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

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition was going to be a compilation of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles for the Sega Mega Drive. This would be similar to what happens when locking the two games together with Sonic & Knuckles' Lock-On Technology. It would essentially be Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, but it would have been contained in a single cartridge and thus probably would have had a cheaper price. It is unknown whether it would have had a port allowing for Lock-On Technology so compatibility with other cartridges is also unknown.
