   So as they were closing down the booth today, I cornered Norman Evangelista, VP of NEC Interchannel Ltd. in the US. He turned out to be quite a pleasant and knowledgable fellow.
   ...
   As far as the dating sim thing, Evangelista nixed the idea initially. Obviously the market isn't there yet for galget games in English. But of course this is simply because the market truly does not exist here yet. When I told him that Hirameki is bringing a large portion of NEC IC's Japanese published titles to DVD, he said 'let's see how they do'. So the possibility is there, I think. Especially since our conversation immediately wandered to the fact that visual novels of all kinds in japan always make profit. They know their audience, they make the numbers they shoot for, and due to low overhead, they're basically printing money, though the stakes are low.
   
   All in all, I'm very pleased with the direction that NEC Interchannel is moving in the US. Evangelista is by far the most knowledgable fellow I came across this E3. Never have I met someone from a US branch that so understood the intentions of, and knew the history of the Japanese parent company. It was very encouraging. As an aside, Ys is one of his favorite games so ... he has that going for him as well.
   
   Further, he seems very receptive to ideas from the community and the fanbase.
