Template:Company-infobox Phillips Media are responsible for creating one of the biggest commercial failures of all time, the Phillips CD-i. The CD-i had one Mario game, Hotel Mario.

History with Nintendo

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 Legend of Zelda games were released: Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and 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 SNES, 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.
