RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D is on hold, says Atari

32 Comments

According to a representative from Atari, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D, which was set for release in March, has been placed on hold. And, unfortunately, there was no reason given either, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.

    SUPER LAME! This is one of the few games that I am still looking forward to (considering most of them are unannounced in NA or already out)…

  • 3DSNERD

    i dont really care though any 3DS game being delayed is disappointing as there aren’t that many games to begin with.

    • Perry (MON on MK7)

      With all of the ambassador games, I am booked solid this whole year. I think that there are too many good games and that Nintendo should stop forcing me to give them money for their beautiful game crafting.

    • Zimmer Remmiz

      Not many games? look at this month alone RE Revelations, Tekken 3D, Tales of the Abyss, and Metal Gear Solid 3, no games my ass…

      ^ well yes they’re starting to pick up now, but last year it was a miracle to get even 2 good games released in one month. It all boils down to personal preference, you can’t assume every person is going to buy the same games. So far I’ve bought Nintendogs+Cats (It was fun at first, but got old real fast and I haven’t touched it since last July) Rayman 3D (which I haven’t played much, the gameplay and storyline are just odd in comparison to the original Rayman 2 it’s based off) Starfox 64 3D (which my stepbrother apparently stole and sold off) and Super Mario 3D Land ( received as a present for Christmas, it’s pretty damn awesome) Going to be careful with what I decide get this year, but definitely looking forward to plenty of the upcoming games.

    NOOOOOOO my life is ruin this is the game i been waiting for and now its on hold dam you Atari

  • Lazerith

    A shame. I’ve kinda been looking into getting back into rollercoaster tycoon. I’ve never played the third game… Just 1 and 2. How is 3 on the computer?

    • Mathew

      Pretty good. It has a nice sandbox mode and great customization. Even though my laptop is 1 year old, it still lags on occasions.

    • stephen

      i dont find number 3 that good. I prefer 2. 3 lags alot and i find that they were trying to be smart on the graphics too much. Chris Swayer was better at making 1 and 2.

    • millsy

      3 isn’t like 1 or 2 at all. 1 and 2 are the best but 3 let’s you ride on rollercoasters. I would prefer 1 or 2 but I don’t mind.

    • Zeem

      1 & 2 have their own feel to it as a true, isometric ‘Tycoon’ game. 3 is still very good though and well worth trying.

  • Total911

    WHAT THE HELL? THE ONE GAME I LOVE THAT IS IN RISK OF BEING CANCELLED AND IT’S NOT BEING WORKED ON? THIS IS NOT GOOD!

    • Newah

      VERY VERY BAD. OH SO BAD.

  • Adam

    I hope they make a service where you can make custom scenery! That would make it much better!

  • Crannynoko

    I hope you can go on a on screen “ride” with your made roller coasters!

  • Richard

    Think because of money. Atari is going not so well…

  • Han Solo

    I’m definitely getting the game, but not a huge deal. I hope they take their time.

  • Dae

    Aww! D: I was really looking forward to this! It better not get cancelled ohmygod.

  • SuperSherbet

    I hope this doesn’t get cancelled! I’ll have to support Atari by buying their DS retro compilations that came out in 2010.

  • supermariolinux

    aww, i wanted to get this in march :(

    hope it still comes out in 2012

  • Nelson

    All I hope is that it plays like 2. That game was the shiz.

  • Snowy day

    The game has finished development that’s what n-Space says on N-Space facebook they said

    We’re looking into this report now. News to us, since the game is done.

  • PoisoNFacecamO

    I swear to god, if they cancel this i will go down there and make them finish it!

  • millsy

  • yoyo

    OMG THIS SUCKS This is one of the very few games that i was looking for!!??

  • http://www.passid.ca/murphy blueeyes7

    Not upset at the fact that it’s been delayed. Really doesn’t surprise me at all, it’ll make for a better game in the long run. I just hope it’s not cancelled.. I’ve been looking forward to revisiting this series. Not sure how long it’s been since I last played this, but I remembering toying around with the first 2 on one of my friends’ computers when I was a toddler. It was really fun!

  • KING Z

    looks like im getting rid of my 3DS… KID ICARUS BETTER FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Snowyday

    Got a update from N-Space Facebook page

    Apparently Atari has delayed the release of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3D. Unfortunately, we first learned of this from the same reports as the rest of you. The game is complete and approved by Nintendo of America as of Jan 31 and we’re waiting for news of its approval in Europe.

    According to http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/29296 the game has been finished, and approved by NOA, may just be marketing. Game looks like a May release.
