The BS-X Broadcasting System was an add-on piece of equipment for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo gaming systems. The "BS-X" stood for "Broadcast Satellite X[1]".
The BS-X would be connected to the St. GIGA satellite station between 4:00-7:00 PM. [citation needed] During this time, a player could download and play games. The BS-X system broadcasted for 5 years, up until June 2000.
The Legend of Zelda games that were released were BS The Legend of Zelda, BS The Legend of Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets, and BS The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods.
Trivia

- Similarly, the Second Quest's dungeons spell "NiNtENDO".
