Available for pre-release orders beginning February 13, 1995, the Satellaview retailed for between ¥14,000〔McClure, Steve. ''Japan's St. Giga to broadcast Nintendo Games''. Billboard. Vol. 106. No. 30. p78. 23 July 1994.〕 and 18,000〔''サテラビューセット！ お待たせしました店頭販売開始''. Shūkan Famitsū. 10–17 November 1995.〕〔(サテラビュー購入申し込みページ ). Nintendo.co.jp (via Internet Archive). June 5, 1997.〕 (then between USD$141 and 182) and came bundled with the BS-X Game Pak and an 8M Memory Pak. The Satellaview system was developed and released by Nintendo to receive signals broadcast from satellite TV station WOWOW's satellite radio subsidiary, St.GIGA. St.GIGA was responsible for file server management, maintenance, and vocalization for "SoundLink" games. Nintendo data broadcasts were given a fixed time slot known as the during which scrambled Satellaview-related data was streamed via radio waves to be unscrambled by St.GIGA's . As a subscription-based station for ambient and New Age music, St.GIGA listeners were already equipped with "BS tuners" prior to St.GIGA's contract with Nintendo. Satellaview owners who lacked a "BS tuner" had to purchase one separately from St.GIGA at a price of ¥33,000,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=セント・ギガ ギャラリー ● デコーダー )〕 as well as sign up for Nintendo's and St.GIGA's monthly joint membership fees.〔''(Broadcast Satellaview - X )''. BlameTheControlpad.com. Retrieved 20 February 2009.〕 Alternatively, users could rent "BS tuners" from St.GIGA for a 6-month period at a price of ¥5,400.〔 Even at this premium price, St.GIGA reported subscriptions peaking at 116,378 households by March 1997, and dropping to around 46,000 by June 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=セント・ギガの歴史] )〕 ==Name== The name ''Satellaview'' is a portmanteau of "Satellite" and "view". "BS" stands for Broadcast Satellite, a common name of one of the direct broadcast satellites in Japan. Because the Satellaview was only released in Japan, there has been some confusion among English-speaking enthusiasts as to what the "BS" prefix means. As a result, a number of mistranslations have been introduced into common use today and are prevalent on English-speaking fan sites, most commonly either "Bandai Satellaview"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=bs )〕 or "Broadcast Satellaview". Another common mistake that can be found on English-speaking fan sites is the application of the "BS" prefix to all Satellaview titles. While it is true that a number of Satellaview titles do employ the "BS" prefix, the majority of them do not.〔Kameb. ''(スーパーファミコンアワー番組表 )''. The Satellaview History Museum. 12 February 2008.〕 The most standard method used to title Satellaview games used three formats for three different purposes: *The "BS" prefix was only used for the Satellaview's SoundLink Games (e.g. ''BS Zelda no Densetsu''). All "BS-" titles are SoundLink games, but not all SoundLink games bear the "BS" prefix. *The suffix was used solely for non-SoundLink Satellaview-original releases (e.g. ). Although all "BS Version" games are Satellaview originals, not all Satellaview originals bore the "BS Version" suffix. *The original title was used for Satellaview ports and conversions (e.g. ''Zelda no Densetsu Kamigami no Triforce''). *A fourth variety of title using the prefix is common for Satellaview games, such as . These games are Satellaview originals that often take the form of Satellaview-themed quiz games or that relate to the world of the BS-X BIOS, ''BS-X: The Story of The Town Whose Name Was Stolen''. As the Broadcast Satellite (BS) system was in use in Japan prior to the release of the Satellaview; the term "BS" may refer to programming prior to the Satellaview. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satellaview」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
