Nintendo Power (But not the one you're thinking of) - Dark Jaguar - 3rd October 2024
I knew about Satelliview, but I wasn't aware of the specifics of another late Super Famicom idea. Nintendo Power wasn't a magazine in Japan, it was a kiosk that allowed certain rewritable cartridges to store a number of copied games on it. The whole history is fascinating, especially hearing that apparently a lot of Japanese game studios at the time were trying to outlaw "used games" themselves. Geez... Corporate culture in Japan is in some ways even more customer hostile than in the U.S.
