In 1998, Nintendo planned to abandon the Satellaview. St.GIGA, wanting to prolong the service further, kept it up for 2 more years. However, since they could no longer have new Nintendo content, it was not long before they were ran out of material and popularity.
St.GIGA pulled the plug on the Satellaview on June 20, 2000. None of their work before or afterward was tied to video games.
St.GIGA eventually went out of business. Recent attempts to re-broadcast their old content have been revoked by the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs.
