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

Clu Clu Land D was originally released simply as Clu Clu Land (though the name in the title screen is Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New Clu Clu Land) for the Famicom Disk System, and is a port of VS. Clu Clu Land. The game would later be playable with the localized name as an unlockable in Animal Crossing, alongside the original Clu Clu Land.
