Online Mahjong Set for PSP

News from IGN

The Japanese PSP development community still may not get the whole "online" thing, but at least a few are trying. Set to join the small list of infrastructure-aware PSP publishers is Konami, who will release Mahjong Fight Club: Zenkoku Taisen-Ban (National Competition Version) for the PSP on 9/28.

Mahjong Fight Club, based off a popular arcade series, was a launch title for the PSP in Japan. For this update, Konami has added online play, allowing for players throughout Japan to compete with one another. Players make bets using "orbs."

Now that a mahjong game has shown the light, let's hope some of the higher profile releases follow, so that we won't ever have to use the word "ad-hoc" in our articles again.
