The Cancelled Console: 3DO M2 Games Can Be Emulated In MAME

The canceled old console's retro games can be emulated on a beefy PC by using MAME emulator. The retro games run at lower speeds than 100%.

That's amazing. Both the esoterica and the fact you have two Nuons.

darthv721027d ago

I still have the 3do, its the only place to play way of the warrior (non emulated).

ND should reboot that game.

WiiU-Dude1027d ago

I still have my 3DO and yes, having Way of the Warrior is a must!!!

Father__Merrin1026d ago

I had that I used to keep rebooting to listen to opening intro. The talking skull had a really creepy voice.

Game was rubbish though hit detection and lol @ shakey jake lol

Still have mine as well. Mostly played Super SF2 and Samurai Showdown on it. 3DO had the best SF port when I got it and since I didn’t have a Neo Geo it was the best place for me to play Samurai Showdown.

I also have a nice collection of FMV games, but they are all awful. They looked great in video game magazines at the time (graphics), but the gameplay is horrid lol.

Yes really wanted this bit of hardware, had the Panasonic 3DO. Great system unfortunately never seen its potential, along with M2.

I remember thinking how amazing the M2 games looked. Smooth gourad shading, no pop up, “high” poly counts. I knew I was never gonna own one, but man it looked good.

Unless we're talking loops 3+, contra does not belong on this list. Loop one I've done without losing a life.

And yes I am extremely biased as contra, super C and Contra 3: the alien wars are three of my favorite games.

Add punch out, Fester's Quest, Blaster Master, Solomon's key, and adventure island.

I cannot beat battletoads, Solomon's key or adventure island even with emulators and save states.

We Let Online Gaming Kill Couch Co-Op. Bring Back Split-Screen Games

It’s time game developers stop ignoring one of the most beloved features in gaming history: split-screen couch co-op. I miss it!

It's a shame to me that so few indie devs seem interested in catering to this era (split screen era) of nostalgic gaming. Many of them are interested in retro gaming, obviously, but almost all of them seem to drift either to platformers or Metroidvanias (no issue with either, there have just been so many). I'd love to see an indie dev really try to capture that late N64/PS1 through early Xbox/PS2/GameCube era of split screen gaming.
