A-Train All Aboard! Tourism update

Artdink has announced a new update for A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism, its sim title for Switch. It will come with a few different features and more.

Below are the full patch notes:

A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism

System: Switch
Release date: March 12, 2021
Developer: Artdink
Publisher: Artdink


The city simulator style of gameplay has been around since SimCity released on various platforms back in 1989. Since then, the formula has been used in a variety of ways to give players the chance to customize their own towns, homes, farms, and explore the concept of planning and managing bustling communities over the decades. Believe it or not though, A-Train’s series has been going on since before the Sim craze began, releasing its first game back in 1985 on the beloved NES among other platforms. Artdink’s long-running franchise has become a beloved staple of urban planning, and this release on Switch brings the storied history of the title to more people than ever before – but is will this management adventure become a tedious grind, or a relaxing past-time?

A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism

A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism was previously only confirmed as a Switch game for Japan, but a worldwide release was looking likely after English support was confirmed. It turns out that this was the case after all.

Artdink has announced that A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism will be released in North America and Europe this week. Additionally, a demo is now available on the eShop.

Here’s an overview of the game:

The last A-Train series game to appear on a Nintendo platform was A-Train 3D for 3DS back in 2014 / 2015. Today, developer Artdink revealed that a new entry is planned for Switch.

Specifics behind the new Switch project have not yet been shared. Artdink tweeted out the following, but nothing more:

Back in January, Neo Atlas 1469 was announced for Switch. We heard that Artdink would be releasing the simulation and exploration title in Japan on April 19.

Fortunately, Neo Atlas 1469 will be distributed in other regions as well. A listing on the European eShop reveals that a western release is planned. It’s likely digital-only, but the overseas launch appears to also be on track for April 19.
