Thank you very much for reminding us of the Philips CD-i! We appreciate the thought of a smaller, classic version of one of our legacy devices. :)

While I'm sure Nintendo would like to forget their deal with Philips for Mario and Zelda CD-i games, their fans will never let it happen. Recently a tweet circulated on social media featuring a request for a CD-i Classic, in the style of what Nintendo has done with the NES/SNES. Surprisingly, Philips actually responded to the request favorably. I doubt this would ever happen, and I can't see Nintendo every giving their blessing on including those games once again, but I guess stranger things have happened!
