Panasonic M2, earlier known as 3DO M2, is a multimedia terminal and cancelled video game console. It was initially developed by The 3DO Company as a peripheral chip for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer before turning into a standalone system. In January 1996, the technology was acquired by Matsushita (Panasonic)[1][2] who continued development before cancelling the game console altogether in 1997. The M2 technology was then incorporated into commercial-oriented devices including a Konami arcade board and in interactive kiosks.[3]
