Microsoft adds a Western touch to Xbox 360s in Japan with the announcement of PopCap Arcade, a collection of PopCap Games’ finest titles. The media giant will also be handling the publishing for PopCap, which will now try to take a stab at a broad audience.

 

In Japan, PopCap Arcade will be made up of PopCap Arcade‘s volume one and two, sold in a single disc for ¥3,990 (about US$ 43).

 

The games are already in North America, but it’s interesting to note which games Microsoft saw fit for localization. They are:

 

From Volume 1

• Bejeweled 2
• Zuma
• Feeding Frenzy
• Astropop

 

From Volume 2

• Heavy Weapon
• Feeding Frenzy 2
• Peggle

 

Microsoft will be adding the collection into Japan’s Xbox Live Arcade on June 3rd.
