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

Mainichi Issho Portable is the PlayStation Portable version of Mainichi Issyo, but has removed some features like customizing your Nyavatar, but it's mostly able to be played offline (presumably because of the PSP being a handheld system, thus having a different kind of online connection compared to the PlayStation 3.) After the service ended in 2009, the console version was made inaccessible, although the PSP version is still playable in a limited form. The console version can also be played in a limited form offline through emulation by forcing a PlayStation Network connection, although all its online features are inaccessible.
