This was just strange. Between 1993 and 1995, Nintendo allowed for Philips to make games using Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda. I’ve touched on the Zelda games on the Philips CD-i console before. It was a console that looked like a VCR with a controller and while it had some a few decent games made by the company for the console, the Nintendo-licensed games were bad.

There was really no reason for these games to be made but there they are, all four of them. The working relationship with Philips and the bad games didn’t hurt Nintendo at all since the Super Nintendo was still doing well.
