The Town Whose Name Was Stolen - Satellaview BS-X (MiSTer FPGA)
The application cartridge of Satellaview, titled BS-X: Sore wa Namae o Nusumareta Machi no Monogatari (commonly translated as BS-X: The Town Whose Name Was Stolen), serves as both an interactive menu system and its own game. It was inserted into the Super Famicom's cartridge port, and is required to use the peripheral. The game features an EarthBound-esque hub world, featuring different buildings that represented each of Satellaview's different services and entertainment venues. Players can create a custom avatar, purchase items found in stores scattered across the map, and play short minigames, as well as read announcements made by St.GIGA and Nintendo and participate in contests. The BS-X cartridge also helps increase the Super Famicom's hardware performance with extra on-board RAM.

This add on was so freaking cool and ahead of it's time. It was pretty much the founding father of game streaming. I'm so jealous to all of the japanese gamers in the mid to late 90's that got to experience this wonderful world of BS Zelda, digital magazines, free game trials and all. It took a hell of a lot of trial and error to get this to work, you needed a satellite dish atop your house, (Which many people in Japan don't have since it's mostly apartments and dorms due to dense population) a kit from St. Giga to communicate with it, an SFC, the Satellaview, and the BS-X cartridge. But boy was it worth the money and trouble from what i've heard... If only I was rich, living in Japan in the 90's, and growing up on SNES

Fully agree with this, it really was such a creative and cool add-on. I just love this wild, video gamey approach to an online service you know! I've thought of this for a while, what if the online service of the Switch's successor would be a modern day version of the Satellaview? Just think Satellaview but in the modern day, with that cool overworld and all that. That would be neat!

Apparently, Nintendo tried to bring the Satellaview to the US in conjunction with Microsoft. Yeah, I’m not joking.
Now that you've seen the town in its minimal activity state, you should try booting this with the no$cash's emulator. He's also emulating it like there's an active broadcast going on but definitely a more interesting one! You can even select to receive a program from the menu inside the house to actually download something 'off the air' to play.
The menu gives HUGE EARTHBOUND vibes

The intro is ＨＥＡＶＥＮＬＹ
it'd be amazing if someone were able to program a bunch of the satelaview games we have into this rom that would just cycle to a random one each time you boot it up, or some similar way to experience what it was like to use this service when it was still live

I could think of making separate game cartridges for each game, and then see if we can make a game cartridge having those games, but it would be a collection cartridge, just like Super Mario Bros. Got it's own cartridge, and Duck Hunt got it's own cartridge, and then both of those games came into one cartridge, so it's like a collection cartridge. I wonder if I would like cycling to a different game each day. Sometimes, it could be a game someone dislikes, and then they have to wait next day for a new game to show up. Only one Zelda game got released for SNES. There is another Zelda game that got released for Satellaview, but Satellaview only got released in Japan. Someone mentioned that his favorite characters are the satellite characters on the title screen. I'm kind of thinking about giving them a game to be in.
Most of the locales: “We are closed at the moment.” Translation: “We’re closed for good.”
Pretty sure there's a program where you can make custom saves for this thing. I had it a while back (probably before I renamed my channel).
I love the intro sound
i got to run the town, but it's deserted and all the shops are closed :/
ahhh i didn't have it but it looks cool
May I use this footage in a video if I give credit?

Wow, I unintentionally found this video again. Thanks again for letting me use the footage! The video ended up doing really well, and part of that is thanks to you. @@notharry8679
The title screen always remind me of The Desintegration Loops.
I saw a video of someone playing a girl and the town was empty, and the theme sounding is different. What affects the town theme?
Push b after buying the sprint shoes and walking and you will go fast (the tree said that to me)

You just need to load up the BS-X bios in the SNES core on MiSTer; launch it as if it were a game rom. You can grab the bios from here: project.satellaview.org/downloads.htm
