The classic RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise could come to Switch, but Atari is looking for some help to make it possible. Today, the company started a campaign on the equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine. The campaign appears to have a minimum goal of $10,000.

As for the new RollerCoaster Tycoon game itself, it will be the classic simulation gameplay that the series is known for. Atari is also promising the following features:

– Multiple Scenarios – Complete tricky objectives with specific time limits and other constraints.
– Sandbox Mode with Various Landscapes – Create the park of your dreams with unlimited time and unlimited resources.
– Tycoon Career Mode – Expand your park and grow your Amusement Empire.

For a look at the StartEngine campaign, head on over here. The campaign will run for three months. We’ll keep track of this one going forward.

Thanks to Mucrush for the tip.

Dragon Quest XI could have taken an open-world approach. In an interview with DenfaminicoGamer, series creator Yuji Horii said that the idea was considered towards the start of development.

Dragon Quest XI has a little bit of open-world gameplay, but is still based on the franchise’s linear approach. Horii said that some players might have a difficult time understanding what to do next in an open-world, and creating a big story would be difficult.

Here’s the full exchange between Horii and DenfaminicoGamer, as translated by Siliconera:

Darkest Dungeon arrived on Switch last week. Before you dive into the Crimson Court DLC, you should be aware that it can’t be completed as things stand now.

The bug here is that The Courtyard dungeon starts over from the beginning when players leave and later return. Because of its difficulty and the fact that this particular dungeon was designed for players to make multiple trips, it’s essentially impossible to finish. That’s on top of a gameplay element involving a disease that spreads among your party if they don’t defeat bosses in the Courtyard.

Fortunately, Red Hook Studios is on the case, and a patch has already been submitted to Nintendo. The company has confirmed that the update will also address a problem relating to the controls.

Super Mario Run has received another small update. The latest patch upgrades the mobile title to version 3.0.8.

Today’s update makes one small but helpful change for experienced but new Super Mario Run players. For the opening tutorial, Nintendo has added in a “Skip” button. We assume that means you no longer need to go through the tutorial if you’re a seasoned gamer.
