Alright, troops, here's the situation. Capcom has put up a poll on its Rockman 20th Anniversary site, asking readers which system they'd like to see the Blue Bomber appear on next. Normally, we'd leave these matters to the general public, but our arch-enemies, the villains at PSP Fanboy, saw fit to invade the ballot, tilting the vote in their favor.
Despite a long-standing peace with our handheld opposites, we will not stand for this aggression. As Americans -- no, as DS owners -- it is our duty to ensure that our portable has a fighting chance to receive every worthwhile title. Also, according to reports from our intelligence sources, we have reason to believe that the next Mega Man game is in possession of LMDs.
Some would reason that the Nintendo DS already has enough Mega Man games, and that the PSP deserves this opportunity to build upon its software library. Well, let's just say that we still haven't gotten over not receiving Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. We assure you, Capcom will greet us as liberators! Check past the post break for instructions on how to cast your vote and win this war!
[Thanks, Marasai!]

You know, you could try to use a more international-friendly browser like Opera or Firefox to take screenshots of Japaneese websites

Internet explorer worked fine. Maybe they'll make a megaman I'd actually want to play for once. Haven't since megaman 6, though, so not expecting much!

If I vote, will they make a real Mega Man game and not some stupid Battle Network game?

DS votes is pretty far behind, and DS's got ZX AND can play Zero
I think, maybe, we should vote for Wii cause it's still doesn't have any rockman fix.
Wii!!!!!
oh, and Wii is leading BTW

@1 The problem is not caused by the browser he is using. The problem is he does not have the asian language pack installed onto his computer. The few non box characters are actually pictures so they display correctly.

Wow that looks ugly, check out how much nicer that page rendered with Safari...on my mac...that comes with japanese language packs on every version of system software, not just a $400 premium version.

Sorry, that was less aimed at you all than the POS Vista Home Premium I have installed on my game PC ;)

fun fact: people with japanese language packs are less inclined to need help with the voting thing, and thus the more common scenario for needing help to vote would be somebody with a lot of boxes. but i don't get how the ds isn't enough help for everybody...

It looks like you can vote as many times as you'd like, just refresh the page and vote again.
Unless, of course, there happens to be someone voting every time I refresh the page and vote again....

I'd like to see a new-gen-handheld version in the original Megaman series...not this half crocked ZX anime BS. I tried to play ZX, and I tried to enjoy it, but the saturday morning cartoon quality cutscenes and braindead, generic anime-inspired story turned me off to the point of turning the game off. Ugh. Bring the blue bomber back! (or at least X.)

if you don't recognize that the blue bomber was super heavily inspired by astroboy in animation and story, you really don't need to be playing.
