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

Rule the streets in this big-time baller game, based on the console arcade-style NBA game. Take on the biggest stars of the NBA in full Street style, battle it out with a 3-on-3 game, or go on the ultimate quest to become a Street legend in the King of the Court mode. Create your own Baller and add your personal style. Two unique PSP modes feature unique gameplay for the portable -- earn style points in Shot Blocker and Arcade Shootout modes and enhance your status as the game’s newest street legend. Wireless head-to-head play allows you to go one-on-one against a friend in the original Pick Up game mode, while Party Play lets up to four players can compete in two high-flyin’ game modes, Shot Blocker and Arcade Shootout, using one PSP.
