On Fire Edition is more of a remaster than a full on sequel, but it is good. Aside from Mario Basketball, this is the only basketball game series I really enjoy, namely because it's got an arcade feel instead of a realistic feel. I would totally bring this game to an actual basketball game on a rooftop.
Are those sd to memory stick adapters reliable? I know the format is pretty different, and I worry that there might be issues. I've got a 8GB memory stick (high speed), which is the largest size Sony sells on their site, but the thing has become pretty full.
I picked up a NES Classic today. I set it up and played it real quick (I'm boxing it back up because it's intended as a gift). I think for what it is, it'll do just fine for most people. For myself, I'm going to stick with the original hardware, but I really do recommend it for anyone who doesn't have those 30 games or an original NES to play it on. There's a number of little criticisms I could lay on this (I would love if I could buy NES titles online through the device, or plug in original NES controllers, or original NES games, or if they actually went so far as to remake the original hardware compressed down into a chip), but really the only big one is controller related. Aside from cord length, there's one little detail they overlooked. This thing only has one controller. The original NES included two, the Famicom Classic in Japan includes two, so why doesn't the US version include two? (The Famicom Classic has it's own issue, as once again their version is stuck with hard wired controllers). As it stands, any Wii classic controller works just fine on this device, which is nice, but it sure would have been nice to go just a bit further and pack two controllers into this thing. I bought this one for my nieces, so I'll need to find an extra controller so they can enjoy the madness that is Bubble Bobble together.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
