Royal Philips Electronics

Royal Philips Electronics (often known simply as Philips) is a Dutch company responsible for creating the failed Philips CD-i. The Philips CD-i had one Super Mario game, Hotel Mario, although Super Mario's Wacky Worlds, Mario Takes America and a Donkey Kong game were also licensed.

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 Super Mario game (titled Hotel Mario), and three CD-i The 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 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.
