The Nintendo Satellaview allowed you to connect to a satellite broadcast to download games or play along while voice acting and music was streamed to you live! Way crazy stuff ahead of its time.
Sadly, since most of the original content was streamed live back in the day (and only in Japan, of course), we have lost a lot of it to time. However, thanks to super otaku in the '90s recording broadcasts on their VCRs and the nonstop effort for preservationists looking for rare Satellaview memory packs out in the wild that still have games and other titles stored away on them to dump, we are seeing new items pop up almost every year. The hunt continues!
Special items included:
Games not in English (but only if they were easy enough to play without being fluent in another language), English-patched translations, Super Famicom games downloaded from the service, plus these extras:
"Bokujou Monogatari (Demo)," "Mario Paint BS Ban: Yuushou Sakuhin Naizou Version," "Nintendo Power Magazine #107," and "Tenchi Souzou (Visual Demo)."
None of these extras are "games" in the typical sense - They contain multimedia items and Satellaview applications that I believe are important to preserve. If you're only after the actual games in this set, feel free to delete those titles named above.
Items removed:
Non-working dumps, duplicates, and titles not in English that require proficiency in another language to play - Those can be found in my "Nintendo Satellaview Language Pack"
