Play Satellaview BS-X (Japan) (Rev AB) Online
You boot up your SNES to catch scheduled broadcasts—Zelda episodes, weird RPG bits—then wander a digital ghost town between transmissions, knowing most of it was never meant to last.
Ever stumble across something so weird and cool that you can't believe it actually existed? That's the Satellaview BS-X for the SNES—a Japan-only experiment where Nintendo basically turned your console into a satellite radio for games. You'd tune in at specific times to download everything from RPG episodes (yes, including a weird Zelda side-story) to news updates, like some kind of '90s gaming podcast.
The whole thing had this playful, almost Animal Crossing vibe—you'd customize a little avatar and wander a virtual town between broadcasts. But here's the kicker: most of the content was temporary. Miss the airtime? Too bad. It gives the whole thing this eerie, lost-media charm now.
Playing it today feels like digging up a time capsule from an alternate future where Nintendo went all-in on streaming decades early. Clunky? Sure. Fascinating? Absolutely.
