Selena the Retro-PrincessThe Nintendo Broadcast Satellaview was added to my collection after my last collection post!
Of course the service is gone, but with it's bios and a cart with a real-time clock, you can get a good sense of what it was once like!
Jenny753@SuperSelena64 If you have a PC, there's a group of folks working to replicate the Satellaview experience with emulators!
ShaneIsGames@SuperSelena64 Super jealous! Such an interesting piece of hardware, way, waaaaay ahead of its time!
CM30@SuperSelena64 damn a real Satellaview in the wild. Would be awesome to see this restored to full functionality via the fan project someone else mentioned!

@SuperSelena64 one day I’d like to even get a non working one as a stand for my SFC but even broken ones go for a fair amount.
Vinnyboiler@SuperSelena64 One of the most interesting consoles peripherals of all time. Games made for the thing really was a unique one time experience combining SNES game play with a radio audio drama, and tied together with synced up gameplay loops tied to what you were currently hearing.
The end result is simply an temporal spectacle unlike no other. The closest comparison I can think of is like whenever Fortnight host a live concert but tied to that famous case in World of Warcraft where a unintentional epidemic spread throughout the world. Think of around a hundred thousand Japanese kids playing a synced experience and having no way of playing it again after it was done.
It was ephemerality in video game form.
I feel like there is a lot you can study from it.

@vinnyboiler Even now with what has been reconstructed on my system, I can launch the BS-X version of Excitebike (for example) and if it's not time for the next course yet, I can play practice rounds until the time is ready. You have to play it at the right time to play the different courses. It's just so cool.
No real-time audio though (yet) 😉
