An internal system used by Nintendo of America in the late 1990s was the "Manufacturer's Authorized Returns Information Online" system, or "MARIO system".

No details about its operation are known, but it is notable that Nintendo made efforts to give whimsical names even to parts of their operation that had no relation to the public and would not be appreciated by an audience.

There were 15 Nintendo titles planned for the CD-i?!

So earlier today, I got a batch of archived newspaper articles from @generic-toy-shit-fucker that relate to the CD-i Nintendo games. Most of them were neat pieces about the initial deal involving character licensing and the SNES CD addon, but one was different.

The March 1993 issue of Folio had an interview with Bernard Luskin, the head of Philips Interactive Media of America (PIMA). Most of the interview was about the future of the CD-i (and CD-ROM media in general) as well as PIMA and Philips, though there was one mention of the CD-i Nintendo games:

According to Leskin, there were "some 15" Nintendo titles for the CD-i at this point in time. It's a bit hard to tell if Leskin is exaggerating or not, since we only know of seven (the main four + the three titles detailed in this section) and the number he gave isn't exact.

However, the Donkey Kong title for the CD-i wasn't confirmed until that LinkedIn entry and the subsequent interviews with RSP staff, both of which were rather recent...

There is a chance that there are even MORE unreleased CD-i Nintendo games than initially thought, though it's hard to tell unless we had, like, internal PIMA documents detailing each and every title.
