Konami, did actually release games based on the M2 Hardware. How close that was to what would have
been in the home console version, I simply don’t know. However, you can experience these arcade games
using MAME. Looking at the visuals, the M2 would have been an interesting system…

So these images appeared on the Japanese 3DO
Magazine’s Disk 9
At a show in Osaka, Japan,
between 17th and 21st
October '95 there was a
showcase of 3DO M2
technology.
Back in the day, I got a lot of my 3DO gossip, tips, tricks
and information on a usenet group. Notably
rec.games.video.3do. And any teeny morsel of
information was ravaged by the 3DO faithful. M2, so
we were told, and there were pictures to back this up,
was an add-on for the existing 3DO. The bickering was
intense on this subject both for and against. Those for
the idea said that another £200 for an add-on, with
backwards comparability and enough power to upset a
Playstation was a good thing. Those on the side
pointed at Sega’s 32X and shook their heads.
Eventually the add-on faded and a fully fledged
console started to emerge. What we got to see in the
likes of Edge Magazine, was a console that looked like
the machine I own. The FZ-21. There was a couple of
flavours, a white one and the one here. We were
expecting it to be released right up until the day it
wasn’t. And it was heart breaking.
D2 by Warp was the game most anticipated, that
IMSAI racing. Various video’s were released
