3DO M2 Fun! A Cancelled Console’s Best Game! In 4K
85Everyone knows the 3DO video game console...but not everyone knows about the cancelled 3DO M2! I have been doing my best to bring this rare and obscure retro gaming platform to everyone...and today I have something extra special...a revisit of Total Vice in 4K four years after I originally talked about it on the channel. It's one of the rarest video games ever made and video game development history all rolled up into one! Konami nailed it with this one! Cancelled retro game console fun incoming!

People on the internet will tell you that the Panasonic FZ-21 is a prototype 3DO M2 console...and that would be wrong. It's actually a product Panasonic / Matsushita sold at retail as an interactive kiosk unit ala the Philips CD-I. Unlike the CD-I...this actually has games you would want to play...because this is just the 3DO M2 console in it's final hardware iteration...except not released as a games console! But that won't stop it from playing SOME games today...and hopefully a LOT more in the future! and the same with the Panasonic FZ-35S which is also a 3DO M2
THIS IS THE FULL GAME
Gaming is filled with obscure hardware but it does NOT get any more obscure than this! (ok MAYBE SNES CD) It took me ten years of active searching to find an FZ-21S1TK...but I found it and now I get to show you all! It would have been amazing to see M2 take on PS1, Nintendo 64 and even Dreamcast.
But it did become an arcade board from Konami with Battle Tryst, Heat of Eleven 98, Total Vice, Evil Night and my fav game on the platform...Tobe! Polystars!
