The Nintendo Gamecube Soft e-Catalog 2003 Spring (known internally as Interractive Multi Game Disc May 2003 For Japan) is a promotional disk bundled with RUNE 2 (known as Lost Kingdoms 2 overseas), Family Stadium 2003, and Pokemon Box. It contains a playable demo for Viewtiful Joe, and trailers for Viewtiful Joe, Tales of Symphonia, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

This promotional disk touts a catalog of 115 games. Similar to other e-Catalog and demo disks, it also boasts a charming internet browser-styled navigation design. An internet browser, over 100 games to learn about, some trailers and a demo of Viewtiful Joe? What a great disk!

For some background information, I originally received this disk as a bonus gift alongside purchasing a copy of RUNE 2's demo disk. Also, while this disk has been shown to be dumped previously on redump, I couldn't find the dump online so I've posted it here. I hope you check it out!
