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

The game that spawned more than 15 others, Bomberman, returns to the Game Boy Advance with its unique combination of action and puzzle-solving. As the title character, you must blow up bricks and enemies on the battlefield in an effort to find the door to the next level. In each stage, you'll find power-ups that extend your blast radius. However, if you're caught in your own bomb blast, you must start the level over.
