XBLA: Mahjong Tales: Ancient Wisdom Comes To XBLA As Mahjong Wisdom: Ancient Tales

Earlier this year TikGames and Creat Studios brought Mahjong Tales to the PlayStation Network, now it appears the game is coming to Xbox Live Arcade with a name switch-around.

According to the Aussie COB rating board TikGames are going this one solo without Creat Studios. They've done this before as well - Interpol was released on XBLA at the start of the year by TikGames themselves, but was published months later on PSN by Creat.

Unlike XBLA's Funtown Mahjong, which is based on traditional Mahjong, Mahjong Wisdom is based on the Mahjong Solitare. While it did receive some so-so reviews on the PSN, mostly for sluggish control, the developers at TikGames will hopefully fix any problems people had before this game gets released. The name change this time around is pretty odd, but I guess it's a workaround for... something.

You can check out some screenshots of the PSN version here in the meantime, and we should get an official announcement soon.
