There actually is a way to recreate the original broadcast translated into English. Some emulators and the SD2SNES flashcart can use MSU1, a custom chip that allows you to add CD quality audio and even FMVs to SNES games, and BS Zelda was fully dubbed into English with the soundtrack and everything.
Conner you goof, that image you showed of Gateway was LITERALLY a set of Flash Carts that are pretty shit now that people can easily hack their 3DS systems.
nintendo should do something like this again. they have stated to doing more animated media alongside the mario movie and the universal theme park, maybe for the switch online service they could have an exclusive tv anime or movies for their ip's like kid icarus,smash bros, fire emblem, star fox,zelda, kirby, or mario(to celebrate its anniversary) on a weekly/bi-monthly broadcast.
The “Gateway” cartridge that you showed us, is a cartridge that would allow you to hack your 3DS, but it eventually failed somewhere in 2013 because of the “many stability improvements over the beta release” and that update LITTERALLY bricked the 3DS consoles, and that’s why it failed... but at least there is cart that was made by the same company behind Gateway called “Stargate” which does less than the Gateway cart.
Not to mention that Nintendo has referenced it *ONLY TWICE* so far: - 4 additional missions to Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo (New Mystery of the Emblem; the remeke of third FE on DS) coming from BS Fire Emblem (Sakurai mentioned it at the Byleth presentation) - The Satellaview Costume in Super Mario Odyssey
@@cadets3852 It's not. The included one is Kirby Super Star - a major game consisting of 8 modes - but Kirby no Omochabako is much minor (some generic minigames) and was broadcasted in 8 separated files (much like some DSi games)
2:47 ok I think I figured it out, but don't quote me on any of this. The AV selector seems to be the center of this "network" shall we call it. The BS tuner gets audio/video (visual and sound) data and voice data from the internet and sends it to the AV selector, and it sends that to the TV. The AV selector gets power from an adapter and sends that power along with voice data to the satellaview. The satellaview then sends power to the SNES itself, where (likely via the cartridge) sends visual and audio back to the av selector, which sends it to the TV. SO to sum it all up, The BS Tuner gets data from the internet, sends it to the av selector, which gets power from the wall and sends it and some stuff to the satellaview which sends power to the SNES that sends data back to the ac selector which sends A/V to your TV.
To my understanding, the thing had a sort of memory card that plugged into it like a Game Boy cart in a Super Game Boy. Not every game was played live, and you actually had the option to download certain games to these memory cards. This is supposedly the only reason some BS-X games managed to be emulated today. Though, it is worth mentioning that a few Satellaview-exclusive games DID see the light of day again in some form, with some being released on the Wii and WiiU Virtual Console (most notably, the visual novel Hajimari no Mori was released on such platforms). A few games, like Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, even had the fortune of getting a full retail release afterwards. Incidentally, Japan never got a retail version of the compilation game Tetris & Dr. Mario, but Japan did still get an SNES version of Dr. Mario (though without Tetris) through the Satellaview. Similarly, Japan got Tetris Attack (as in OUR version of Panel de Pon, with the Yoshi skin) this way as well.
Old comment but... to clarify, I think you are somewhat confusing the BS-X with another Japanese only Super Famicom thing, the Nintendo Power cartridge system. You essentially bought this blank cartridge that you could take to a physical kiosk at a store to download games at a discounted price. To my knowledge, Hajimari no Mori and Thracia 776 never were broadcasted on the Satellaview. Some games that were broadcasted did eventually receive a cartridge version, or were downloadable through Nintendo Power kiosks, but these versions were very different, lacking streamed music, voice acting, timed events and the like. For example, compare the broadcasts of Sutte Hakkun with the physical release, or BS Shin Onigashima with Heisei Shin Onigashima.
Rumor is Nintendo released a console between the Wii and the Switch known as the "Wii U", and yet... You don't hear Nintendo talking a lot about it. Did this mythical console exist? Some don't believe it ever did!
This is one of those things that we westerners could only look at even now with jealousy in our hearts. Knowing we would never ever see this on our shores. I can't help but wonder what a team-up between Nintendo and DirecTV could have been. Probably a train wreck so it's just as well we never got it.
While the idea is interesting and unique, I'm surprised it wasn't a PR disaster: HIgh price ceiling and only able to play games at certain times of the day. That's actually a terrible idea. That wouldn't make me want to play it at the time.
According to Google Translate, This Town, Sore Wa Namae O Nusumareta Machi No Monogatari, Means “It's the name of the lost town” so this “Lost” Town has No Name.
I lived in Japan for a year and a half from 2005-06, i was 5 when my dad got orders to go, he was on the Kitty Hawk, we had to leave abruptly because I needed surgery
Some dedicated fans actually saved ALL the orchestrated music for BS Zelda that they played on the Satellaview live. You can even import them to the ROM and play with orchestra (+English voice acting) using higan.
The super Mario wiki has information on the satellaview, such as a toad singing game called kinopio live and an adult themed virtual magazine called Shitamachi Ninjo Gekijo.
You know this is... Not a bad idea. The pricing is horrible, yes, but the idea is good. Could work as a streaming service, you can stream any game from a selection in a hub, and compete online in live streamed games like this did. It's... Not a bad idea honestly, just ahead of it's time and horribly priced.
