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

Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima - Zengohen (Famicom Fairytales: New Island of Ogres - Part 1+2) is a game that ports both Part 1 (Zenpen) and Part 2 (Kouhen) games from the original Famicom Disk System releases to be played as a complete game. This version was first released on the Wii Virtual Console, but the first time that both parts were ported together was in the Famicom Mini Series for the Game Boy Advance.
