RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures brings the series into the next gen – combining classic RCT gameplay with the modernized user experience of RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch, all customized for the unique features of the Switch.

Created by legendary game developer Chris Sawyer, RollerCoaster Tycoon is one of the most popular and instantly recognizable gaming franchises in the world, and now investors and fans alike have the opportunity to become an integral part in the development of the first ever RollerCoaster Tycoon game for the Nintendo Switch.

Since RollerCoaster Tycoon’s initial release on Windows PC in 1999, the franchise has been a favorite for gamers, with an immensely active community surrounding it. The mobile version of RollerCoaster Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, received a top-5 positioning for paid apps on the app store, and the free-to-play 3D mobile edition of the game, RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch, has garnered more than 12 million downloads. The franchise has moved more than 14 million units worldwide and generated in excess of $220 million USD in revenue in the United States alone.

The current features of RollerCoaster Tycoon on the Nintendo Switch include, but are not limited to:

  • 3 Game Modes - Campaign, Scenario, and Sandbox:
    • Tycoon Campaign Mode – The main mode of the game: Research and discover wild new rides and attractions, expand your land, and grow from a humble park to an Amusement Empire!
    • Scenario Mode – Complete 16 tricky objectives with specific time limits and other constraints. Each scenario has 3 difficulty levels and rewards to unlock.
