Way back in September 2020, Rollercoaster 3: The Complete Edition was released onto the Nintendo Switch by the then owners Frontier Developments. This version of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 contained both expansions as well as various improvements and upgrades to the original game that was released in 2004.
Since Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: The Complete Edition was released, the ownership of Rollercoaster Tycoon has been sold by Frontier Developments to Atari.
Atari have now announced that Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic is to be releasing on the Nintendo Switch on 5th December 2024. Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic is not just the first game in the series, but also its successor.
While we are excited about being able to play the first two games in the Rollercoaster Tycoon series on the Nintendo Switch, it’s important to remember that these are over twenty years old and although there’s improvement to both UI and controls, there’s only so much that can be done without effectively remaking the game.
