The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Released in Japan as "Magical Drop III + Wonderful" and in Europe simply as "Magical Drop III", this version packages Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou! with a console port of Magical Drop Plus 1! The game features a slightly slower gameplay pace than the Japanese version, omits the "Arcade" version and gallery from the Japanese release, and translates the game's script into multiple languages. Unlike previous versions released outside of Japan, this game retains the Japanese voice work; similarly, the port of Magical Drop Plus 1! is based on the Japanese version instead of Chain Reaction.
