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

The second of two DLC packs released for Ninja Gaiden (2004) for the Xbox. This one features the same additions as the first Hurricane Pack, such as free camera control and the Intercept technique which would be cut from later releases. While the first Hurricane Pack was a variation on the main campaign with new weapons and such, this one is a multi-phase gauntlet of enemies that would serve as the basis for the Mission Mode in Ninja Gaiden Black. Just as with the first Hurricane Pack, this is no longer available to download due to the closure of Xbox Live for the original Xbox in 2010. It is now only accessible through a modded Xbox system or a console that still contains a save file.
