I wouldn't rule it out altogether. As anime becomes more mainstream in the
States it's possible we could start to see some of these titles in the
future. Some companies are experimenting with importing some titles that
have traditionally been considered unappealing to western gamers. Princess
Maker is available here in the States and the ever popular Graduation was
recently made available from the folks at Mixx Entertainment (who put out
the MixxZine manga anthology here in the States). Depending on how well
some of these experiments do will probably determine how likely we are to
see more of the lesser considered titles being brought over.
