According to an article on Cnet, more Japanese mobile game developers want to develop games for the Apple iPhone according to a recent survey.
The survey conducted by Japanese middleware developer CRI apparently polled 102 Japanese game developers and the results showed 18% of those polled already have games released for the iPhone.
16% are working on games for the iPhone and a further 87% have stated they are interested in developing for the iPhone platform. 64.7% of developers have said that the capacity to release in more than 80 countries is a good draw, 42.2% stated ease of purchasing via iTunes and 55.9% said it was the size of the market.
This makes perfect sense - Japanese Games Developers + iPhone OS3.0 = Awesomeness
