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 brisk, comedic arcade fighter that keeps battles light, quirky, and quick-paced rather than serious or punishing.

About

Shin Goketsuji Ichizoku: Bonnou Kaihou is the sixth installment in the series and serves as something of a sequel to Matrimelee, although like Power Instinct Legends, it's also not a proper sequel to the main series, and could be said to be a port or an "update" of Matrimelee. Unlike the other sequels in the series, Bonnou Kaihou is the first one to be made exclusively for a console.
