I'm so excited about this mostly lost and forgotten piece of Nintendo history being revived by some really smart members of the community! Ever since I heard about the Satellaview, I've always wanted to see what it was like back when it was originally released. Hopefully some day, this project could let owners of the hardware get some use out of this awesome peripheral.

    Thanks for checking us out! I hope everyone enjoys the project!

    As of me writing this comment (7/14/24) the open beta is currently over so the servers won't be working until the next one. The lead developer said they're planning to do another beta starting August 1st so make sure you join the Discord to get notified when it's back up!

    Nintendo ought to bring back Satellaview as part of the NSO subscription
  • @joeldabest638
    Oh man that's neat! Hopefully we can get the Sega Channel revival next!
  • I've been waiting for something like this for years! Early online functionality has always fascinated me, especially early Nintendo stuff, thanks for showing this off, and thank you to the Satellaview Plus team!
  • @Peppe0212
    The fact that real hardware support is planned makes me feel so excited for this, i can't wait to be able to use this cool add-on
  • @promaster424
    I'm glad I can help this project. And maybe even make some cool events for all of you ;)
  • @Ev3rm00n
    This is actually pretty cool. Would be a little something to be excited about at the end of the day, see what is being broadcasted, even the japanese magazines can be enjoyed nowadays with google lens and stuff. Such a great project.
  • @lpfan4491
    Fans are genuine heroes...AGAIN. Like, I have no problem supporting official releases(like NSO) when I have the cash left over, but reviving the satellaview and N64DD? Nintendo would never, you guys. This is so beautiful. At this stage, it would not surprise me if the japanese version of Pokemon Crystal gets its online restored too.(Which btw yes, people have called out the release for not adding enough and that's a localization change. Its biggest addition is supposed to be online!)
  • @idkdkak
    I never thought I'd see the Satellaview live. I always wanted to experience randnet too, but we could never get a 64DD before the closure. Always nice to see stuff like this, it makes these consoles seem new again :)
  • @yawg691
    Beyond cool! I'd stake my savings on it that the Ape guys had their hands in the graphic design.
  • @Wobuffet3
    not sure about the rest of the dev team, but the guy who did earthbound music do indeed do music for this too
  • @ZipplyZane
    I was literally about to ask if the hubworld was Earthbound, and then you said it.
  • @scoutkirby1764
    This is SO cool! There's so much potential with this too. I'd love to see a BS Zelda timed broadcast done through this, even better if they go the extra mile with custom time events and a live "radio broadcast" (Though realistically I'd use twitch foe that part) to announce the stuff in the game and maybe do their own lore. As for the potential for real hardware, I imagine the next step after having a stable emulator is getting it connected through the SD2SNES/FXPak since you can connect that to a computer via USB and do some neat stuff, including connecting it on the internet that way.

    Dazaemon is a very old shmup game maker that was on NES/SNES/PSX/Saturn.
  • @JamesTDG
    It would be cool to see community run satellaview servers that have cool bonus stuff
