Atari Releases RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D for Nintendo 3DS


The new game, which brings the hit RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise to a new generation on handheld gaming devices, is now headed to stores everywhere. Gamers who have been holding their breath during the long ascent can now experience the thrills of designing and managing their own theme park, and riding their own customized rollercoasters in first-person 3D.
The addictive blend of simulation and creativity in Chris Sawyer’s original RollerCoaster Tycoon and its sequels will be available at retail shortly for $29.99.

Developed by n-Space, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D recaptures the classic gameplay of the RollerCoaster Tycoon games that have delighted gamers since 1999, while tailoring the fun for the 3DS through an intuitive touch-screen interface and portable game sessions. Just as players will be challenged to craft an enjoyable experience for their in-game customers, the look and feel of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D has been designed to use the system’s features for smooth gameplay, including 3D graphics, park exploration via gyro sensors, and coaster-sharing abilities via StreetPass™.

New features exclusively for Nintendo 3DS include:

  • An entirely new gameplay mode called “Coaster Story”, which blends together tutorials and park challenges into a cohesive and entertaining narrative and offers players tons of special unlockable content
  • The first-person view for coaster rides fully immerses players with the innovative 3D display exclusive to Nintendo 3DS
  • The ability to freely customize the design of roller coasters and theme parks with the use of a stylus and the touch-screen interface
  • Just like at a real theme park, take a snapshot of yourself on a ride and share it with your friends
  • Gyro sensor allows players to look around their theme park by simply tilting their Nintendo 3DS
  • Create the ultimate coaster and easily share it with friends through StreetPass
  • Invite your Mii Plaza friends to your theme park
