You cannot make an article like this and not mention the SatellaView, a freaking *satellite modem* for the Super Famicom... in the 90s. Let that sink in.
This article is about the NES expansion port though, so I'm a bit confused at why a Super Famicom peripheral is relevant? I agree the SatellaView is cool though...
That comment is even more bizarre given that there is a brief digression on the Super Famicom's expansion port which explicitly does mention the Satellaview.
