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

A gigantic space explosion sends two strange meteors crashing to Earth, the call goest out and Mega Man speeds to the site. There he sees his arch-rival, Dr. Wily, fleeing the scene, clutching one of the mysterious metallic meteors. Now Mega Man must uncover the secret of the second meteor in a race to stay one step ahead of Dr. Wily and his new deadly breed of super-powered robots. With the whole cast assembled for Mega Man's 32-bit debut and an exclusive onscreen Mega Man 8 Japanese art collection, the 10th anniversary edition is the ultimate mega package, the Blue Bomber's back!
