The '''Panasonic M2''', also known as '''3DO M2''' or simply '''M2''', is a 64-bit, fifth-generation home video game console meant to be released by Matsushita (Panasonic) in 1997. Developed by The 3DO Company, M2 featured a CPU comprised of dual PowerPC 602s clocked @ 66 MHz, alongside a custom ASIC chip codenamed "Bulldog", which handled several audiovisual elements.

After system specifications were sold to Matsushita in early 1997, the company made a deal with Konami to produce arcade hardware based on the specifications (See [[Konami M2|'''Konami M2''']]).
 +

Despite this, plans for release of the home console were canceled in mid 1997, and in October of the same year, Matsushita started marketing the M2 hardware for use in other markets, such as interactive kiosks. However, several games and miscellaneous software have surfaced since, such as "''IMSA Racing''", "''PonPonLand''" and "''VizHouse''".
