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.

How it feels

A notoriously bare-bones WiiWare board-game title panned for its lack of content and a 19-second looping music track.

About

A 2009 Japan-only WiiWare title of the Jinsei Game series, it was critically panned by audiences for its poor quality, severe lack of content and options, and its single piece of in-game music that loops after 19 seconds. The game was made primarily by removing content from Jinsei Game Wii EX. The title was pulled from distribution in late 2010 to make way for a different WiiWare title, Jinsei Game Happy Step.
