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

Block Kuzushi 2 is a good breakout game that can be played by 2 players in cooperative or VS mode. The game is the sequel to Block Kuzushi (released as Block Buster in Europe) and this one wasn't released outside Japan. The game offers some interesting special moves like the one in which you can hit the ball with effect pressing a button.
