Sega Saturn M2: The Facts

So, here's the question of the year. What exactly is going on in Sega? Well, let's look at our facts:

1. Sega has confirmed to us that the next hardware out of them will be a "hardware only upgrade to the Saturn using the expansion port."

2. 3DO has confirmed to us that Sega and Matsushita are in talks currently. What the talks are about is still unconfirmed although speculation abounds.

3. Trip was going door-to-door in 1995, from company to company, trying to talk companies into adopting the M2 format as a standard.

4. From a reliable source, we've had indicated to us that two programmers from Sega are currently working on M2 software development. To what end though is unclear, be it a 3DO M2 or a potential (and rumored!) Saturn M2 upgrade.

Of course, #4 in this list is technically still a rumor, eventhough in house we're fairly certain that the information is true. In fact, for those of you who are curious, check out this picture that was passed onto us from one of our sources. Supposedly, (NOTE rumor alert) this image is a character render generated from work on a M2 port of Virtua Fighter 2.



This image is of Pai from Virtua Fighter 2, and is possibly from the rumored M2 software development being conducted by Sega.
