In a rather surprising turn of events, Atari has set up a crowdfunding page on StartEngine to ask fans to help finance development for Rollercoaster Tycoon for Nintendo Switch. The campaign is open to US investors only and Atari has outlined that the $10,000 goal must be reached within three months. The StartEngine crowdfunding campaign will fund development for this original game made specifically for Switch. This latest entry into the world-renowned theme-park management series will contain exclusive features and allow even more gamers to experience the fun and creative freedom of building the ultimate theme park. You can invest in the campaign here.
And the minimum to pledge is $250… ouch.
Well this site does actual “investments” with a return instead of just crowdfunding, so I guess that makes sense.
Are you serious?
Welp, I guess we’re not getting a Roller Coaster Tycoon game for the Switch then.
Oh Atari. Where did it all go wrong?
It isn’t really Atari anymore. The name was sold long ago.
Bubsy happened. lol
I was about to jump all over his, until I realised it was the crappy Microtransactions one.
Seriously guys, don’t fund this, we don’t want this pile of trash on the Switch.
They want you to pay macrotransactions so that you can pay microtransactions. It’s the scam of all scams!
A bigger scam than NOT Battlefront 2 or No Man’s Lies.
Maybe they’ll put their corporate greed aside and remove the microtransactions. Miracles can happen.
THAT LIKE TO DISLIKE RATIO LOL! Seriously this is just a port of the IOS not a new RollorCoaster Tycoon which is a shame because I want to jump into this series.
just get planet coaster on steam or the old games in a sale. got the first 3 games with bonus content for 10 euro.
Also, WTF still supports these ancient and DEAD assholes anymore? lol
It’s the pay to win phone version. Good lord.
Aye. I was almost excited.
I hope this never releases. This sort of trash needs to stop!
||The Atarians, that ancient menace must be destroyed as soon as possible…||
Don’t worry commander… They are almost history. I remember when they were an Empire… Now the need crowdfunding for one of the best games of the late 90s-early 2000s… I’m right with the dates??
||I don’t really record that disgusting species in my system…||
They are Ancient ones… They deserve to be forgotten, they almost end with the Video Game industry with poor quality games for years. That’s until Nintendo came and reboot the Market.
I still didn’t forget what that Atari asshole recently said about Nintendo. Now the joke’s on him once the Switch started kicking ass.
Wait… is this the ORIGINAL tycoon, or the garbage smart phone TOUCH version?
I feel sad when I think about how great Atari once was, and then look at them now. I wonder why they never quite bounced back? I don’t see Nintendo EVER falling like Atari did.
}{ Erm… are they really that lacking in funding? This seems absurd even by peasanty standards… }{
Well, this is Atari. They’ve been “dead” for a while now.
Oh I forgot Atari still exists…somehow. XD
I would actually love a port of the first two, not really a fan of the ones that came after. (Yes, not being able to drown guests was half of my enjoyment)
lol

hahahaha
The first donation HAS to be over 200 bucks!?
