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 board game Ponjan Wii adapts the rules of Mahjong simply for WiiWare. The rule is that participating players will only exchange one of the nine tiles in order with the tiles in the mountain. The player who achieves 3 "sets" consisting of the same 3 tiles first will be the winner.
