| − | 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.

However, several games and miscellaneous software have surfaced since, such as "''IMSA Racing''", "''PonPonLand''" and "''VizHouse''".
