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 tense, high-skill duel where every input matters and each round feels like a tactical clash between polished fighters.

What players say

Players love the fighting itself but say this port is broken because it depends on the defunct Games for Windows Live service, making saving impossible and online play dead. Everyone agrees you should buy Ultra Street Fighter IV which has more content, better balance, and works on Steam. Some are also furious that Capcom added DRM long after release.
