n-Space’s third 3DS project has been revealed. The latest issue of Nintendo Power has announced that the company is working on RollerCoaster Tycoon for 3DS. Atari will be publishing the title in March 2012.
For the first details about the game, read on below.
– Coasters will be shown in 3D
– Touchscreen controls available
– Game has been built from the group up
– New assets for 3DS
– Some coaster designs: suspended, hydraulic, wooden, steel and inverted
– Monorails, prebuilt kiddie rides, carousels and county fair-style attractions are some other rides
– Give parks themes including a haunted house
– Manage ride construction/park maintenance
– Players can hire/manage staff (janitors, mechanics are two examples)
– Multiplayer: Coaster Creator, Sandbox
– Tutorials available
– Coaster Story: Learn about how to play the game with tutorials/scenarios
– Adviser in the game will identify in-part objectives and show players their progress
Update: It seems that the latest issue of Nintendo Dream is already available, though it only contains the two details below.
Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft will supposedly be sharing the first details on their next project in an issue of Nintendo Dream. There are just two few details about the title so far. Speculation indicates that it will be an RPG for the 3DS and will be the third entry in a series.
As someone who absolutely loved Baten Kaitos, I can’t help but wish that the announcement is in regards to Baten Kaitos 3. A Baten Kaitos DS game was in development at one point before being mysteriously cancelled. The series is viewed highly in the eyes of critics, but neither game sold particularly well.
A rumored online survey from Disney seems to indicate that Epic Mickey to is on the way. A few possible boxarts were displayed along with a few name choices: Epic Mickey 2: Return of the Mad Doctor, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Epic Mickey 2: Mystery on Mean Street, and Epic Mickey 2.
This time around, the sequel will end up on Wii, along with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A 2-player split screen mode is planned in which the player could control Mickey Mouse or Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. The survey says that Oswald will be able to “fly like a helicopter” and use electricity to “fight or friend” foes.
That’s assuming the survey is real of course. I have a feeling it is given the commercial success Epic Mickey has experienced.
