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

Let's practice ninjutsu (mini game) at Ninjutsu Gakuen! The game is divided into a "training volume" and a "competition volume". In "Training Volume", you can choose your favorite character from Rantaro, Kirimaru, and Shinpei to play the game. Each shinobi has its own characteristics, so let's identify and challenge each individuality! In "Battle Volume", you can play CPU battles and 2P battles using communication cables. The number of characters that can be used increases with the "Training Volume". There are five types of games: "jumping", "gunning", "shuriken", "foot rowing", and "swimming".
