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

Create your ideal fighting game using the customizable interface. Choose between RPG-style and "virtual" tournament combat. The game has over 20 different characters and 200 different items. Save your characters on a Controller Pak and play them against your friends! While the Western version calls the two distinct game styles as "modes", the original Japanese version calls them as "games" in the in-game options, and as "games" and "modes" on advertisements.
