Zynga wants to be big in Japan
Zynga and Softbank plan to announce an alliance to take Zynga's popular games on Facebook to Japan, according to Dean Takahashi of GamesBeat. The Zynga-Softbank partnership was initially reported back in April, but now details are emerging. The market for social mobile games is huge in Japan, and this is an opportunity for Zynga to go international and become less reliant on its partnership with Facebook.
