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

Street Fighter Alpha Anthology is a compilation that collects the Street Fighter Alpha series with a remixed version of the console-exclusive Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix. The original Street Fighter Alpha, Alpha 2, Alpha 3 and Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix are ported from their original arcade releases, while Alpha 2 Gold is a remixed version that combines elements from the previous console version and the Japanese arcade release Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha. Two secret games are also included in this compilation.

What players say

A solid, arcade-faithful bundle of the whole Alpha series that fighting fans treasure, though earlier entries feel redundant and the default pad cries out for an arcade stick; seen as a good nostalgic package that some call yet another Capcom repackage.
