Zelda Universe- 25 Years in 25 Days: 1995

Although the Zelda drought continued in America and Europe, in 1995 Japan was lucky enough to still get new ways to play Zelda games. Today, in Zelda Universe’s 25 Years in 25 Days, they look at the Broadcast System X or BS-X for short. Due to their tech-savvy nature, Japan was first to be able to offer players downloadable content. They created the Broadcast System X or as it was commonly referred to, Satellaview, an add-on for the Super Famicom. It acted as a satellite radio receiver and let you download games at certain times of the day. The first Zelda game to be brought to Satellaview was simply called BS Zelda. This game mimicked the original Legend of Zelda but it did have a few notable differences. To find out what they are and to learn more be sure to read the whole article over at Zelda Universe.

Imagine this: Free games delivered daily to your Super Nintendo during the week, and exactly at the time when you got home from school. I would never have gotten my homework done. And naturally, what’s the first thing we’d like when it comes to downloading free games on a Nintendo console? For those of you answered to get free Zelda games, you win the prize!

I don’t know too much about these games. Obviously, I have never played them and there are very few ways to do so today. To be honest, even if there were a way, I’m not sure I would play them. Although it is stated that the Satellaview games were easier because of the time constraint put on them, I was never great at the original Legend of Zelda and this doesn’t seem that much different.

What did you guys learn from today’s article? Have any of you ever played a Satellaview game? If there were a way to easily get them today, would you play them? Let us know in the comments!
