I got a NES in 1987, this would've been awesome. I only had a couple games. Accessing a network, with more stuff, I think it would've been awesome for USA, oh well.

Looks cool but it's useless in 2025 just like Satellaview.

Nah, the Famicom.

I honestly kinda like the way it looks. It's sleeker then most other top mounted console add-ons.

I think you're supposed to plug it into your head. Then things go total V.R., or did the advert say if you accidentally plug it into your head visit the E.R.?

28k dial-up matrix, the console was mainly used for gambling not for e.r. visits

I think they only tried a small test group of people before they realised they may have to wait a few years, lol.

I love this thing but also sort of hate it because a lot of content from those days got lost because of it.
(I.e. sites shut down and people not being able to source data from these devices. I'm grumpy at the SatellaView especially because they lost entire games!)

And then they had to be recreated off of videos of the gameplay, like F-ZERO for the SatellaView.

You got it!
Did you know the Famicom detective club games released (and rereleased) for switch aren't games 1,2,3 but rather 1,2,4 because 3 was a satellaview game? Fans are doing their best to get as much as they can back but it is an arduous task due to factors such as Nintendo taking extremely bad care of the game data they were handed for the Satellaview.
