Confusion - Live Broadcast BS F-Zero 2.

(EDIT: URL FIX COMPLETE)

I posted a piece of music from this earlier, so I might as well bring this up now... excuse my lack of any organization.

Anyway, I'm sure a few of you have heard of "BS F-Zero 2". It was a Satellaview download, was it?... well, actually, it seems to also be multiple Satellaview Live Broadcast games, as well.

This actually confused me for a while - still does, honestly. There's no ROM dumps of the Live Broadcast versions, and it seems most of the internet forgot about it's existence. But then these vids got uploaded on NicoNicoDouga...





After an introduction to the hosts of the program, you get to practice, and then race, on "Forest 1". Wait, what's Forest 1? This track is not in any other game that I recall! And... there's no healing panels? Crazy! Imagine that in F-Zero X or GX!




And the music... what? "Highway Star"? The music played is the kind of stuff that people now try to S-Rank in Rock Band! In a way, fitting... but not expected.




One more video...




Unfortunately, so far only this one week is up. I'd love to see week 2. (Looking up old JP sites describe a "METAL FORT" track... could that be what week 2 has?)

Original NicoNicoDouga vids:

BS F-ZEROグランプリ2 第1週 part3
BS F-ZEROグランプリ2 第1週 part4

If anyone can get some more info on this for me, feel free to leave a message.

Satellaview Advertising

When you look for Satellaview videos on Youtube, the most likely results you'll come across are, well, ads.

They're pretty funky ads, too.



This one gets around in particular. Mario In Space, showing off the Satellaview's skills and making me wish for a remake of Super Mario Land 2. Note Mario's Japanese voice from that time: You will probably hear it again on this site.

I do not know what game is displayed in the ad.

The next one is a bit of a doozy.



A 7-minute ad showing off the Satellaview's abilities, with a lot more game examples.

The games featured in the ad include some obvious ones, like BS Zelda and BS Dragon Quest, as well as some not-so-obvious ones, like BS Marvelous.

And then there's ones that, from my perspective, have faded into a bit more obscurity...

BS Satellaview Bass Tournament Big Fight
BS Fushigi no Dungeon: Torneko no Daibouken
BS Monopoly 2

And a few more. These games have not appeared as ROM dumps in my searches, nor have I found much media on them other than a scant few screengrabs. I'd appreciate contributions of info.

But anyway, back on the subject...

There were quite an amount of print ads as well. What I have of them aren't good scans (or meant to be - I took these off auction sites, assumedly trying to sell the ads.), but they should get this job done.
