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 fast-paced arcade fighting game with technical depth and competitive versus play, brought to modern platforms with online rollback netcode.

What players say

Players praise this as a classic SNK fighter with a huge roster and polished yet experimental gameplay, but some say the physics feel dated compared to other SNK games from the era. The online population is very small, and a few mention bugs like a missing hitbox on Billy Kane. Players would like to see more Neo Geo classics ported with the same rollback netcode.
