		Bandai has nothing to do with it, it's "Broadcast Satellaview." There are actually around 30 original titles if you don't count downloadable magazines and most of them are already dumped.
		The story I had always heard was that the same group responsible for breaking the time limit and changing the Satellaview mascot to the Link sprite also hacked in the last few dungeons using tilesets from BS Zelda and the 'floor plan', as it were, from the original.
		As for the whole thing about Bandai, if you'l notice in the un-hacked versions of the rom Link is not present at all, and instead has been replaced by a selectable boy and girl.

	Hyrule Times - Retrospective: BS Zelda
		The Super Famicom (SNES) was alive in kicking in Japan in the first half of the '90s, but as the story goes, technology ages quickly and the console was beginning to show its years as we approached the middle of the decade.
		The Satellaview unit itself includes 512K of memory (which allowed the Super Famicom to run the games), 256 Kbit of flash memory, and a 1-megabit ROM chip for the operating system.
		Although the BS games were exclusive to the Satellaview, and couldn't be found anywhere else, most of them were "Ura" or "remix" games available for limited periods of time.

		To explain how the Satellaview came about, we have to take a brief trip back to the events described in Hyrule Times Vol.
		Since the dungeon designs (and locations) were different from both the first and second quests, BS Zelda, in essence, was a "third" quest for the original game.
		In addition to the other changes, Link, the staple and hero of the Zelda franchise, was also replaced with the Satellaview mascot: a young boy with a backward baseball cap.

		As the name implies, the Japan-only Satellaview was capable of receiving Super NES games broadcast at a certain time from a special satellite channel (which otherwise had standard programming).
		However, some of the Satellaview games are still available for download out on the Internet; the most famous one is probably the remake of the original NES Zelda, with a new map and updated graphics.
		Also of note are some of the titles Squaresoft released for the Satellaview, including an official sequel to Chrono Trigger, entitled Radical Dreamers.

		The Zelda project was one of the first "Satellaview only" projects and Nintendo is hoping that this will attract a lot of players.
		The Satellaview is "going strong" and why shouldn't it when you can download some great NES classics boosted up to Super Nintendo System graphic standard.
		Due to the fact that the Satellaview service is no longer offered, and Nintendo has essentially dropped all support of the SNES hardware, the public's chances to play the complete game are slim.

		BS Zelda was released in a way that certain sections of the game could be downloaded once a week, with a time limit on how long you could play each episode.
		The dungeons are altered, the overworld is different, and instead of Link, you play as a little kid in a baseball cap, which I understand was the Satellaview mascot.
		Bumpus translated the in-game text, and this patch includes his work, and also includes Roto’s Beta One hack, and Damordred’s hack to replace the Satellaview kid with a nice little Link sprite.

		I would like to see updated versions of all those and more but only (and I think this should be a condition of ANY remake) if they include the original version as an unlockable.......
		I just wished they would refine those games (they had a time limit because they were broadcast to users that had the Bandai Sattalliview attachment), and re-release them on the GBA.
		Actually, I thought the japanese Famicom style GBA lookd even cooler...and btw, BS in BS Zelda stand for Bandai Satellaview, which was the satellite receiver add-on for SFC/SNES.

		The one downside was that the Satellaview was only released in Japan so the game was entirely in Japanese.
		You're right, but what's weird is I found a site that says Bandai made the Satellaview and Phillips was working with Nintendo to make the replacement for the Playstation, and obviously never made it out the door.
		The Bandai Satellaview attachment, was an add-on similar to the Sega Channel.
