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

Tekkaman Blade is a 2D side-scrolling platform game where the player controls a mech and must find the exit to each level. The mech only has one melee weapon, but it can also use a special grappling hook, like in Ninja Gaiden Shadow, which is necessary to go through the levels. After the platforming part of the levels, the mech fights against a boss.
