M2 Brings M2ShotTriggers To Arcades With Ultimate Tiger
M2 has built M2ShotTriggers as a home reprint label, and putting the same launcher software into game centers tests whether its assist tools and beginner mode carry over to an arcade setting.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
M2 announced M2ShotTriggers ARCADE at its 10th anniversary event on October 10, 2026, an arcade launcher for Sega's ALL.Net P-ras MULTI Version 3 (APM3) platform. Toaplan's Ultimate Tiger is the first release, splitting its ten stages into two five-stage courses, with M2 Gadgets and a SUPER EASY mode. Operation at APM3 locations nationwide begins October 15.
The launcher runs on Sega's ALL.Net P-ras MULTI Version 3, the same arcade board family M2's reprint brand now targets. Ultimate Tiger, developed by Toaplan in 1987, is a vertically scrolling shooter where players pilot an attack helicopter, and it follows 1985's Tiger Heli.
The arcade version keeps the M2ShotTriggers toolkit: M2 Gadgets for strategy support and SUPER EASY mode, which adds player ship upgrades, auto bomb, reduced enemy attacks, and difficulty fluctuation. The ten stages are split into two sets, stages 1 through 5 and 6 through 10.
