Japanese developers aim at Canadian App Store

Japanese social game developers go abroad recently. However, everybody releases game application in Canadian App Store. These are game application made in Japan released in Canadian App Store by the end of August.

DRAGON COLLECTION - KONAMI

Lord of the Dragons - KLab

Gangsta - Drecom

Montopia - Zynga Japan

Of course all these support English. However, these are not released in U.S and are all Canada. Why?

They may regard Canada as the test bed of the North America market. It is difficult for Japanese game application for smartphones to succeed in North America market. It is not made good even in GREE either. So, they will test it in Canada before starting in earnest.
