RollerCoaster Tycoon fans rejoice! n-Space is developing an all-new iteration for 3DS...
The latest edition of Nintendo Power (via GoNintendo) has confirmed that an all-new RollerCoaster Tycoon game is being made for Nintendo 3DS.
Developed by n-Space, who are also busy working on Heroes of Ruin, the cult amusement park management-sim is being made ground-up for 3DS, with all new assets that will be exclusive to the system.
As well as the expected 3D graphics and touch-screen controls, RollerCoaster Tycoon on 3DS includes a number of coaster design options, including suspended, hydraulic, wooden, steel and inverted; plus rides like monorails, kiddie rides, carousels and county fair-style attractions. You can also build a park around a certain theme; the example given was a haunted house theme.
Conventional Tycoon features are a given - you'll have the ability to handle construction and maintenance, and hire staff like janitors and mechanics. But if you're new to the series, the 3DS game will also a number of tutorials; the story mode itself takes you through all the features as you go along.
RollerCoaster Tycoon on 3DS is due out in North America in March.
