Rollercoaster Tycoon 3DS admits thrillseekers on Oct. 16
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3DS has finally gotten its release date. Starting October 16, Atari will put roller coasters all up in your face and allow you to build and trade parks via StreetPass. Europe and Australasia will get their turn on October 26.
The 3DS Rollercoaster Tycoon game has been something of a mystery. Initially announced as a 2012 release, it was quiet for most of the year, with developer n-Space offering no indication of an official launch date as recently as July.
The 3DS game features first-person coaster rides, of course, as well as a new "Coaster Story" mode that takes players through both tutorials and challenges wrapped up into a narrative.
