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.

How it feels

A chaotic multiplayer race where every stumble and object toss keeps the action frantic and silly.

What players say

Players say Nippon Marathon 2 is a worthy early-access sequel that keeps the chaotic, hilarious party-game feel of the original while upgrading graphics and adding a character creator. The catch is that with only three stages and four characters, content feels thin, and players are waiting for more maps and online multiplayer before recommending a purchase.
