i really enjoy how creative the menu is, i've never seen a menu like that before! the whole system looks and sounds like an Earthbound game, very neat!!
It's hard to believe they were capable of achieving something like this with old hardware. Though it's process was probably pretty simple and straightforward, it was also very technically advanced for its time I bet.
This add on was so freaking cool and ahead of it's time. It was pretty much the founding father of game streaming. I'm so jealous to all of the japanese gamers in the mid to late 90's that got to experience this wonderful world of BS Zelda, digital magazines, free game trials and all. It took a hell of a lot of trial and error to get this to work, you needed a satellite dish atop your house, (Which many people in Japan don't have since it's mostly apartments and dorms due to dense population) a kit from St. Giga to communicate with it, an SFC, the Satellaview, and the BS-X cartridge. But boy was it worth the money and trouble from what i've heard... If only I was rich, living in Japan in the 90's, and growing up on SNES
I cant imagine a lot of japanese gamers got to experience this like at all. The physical addon was expensive, pretty sure there was a monthly fee to use it, you already mentioned the need for a satellite, broadcasting things at specific times only for like 2 hours is stupid, and for what, texture packs for already released games? Most changes were only visual and the things in game that were different were pretty minimal. In my opinion even if I lived in japan in the 90s and had the money it seems like a raw deal and a waste of time.
@@nore5888 Sega had the "Sega Game Library" which worked over phone lines and there was also the Sega Channel that worked over cable TV but there wasn't anything equivalent to Satellaview's Sound Link capabilities.
@@diopptazz If you ask St. Giga, they may still have the ROMs. But, it's very unlikely. So unlikely that Nintendo wouldn't even have them either. Even if you asked very nicely.
@@th3r1ans@th3r1ans The lore behind the town was actually covered in a two part Satellaview game series called Satellawalker that starred the Satellaview mascots Sateupo and Terebo. It unfortunately hasn't been translated yet...
In the surfing scene, I was gonna say that sharks aren't that bloodthirsty to begin with, given that they sometimes need to smell blood to begin going haywire, but no, sharks can't kiss people either in real life; they're just clueless.
I know this is quite a while after, but do you know where could find an extended version of the download tune from 0:40 ? This is a great little video, but I'm gonna be haunted by this if I can't find a longer version of this little ditty.
But the ultimate question remains, could you also sent high scores of certain games to share it with other sattlelaview users via a scoreboard??? It would be interesting to know if you cannot only recieve data but also sent data trough the sattlelaview to share it with the rest or with nintendo,
@@Taneuma_563 well i did a search trough google and as it turns out while it is true that onlile multiplayer is impossible on the sattlelavie due the one way nature of radio connection,however it was possible to send limited data back at certain times back trough the radio connection by alternating between recieving and sending data so let’s say that if on 16:00 till 18: AM it broadcasted data then during that period you couldn’t send data BUT after 18:00 AM till let’s say 20:00 AM you cound send limited data back to the sattlelaview service due the free bandwide availibility for it ,it’s like walkie talkie wich works in such a way lije this in wich the person has to wait to speak after the other person has spoken before it is his turn😁
Sadly Not Because the System Was shut down in 2000.But hey your coment was posted Like Two Months Ago Maybe If you are reading this now You Have an Emulator :D ...Umm Rigth?....
Ciao! Sono qui da Telegram! Come hai fatto ad installare l’emulatore de Satellaview e a far partire i giochi? Dove hai trovato le rom? Scusa la domanda un po’ lunga ma la cosa mi incuriosisce! Di solito non sono il tipo da richiederlo ma potresti farci un tutorial? Grazie!
La rom del satellaview installa automaticamente una cartella per scaricare i giochi (solo nella versione più recente degli emulatori), le rom si scaricano da una pagina su archive.org che non ricordo. Una volta scaricate, si cambia il tipo di file in bs e si installa all'interno di satellawave, un programma per programmare il satellaview. Poi si esporta satellawave e si incolla all interno della cartella creata in precedenza
@shannon bsx do u know which one? they moved buildings in 2001 apparently. it doesn't look much like the one on the wiki... maybe it's broadcasting headquarters?? not sure. bs5 might stand for broadcast station 5, but idk why they'd use english/latin alphabet if it's in japan
Then here are some facts about it 1. Came out april 24 1995 only in japan 2. Ended June 30 2000 3. Had a bunch of broadcasts some of which are lost to time 4. Nintendo dropped support in 1999 5. A astronaut costume from a satellaview commercial was added into super mario odyssey
@@Manuuu45_ I giochi del satellaview complessivi sono circa una quarantina. Sono ancora reperibili pochi giochi poiché la Nintendo ha chiuso molti siti di rom, ma se cerchi dovresti trovarli quasi tutti su una pagina di archive.org, che per ovvi motivi non posso linkarti
