Making decisions by yourself on who to hire is hard. It's easier when you have 3,000 people do it for you, which is exactly what happened for this Mega Man Legends voice actress!
The game's studio Capcom had fans vote for their choice to voice in-game heroine Aero — hardly a standard practice — and the winner was Akemi Kanda. The voice actress is no stranger to Capcom titles, lending her pipes to Mega Man X: Command Mission and Mega Man Powered Up. She's also worked on Persona 4, Fatal Frame II and Clannad.
Typically, voice actors and actresses are picked up the game studios, but this time around Capcom opened up that choice to the masses. Makes sense as Kanda will be voicing heroine Aero, whose character design was also selected by, wait for it, the Japanese gaming public!
The eagerly awaited Mega Man Legends 3 is headed to the Nintendo 3DS at an unspecified date.
