In 1995, Nintendo released the Satellaview, an add-on for the Super Famicom, in Japan. Officially abbreviated BS-X (Broadcast Satellite-X), the Satellaview's main function was that of a satellite modem. It could receive broadcasts from St. GIGA, a subsidiary of TV station WOWOW. Originally priced between ¥14,000 and 18,000 (equivalent to between $141 and $182 USD), the Satellaview sold relatively well for several years, but by mid-2000, St. GIGA stopped broadcasting signals to its BS-X. | In 1995, Nintendo released the Satellaview, an add-on for the Super Famicom, in Japan.
