'''{{wp|Philips|Royal Philips Electronics}}''' (often known simply as '''Philips''') is a Dutch consumer electronics company. Among other inventions, Philips co-created the {{wp|compact disc}} format with future [[Nintendo]] rival {{wp|Sony}}, and from this, Philips developed the [[Philips CD-i]], a failed multimedia device based around the capabilities of the format. The Philips CD-i had one game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', although ''[[Super Mario's Wacky Worlds]]'', ''[[Mario Takes America]]'', and a ''Donkey Kong'' game were also licensed but never released.

==History with Nintendo==
{{NIWA|StrategyWiki=Category:Philips Interactive Media}}
With the home market exhausted, Philips tried with some success to position the technology as a solution for kiosk applications and industrial multimedia. The console still maintains a cult following on the Internet. One CD-i ''Mario'' game (titled ''Hotel Mario''), and three CD-i ''[[The Legend of Zelda (cartoon)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games were released: ''[[zeldawiki:Link:_The_Faces_of_Evil|Link: The Faces of Evil]]'', ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda:_The_Wand_of_Gamelon|Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'', and ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda%27s_Adventure|Zelda's Adventure]]''. [[Nintendo]] and Philips had established an agreement to co-develop a CD-ROM enhancement for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (after Nintendo and Sony scrapped a previous deal on an earlier add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which would eventually result in the creation of the PlayStation), and Philips was contractually allowed to continue using Nintendo characters after the deal fell through.


With the home market exhausted, and having already found substantial success with the CD as a music distribution format, Philips tried with some success to position the CD-i as a solution for kiosk applications and industrial multimedia. One CD-i game of the ''Super Mario'' franchise (titled ''Hotel Mario'') and three CD-i games of the series ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' were released: ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Link: The Faces of Evil}}'', ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon}}'', and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Zelda's Adventure}}''. Nintendo and Philips had established an agreement to co-develop {{iw|nwiki|SNES-CD|a CD-ROM enhancement}} for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (after Nintendo and Sony scrapped a previous deal on an earlier add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which would eventually result in the creation of the PlayStation), and Philips was contractually allowed to continue using Nintendo characters after the deal fell through.
In 2014, Philips announced its intent to sue Nintendo to ban sales of the [[Wii U]] in North America. Philips asserted it had patents on motion sensor and motion control technology, the latter of which was also used by the [[Wii]] console.<ref>Mike Mahardy. (May 14, 2014).
