Play BS Super Famicom Wars - BS Ban (Japan) Online

Ever played Super Famicom Wars and thought, "Man, I wish I could squeeze a quick match in between bus rides"? BS Super Famicom Wars - BS Ban was Nintendo’s weird little answer to that—sort of. This Japan-only Satellaview spinoff beamed bite-sized missions straight to your SNES, like some kind of 90s streaming service for turn-based warfare.

It wasn’t as deep as the main games, but the episodic maps had this scrappy charm. Some weeks you’d get a brutal time attack, others a goofy experimental scenario. Half the fun was seeing what weird challenge they’d throw at you next. And yeah, the whole "broadcast" gimmick meant some content just… vanished if you missed it. Classic 90s FOMO.

Honestly, it’s more of a curiosity now than a must-play, but there’s something oddly charming about its "Nintendo trying to predict the future" energy. Like finding an old magazine ad for something that kinda-sorta became Netflix.
