Philips has responded to fans of their CD-i system, who wish to see a classic version much like Nintendo and Sony’s retro collection consoles. To my surprise, it wasn’t a flat-out no.
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. 🙂

As you can see, Philips suggests that they may actually be exploring the idea, which seems like complete insanity. That said, if Hotel Mario and the classic CD-i Zelda titles somehow manage to make it on the system, then it would still be a day one purchase for me, though the chances of Nintendo letting that happen would have to be around zero.
