I'd love to hear more about how Philips managed to get Nintendo over a barrel on use of their characters though - Nintendo is one of the tightest creative IP holders in the world at this point, maybe their experience with Philips pushed them towards that?

The PlayStation was actually the second PlayStation, with a deal between Philips and Sony to jointly produce it blown by Nintendo. The result of which being Philips able to use Nintendo licenses in limited ways, and Sony hating Philips.
