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

It plays like a crisp, modernized revival of a classic 90s arcade fighter, focused on quick, competitive matches with responsive online play.

What players say

Players praise this as the best and most polished entry in the series, with a great port featuring arcade, versus, training, gallery, and rollback netcode. However, criticism focuses on heavy input delay making special moves unreliable, very difficult and input-reading CPU opponents, and many characters having broken infinite combos, while translations are described as terrible.
