Myelin Media based in NYC today announced that their latest project would be the first to incorporate inter-system communication between the Playstation 2 and the PSP game consoles. Stacked With Daniel Negeranu(who presumes to be a man of some import among certain "poker circles") will be a poker simulation in which the player will be able to create a career for him/herself in an expansive single player mode and then take it online to challenge other players from across the globe.

In addition to (at this point, obligatory) online play, it will be possible to import player profiles from the Playstation 2 version of Stacked to the PSP via USB cable. Of course, a game about poker couldn't help but put all its chips on the table, so expect online play for the PSP as well.

Gene Mauro, CEO of Myelin Media Inc. felt obligated to toot her own horn: "We have taken full advantage of the system's connectivity features with the PSP system, allowing players unmatched convenience and portability in the single player game and a massive pool of opponents to compete with online."

It should come as no surprise (and to no enthuse) that the first game to offer this kind of interoperability between systems and online would be a card game. While I can appreciate the humor in having a handheld international casino that never closes in the pocket of a 19-year-old with a gambling addiction, let's hope more ambitious developers take a stab at this kind of communication between systems very soon (Nippon Ichi: write it down).
