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 Wii version of Golfer Ape is a golf game that reproduces the content of the original manga and animation. The original is a golf manga produced by Japanese cartoonist Fujiko Fujio A. The protagonist is often called "ape" because he looks like a monkey. In the game version, players have to compete with assassins organized by Shadow Golf in the natural environment. The various nirvana skills that appeared in the original work also have a very gorgeous performance in the game. Using the somatosensory operation of the Wii remote control, players will be able to experience a very realistic feeling of hitting the ball during the game.
