeches, so they're apparently either two separate guys despite the similarities, or he's Quint after having remodelled himself.

But yup, I was quite pleasantly surprised with the fan-game myself actually, especially with all the new features and the remixed versions of the original music. Like, I thought it was good and very Mega Man-like originally (I especially liked Metal Man's new theme), but it was ruined by the poor choice of instruments and tendency to go way, way too high-pitched, so it's good to see some remakes that do them justice.
