n-Space discusses the delay for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D

A few days ago, we found out that Atari had pushed back RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D to an unspecified date. This wasn’t a development-related issue, as n-Space had completed the game some time ago.

The studio has offered a few comments about the situation on their Facebook page. Strangely, they don’t know why Atari delayed the release of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D. The title was approved by Nintendo of America last month, so this move might just be a marketing move.

n-Space said:

“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. …I don’t know any more about Atari’s reasons. Publishers face many, many considerations when releasing a game – timing, marketing support, distribution, etc. Making a good game is only a small part of the bigger battle of releasing a successful product.”
