Satellaview
Background
The Satellaview is a Japanese peripheral for the Super Famicom, developed by Nintendo in collaboration with St.GIGA, a now-defunct Japanese satellite radio company. Released in 1995 and discontinued in 2000, it was designed for downloading content through the use of satellite broadcasts hosted by St.GIGA.
BS-X: Sore wa Namae o Nusumareta Machi no Monogatari is the cartridge that the peripheral uses to interact with the Satellaview service. It acts as a video-game and an interactive menu hybrid, consisting of an in-game hub similar to that of Earthbound.
