    It's definitely not a Bandai unit. There's no Bandai logo ANYWHERE. It's, as Kyuusaku was saying, Broadcast Satellaview.

    I think the confusion comes from the machine being referred to as "Bantai-Satellaview" in many websites. I have no idea whether "Bantai" means something similar to Broadcast. I have no idea if it was really "Bantai" (I don't know where that comes from). But it's not Bandai, that's definitely true.

    They (Bandai) did make a cart similar to the BSX rom cart, though, where you could put little carts with Sailor Moon, DBZ, or Gundam games, though - and they made lots of crazy crap back then, so that's another cause for confusion...

    Edit
    Also...guess what's the first thing that pops up if you google "satellaview"?

    Heh.

    And this one has good info about it.

    That's because it's mostly off the Wikipedia, which has an insane amount of information about video game junk!
