 Satellite system by itself  Shows the satellite system connected to the Super Famicom with the recordable BS-X cartridge attached to the Super Famicom
The Satellaview was an modem add-on for Nintendo's Super Famicom system in Japan. The system would connect to the St. Giga satellite radio station, and during a limited time (between 4:00 and 7:00 PM), one could download video games and receive news about the gaming world, and save it on a memory cart that plugged into the Satellaview.
Most of these titles were original creations or sequels to other game series, and were released in installments.
The system contains :
- Satellaview adapter - (adapted to the bottom of Super Famicom)
- Application cartridge "BS-X : Soreha namae wo nusumareta machi no monogatari" - (aka. The story of the Town those name has been stolen)("BS" was named from broadcast satellite and "X" means nameless)
- 8 Mega-bits Memory Pak - (downloaded games are saved on this memory cart)
And it was developed and released by Nintendo.
Satellaview was broadcast from April 23, 1995 to June 30, 2000. It continued receiving new games up until March 1999. The first game on the system was BS Zelda, a remake of the Famicom game Zelda no Densetsu (aka. The Legend of Zelda).
