My approach would be diverged reboot that remakes all the parts in Meta Fight that weren't directly remade in Blaster Master Zero; for example, level layouts reused in Zero would be changed up, and the returning bosses would be fought differently, like alter GOEZ's boss fight in a similar way the frog and skeleton bosses were reimagined.
Also, I'd begrudgingly age up Kane and Jennifer a bit. Kane looks older than he's supposed to in Zero 3, and the "teen hero" idea is a bit dated.

Blaster Master: Blasting Again was such a strange game, I have a theory on that.
>BA was initially planned to be a legit Metafight sequel in Japan.
>Sunsoft realizes they should rewrite the game for the west to fit the old BM canon.
>As a cost-saving measure, Sunsoft decides mid-development to make one script so they don't have to worry about regional differences too much and pay voice actors twice (note Jap BA uses Eng voices with subs).
>Older Kane becomes older Jason but they don't want any existing assets to go to waste and scramble with what to do about the older Jennifer they designed.
>Someone (probably from the American branch) chimes in that there is an equivalent usable female character in the BM continuity that they can use in her place.
>Older Jennifer is rewritten as an older Eve.
>By the time younger Eve was designed for BMZero Sunsoft had completely forgotten that she was ever supposed to be a redhead.
No particular evidence of this, just gut feeling.
