More Satellaview Radio, now with Dragon Quest… IX?

I actually have a lot of this one.

this strange radio program is 伊集院光の怪電波発信基地

Google translates the name of the program as “Mysterious Phone Calls”. I’ve heard from some translators I work with that the actual meaning implies that it’s a prank phone call show, but it seems quite a bit more random in that.

In particular, a segment of the show is apparently a skit called “Dragon Quest IX”. Wait, isn’t that gonna be on the DS soon? Wow, how time flies….

Game Toranoana Special.

NicoNicoDouga recently got up a new bit of Satellaview radio programming. I figured I’d put it up here, along with a little something else I found that’s related to it.

A frequent recurring radio host on the Satellaview’s “Super Famicom Hour” was called the “Game Toranoana”. It’s apparently based off Comic Toranoana, and the show features a lot of discussion.

This one, apparently a “Special”, makes frequent references to the Nintendo 64. When you think about it, it must be sad for these guys to have to advertise the console that was meant to usurp them. Well, at least the Satellaview lasted longer than Randnet did.

On top of this, special radio programming was produced. To have on content that catered to the interests of gamers, St. Giga’s radio shows during the Satellaview’s listening hours consisted of videogame news and discussion, along with the occasiaonal piece of pop music.
