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

Captain Tsubasa VS is a soccer RPG/Strategy hybrid that plays out in a cinematic perspective. The game is based on the popular Japanese manga/anime of the same name and was released exclusively to Japan. As the game's title states, the game has a versus mode, which allows two Game Boys to be linked for 2-player versus play. Captain Tsubasa VS is a prequel to the first Famicom game and plays identical to other Captain Tsubasa games published by Tecmo.
