This. Console. Is. Fail. Epic Fail.

CD-i, was orginally a CD verision of Nintendo's popular console SNES. The console was made by Philips. But some time in the middle of their work, Nintendo broke the cooperation with Philips. However, the console was realesed. The most famous games for the console was probably,the three Zelda games. The games got an incredible amount of criticism, the Zelda games didn't even count as a part in the series!

There have been a various different models of the CD-i, here are some:

The CD-i player 200 series, which includes the 205, 210, and 220 models. Models in the 200 series are designed for general consumption, and were available at major home electronics outlets around the world. The Philips CD-i 910 is the American version of the CD-i 205, the most basic model in the series.
The CD-i player 300 series, which includes the 310, 350, 360, and 370 models. The 300 series consists of portable players designed for the professional market and not available to home consumers.^{[clarification needed (not available?)]} A popular use was multimedia sales presentations such as those used by pharmaceutical companies to provide product information to physicians, as the devices could be easily transported by sales representatives.
The CD-i player 400 series, which includes the 450, 470, 490 models. The 400 models are slimmed-down units aimed at console and educational markets. The CD-i 450 player, for instance, is a budget model designed to compete with game consoles. In this version, an infrared remote controller is not standard but optional.
