RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition Is A HD Upgrade, And It’s Coming To Switch

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is coming back, with a Complete Edition release coming to PC (via both Steam and Epic) and Switch. This version of the game will feature HD graphics, although it’s not necessarily a full remaster.

Both previous expansions, Soaked! and Wild!, will also be included, giving you more options for how you build up your park. The game will launch September 24, so you won’t have to wait long for it.

You can check out footage in the trailer below.

This isn’t the first time RollerCoaster Tycoon has spread its tracks on the Switch, though–RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures released in 2018 to mixed reviews.

In GameSpot’s original review of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, the game received a 7.8/10 verdict. “Unfortunately, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 managed to ship with a number of glaring bugs that can make your park feel a bit lifeless, even when there are hundreds of peeps roaming about,” wrote reviewer Jason Ocampo–hopefully the new version is relatively bug-free.

Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Champions Amiibo Are Getting A Reprint

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Series Gets New Details, Will Be Episodic

While contemporary television series typically take a whole season to tell a story, the upcoming CBS ALL Access Star Trek show Strange New Worlds will be taking a different approach, by utilizing episodic storytelling.

During the Star Trek Day panel for the show, the cast and crew of Strange New Worlds discussed what we can expect from the new series. “It’s a ship, and it’s traveling to strange new worlds, and we’re gonna tell big ideas, science fiction adventures, in an episodic mode, so we have room to kind of meet new aliens, see new ships, visit new cultures,” explained executive producer Henry Alonso Myers.

However, while the show will be episodic, there will still be carryover from one episode to the next via character arcs. An example Myers uses is if someone falls in love, but that all falls apart by the end of the episode, that will still weigh on him in future episodes, bringing “modern character sensibility to the classic episodic storytelling.”
