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

Battles of Prince of Persia is the first game in the Prince of Persia franchise to make its way onto the Nintendo DS. The storyline takes place in the time between the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Unlike other entries, this game is about tactical combat, as you must control armies using the Prince, and a number of generals, via playable trading cards. There are nine different playable characters, 27 different units to control, and three different factions. Multiplayer is available for competition, with one copy of the cartridge capable of being shared among multiple players.
