Satellaview

[husambusam]

Nintendo always flirted with online so fak u fanboys of other consoles hardcore lol

[PaperRayman]

Unfortunately, this didn't turn out to be very profitable, (albeit popular) so Nintendo's been more cautious with online games.

...Now look.

[hesecrets]

Man! Japan always get's the cool stuff!!! why not send them to North America for a change?

[BombBakers]

@hesecrets or europe...

[hesecrets]

@BombBakers Yes, and Europe

[gzussturbo]

Fuck... Japan always get the coolest shit.... except nuclear fallout, but the video game stuff , wow!!

[jfachris]

@gzussturbo didn't look like much fun to me.

[METALMAN4Wii]

[kingryan3000]

SAH TEH LAH VEEEEW

[spiderobert]

[spiderobert]

[mudkip11223]

SAH TEH LAH VYUUUUUU

[hutrputr]

HOW does it worK? you play via broadcasting satelite conection? no cartrige only RAM pack yes? i dont get it:D

[papuanewguineapunkjr]

Check it out! In front of that pier that dude is sitting on is a gigantic row of concrete pylons shaped like jacks. They are used to prevent coastal erosion in Japan and are everywhere. At least that is what multiple animes, shows, and commercials like this one has taught me.

[WilliamWillWillson]

I guess beating someone in puzzle games or sudoku was all the rage back then...

Maybe if I was living in Japan, I probably would have wanted it, because I sure know I wanted the LAN cable for the Game cube.

[carontester]

XBOX LIVE WAS NOT TOO ORIGINAL!

[VAdaPEGA]

SA TE LA VIEEEEEEEEW

[TheEleetGamer]

No diskun. The Satellaview add-on is completely real. I dunno about the commercial, but the commercial looks kinda legit. The Satellaview IS completely real.

[MonelloK]

Nintendo invented the internet!

[JIM4741return]

@MonelloK no... he deviously utilized the internet in a genius way tow years after it was invented.

[Entersoftinc]

hmmmm cd add on... space...

[16BitVollidiot]

the first gen of sega mega drive had a modem port too, so why everybody start to wonder if its real? On Sega Mega Drive you where able to play military commander online. And sega was the first with it, like ever.

[Reypure207]

This was to playonline or something like that?

[2010mustang2]

@Reypure207 Yes, you could also watch TV and listen to the radio with it. I't used the satellite because Back then almost everyone (if not everyone) had Dial-up and that was too slow to play online.

[kakusode]

RIP Kei Tomiyama.

[Geno11116]

i heard mario say ass

[dumbasspauldentonkin]

Am I right in thinking the plug underneath my PAL SNES was intended for this sort of thing?

[campervan25]

@dumbasspauldentonkin Yes, damn Japanesse >:(

[dumbasspauldentonkin]

@campervan25 I wonder if I got one and it would work :P

[ninjaaaaasplat]

I think it's weird how they were (I think) the only console that had some kind of networking (can it be considered networking?) at that time, but nowadays they aren't exactly utilizing internet the way their competitors have. Still brilliant, thought.

[sayastra]

@ninjaaaaasplat what about the sega channel cartridge/adaptor?

[duo2nd]

Without this, we won't get WiiWare.

[dashwarts]

If only modern download services (like WiiWare) worked like the Satellaview was said to have worked... A subscription service, but you can also save games you like onto proprietary rewritable carts. The expensive carts have some of the money from them effectively pay for the game, so you basically you play whatever is available and buy it if you want it forever. If only I could experience such a great service myself.

[izlude2]

by the way, what happens if you try to use it now? would you get a fuzzy channel? blank screen? there must be SOMETHING still up there right?

[Dant2142]

No, actually you would just get a "no signal" error.

[dbzlotrfan]

I'd LOVE to be able to download these games on the Virtual Console (or Wiiware). Cheapskates . . .

[EdmacZ]

Japan gets a cool satellite service add-on for the SNES. Including fun original games with it.

What did the Americans get? The Unholy Triforce and All Toasters Toast Toast.

Gee, thanks a lot Nintendo.

[thekwlman11]

it would have been quite hard to do it in USA coz it's so big

[RyogaXvX]

Toasters toast bread ;]

[izlude2]

CD-i was the best thing that happened to youtube :) haaha

[Palmerholic]

Of course SEGA had the smart idea of doing it through cable.

A satellite set up just for game play? Crazy.

[sonic91207]

:D

satellaview!!!!

[boohauntedhouse65]

oh my god, mario's japanese! lol

[2010mustang2]

@boohauntedhouse65 Nintendo is Japanese but I think Mario is suppost to be Italian but came from New York. I konw it's weird.

[famicomfans34]

wow it's incredible for those years but now it's very old!!!! and i think this is very rare

[awesomecdiperson]

Also. What are they saying in this commercial by the way

[KomaruMedare]

I want a one because not only is it incredibly rare, but because the product has "BS" in the name.

[fecman94]

that's a BS reason

XD

[awesomecdiperson]

Hey is this compatible with the American snes because I saw one on Ebay.............

[HoboBob24]

No, it's too small. Sorry.

[awesomecdiperson]

Dang. Hey if I bought a Super Famicom would it work here in the U.S.? I mean voltage wise

[HoboBob24]

I don't know...

You might wanna take a trip to Yahoo Answers for that one.

[boohauntedhouse65]

well you would have to buy an adaptor but i would say it would but don't hold me to it

[Brendanc151]

I think the Satellaview servers would be shut down by now, so it may not even work now.

[dbzlotrfan]

They most likely are, even so I'd love to be able to download them to the Wii. Nintendo tried so much and now they try so little that doesn't go outside of Japan.

[wingnut4427]

What did this extension do to the super famicom ?

[awesomecdiperson]

allowed you to download games from a satalitte service

[johneymute]

damm they had to try to release and commercialize the satlelaview worldwide,as the expansion port bellow the snes was never ever used,unfortunetaly!!!!!!!!!!

[Akujitsu]

This is basically the pre cursor to what is now being done successfully on the Wii, PS3, and 360. Downloading of content except through internet, not satellite.

[slackery]

Idiots, the satellaview exist but only in Japan, didn't last long since was based on a subcription and players have to play the games in chapters. Like Zelda when you finish the first boss you have to wait a week so you can download the next level of a dungeon but in this case was called chapters. Only last 3 chapters with live voice that was broadcasted live from ST. GIGA that was the owner of the broadcast center. As far I know they change the features in the game like hidden golden statues.

[atari94]

what dose it do ?

[YoshiFan501]

SNES games beamed from space...

COOL!!!

[Diskun128]

Umm.. fake?, I guess you live in Japan for say that it's fake or not?

[FIXTREME]

Eh relax he's Peruano

[asgfasdtwqtc]

@Diskun128 dude its not fake. its an add on which uses satellite to down load games and even play via satellite with others within japan or where ever the service was offered. if u look below the snes u will see a port thats how they connect it.lol im a huge Nintendo fan thats y i know

[MalmerDK]

@Diskun128

I'm gonna go with 'not' fake, since I have one sitting in my living room.

/watch?v=7odLtnrfo4A

[Geno11116]

@Diskun128 no its real

[sonicheroes777]

@Diskun128 It's a real product.

[Glumglufs]

haha xD priceless

[SiLeNtXaViOr]

Why can i se a some sattelviews on ebay then?

[ElPeruanoUFO]

You don't whoever says they're selling a satelliteview is either lying or loves to live in the past.

[Arrowdance]

to ElPeruanoUFO

Hey, relax.

Look, I'm peruvian, too. And I know this system is real. It was a satellite modem add-on for Super Famicom released only in Japan, and it was broadcast from April 23, 1995 to June 30, 2000. And finally, although it was the time of the N64, Satellaview was a successful add-on.

I think you should investigate more about this system for you can see, you are wrong.

[arbayer2]

@ElPeruanoUFO ht tp:// en. wikipedia. org/ wiki/ Satellaview (without spaces) 'Nuff said. It's real. It just never came out in the US or Europe.

[HardcoreGamer4Ever]

@ElPeruanoUFO No, it was real. It was released in Japan as Nintendo's answer to Sega Channel.

[lordcycle]

was this nintendo's version of sega's sega channel?

[lazyguy02]

can you play snes games on these?

[platano214]

they were technically snes games but were created for the add on device...which allowed you to download games for the japanese snes..

[ThisIsGonnaBeCool]

wow mario sounds really different in japan.

[gigoIopoo]

THIS IS THE ORIGIN OF PICROSS ON THE DS!

I guess this also led to the idea of Wifi on the DS

[duo2nd]

Actually, the WiiWare and Wifi originated in this.

[EdmacZ]

This not being introduced in the U.S is well...BS.

[miiwii93]

lol i see what you did thar.....

[AparoidX]

Nintendo was so far ahead of everyone back then... even with the Famicom, it was pretty advanced.

Gosh, why couldn't I be Japanese? >__<

[bigguy292]

That makes two of us. ^^

[dbzlotrfan]

Three of us.

[seganerd89]

@AparoidX They weren't ahead of sega, Genesis does what nintendon't.

[Klybethepenguin]

@seganerd89 Yeah yeah, but Nintendo was better.

[seganerd89]

@Klybethepenguin whatever helps ya sleep at night.

[Klybethepenguin]

@seganerd89 well, I think it was totally better back then. That's just my opinion.

[TLucretiusCarus]

@AparoidX - にぽんじんだよ！



[duba3988]

This was an incredible thing, I wish we had this in the states.

[ChikikyoKONAMI]

They should really port those to the Virtual Console!

[Glumglufs]

port the sattelite link?

[dbzlotrfan]

That they should, I WOULD download BS-X games. I think some groups of people are trying to make the BS-X games playable on emulators (PC or Wii/others) . . .

[myspacecommassergio]

@dbzlotrfan lol it already is playable for ZSNES emulator xD

you can get bsx games @ "emu-russia"(google it). Click the english flag. Then you can download them and play on computer. I just started playing Radical Dreamers (translated version i got from emurussia) its like a picture book. It was the game Crono Cross was based off of. its ok.. its sorta like a graphic novel with pics and u select options. :P

Check out BS Fzero that one's NICE! Makes playing the original Fzero(snes) boring. :)

[white1whidow]

it would have failed just like the sega cd and the 32x respectively

[RyoJapan2007]

No it dosn´t.

The System runs  really good until 2000.

[ElPeruanoUFO]

I personally know that's a lie.

[nintendaruto818]

SATURAVERW!

[etsul]

Saellaview isn't a thing to enjoy online multiplay with the modem to receive the satellite data broadcasting.

By the way, the delivery of data seems to have continued from 1995 to 2000.

[SUPERFOX5]

Yeah, it ended in 2000. Even if I got the import, I wouldn't be able to download anything...

[platano214]

LOL.. yeah very lucky... Its mostly because Nintendo is a Japanese company so they entertain their own first then decide whether we should get the same treatment... As where Xbox an american company gives Japan exclusive games.and gives us HAlo. most overrated game

[Panpizza15]

online multyplayer for snes, lucky japaniese
