I just pray more companies follow Capcom's lead.
I don't wanna throw down 250 dollars for a portable for a couple of games from one company, and then have the well dry up. Hopefully, the support keeps up for many years to come. I want a library of over 40 PSP games!

Well, you have to realize that this is the kinda thing that Capcom does and has done for a long time. They're a japanese company that tends to root for the japanese underdog (until it looses them too much money, anyway)
First it was the Dreamcast, then it was the Gamecube, now it is the PSP. I'd imagine you'll see NDS ports in a years time. If anything, the stockholders will demand it.
Megaman is one of my favorite franchises and I'm very happy to see remakes that actually try to do things somewhat differently. Both Irregular Hunter X and Rockman Rockman will be mine.
On another note, I'd love to see the existing Megaman collection ported over to either the DS or the PSP as I'd like to play the original versions as well.

You don't need to upgrade your firmware to play new games. Just get fastloader and you're good to go.
I got Bleach Heat The Soul 2 last week, which requires a 1.52 update, and with fastloader, I could skip the update and the load the UMD disc up by going through fastloader first. Works great.

So if this is right, Capcom is porting MMX1 to a system with disc storage capacity similar to Gamecube, with MMX Collection about to be released? Holy ripoff, Batman. I know they'd have to adjust the games for the PSP's screen dimensions, but still.

Just like I thought! I thought it was odd to remake X1, and apparently so did Capcom. Seriously, the game doesn't need a remake. Throw in a few new modes, bosses, missions, and music remixes, and I'm set. Though, A rockman X port for the PSP? It has to have SOME upgrades. I don't see anybody paying full price for a SNES port on PS2(ish) hardware.

Let me rephrase for your touchy ass.
Oh, another non-new, albeit slightly rearranged Megaman title. And we are excited why? Oh it's on the PSP.
Honestly, if they are redoing the graphics in this new 2.5d engine, why not create a new MM game for PSP? We've seen enough versions of the same old MM games already. A new game would be something to get excited over IMO. Capcom walks the finest line between ports and remakes.
A straight port will not do.C- Warrior

When it comes to Megaman, the games are pratically just revamped versions of the last game anyway, and X1 had some of the best bosses, levels and weapons of the series, its a good bit likely this remake could be better then a considerable amount of the X series as long as it gets a few improvements.
I agree that new titles are usually more interesting then remakes, but when it comes to megaman, which is just a recycling series anyway, and especially the tired X series, a remake is probably better then a sequal.

Don't put words in my mouth. I'm bashing this because it's yet another version of an old MM game. Even if the new GnG PSP game was a revamp I wouldn't give it the same hate because it hasn't been milked so much in recent years. I'm sick of 5 versions of the same MM Battle Network as well. I think this would be a golden opportunity for Capcom to make a new MM game in 2.5D not a damn revamp. A lack of good 2D games on PSP doesn't mean we have to just automatically drool over some half-baked attempt. So shove it.
People aren't necessarily drooling over it because it's PSP either. The original MMX game is quite beloved, so the thought of remake was very exciting to many people. However, it's turned out to be a port. If you notice, the excitement has gone down after that...

Well that is certainly an interesting design for MegaMan.
