もしもぼくが続編を作らせてもらえるとしたらどれがいいですか…? If II can make a sequel, which one do you want to see?

At the moment of this writing, Okami and Wonder Blue are leading the polls, and not by a small margin, and Kamiya-san provided some comments.
途中経過だけど大神すごいなぁ…でもジョーの意外な健闘がうれしいぜ…

“Amazing that Okami is over half, but happy to see Joe putting up a surprisingly good fight.”
なぜワンダブルーのスピンオフがあんなに延びてるんだろう…いったいどんなゲーム想像してるんだ…

“I wonder why Wonder Blue is so much in the lead… Just what kind of game could it be…”
While the polls’ results are quite interesting, you probably shouldn’t take them as a firm expression of an intention to actually make those games.
Kamiya-san is well known for his jests, and he might be simply gauging which ones of his games and characters his fans love the most.
That said, if you want to let him know, all you have to do is to vote.
