The Satellaview is a satellite modem add-on for Nintendo's Super Famicom system in Japan released in 1995. It was made in a joint effort between Nintendo and St.GIGA, the latter at the time being a popular satellite radio company. The Satellaview had features relatively comparable to Sega's Sega Channel service in North America, as the Satellaview allowed users to download games, news magazines, and articles from St.GIGA's servers. Satellaview could also stream Satellite Radio, which at times was used to play pop music, advertise, or allow people to listen to radio programs while playing games—for certain special games, particularly the games advertised as Soundlink, of which many of the Super Mario-franchise games showcased on it were, audio was played intentionally to go along with the gameplay and consisted of character voice acting and arranged game music. The Satellaview was discontinued on June 30, 2000.
