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.

What players say

A gothic-horror fighter beloved as a stylish cult favorite for its monster-movie roster, expressive bright sprites and inventive mechanics; respected as one of Capcom's best 2D fighters even if it never reached Street Fighter fame.
