Atari has announced a new RollerCoaster Tycoon game built specifically for the Nintendo Switch. RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures will arrive Dec. 13 (Nov. 29 in Europe). Watch the reveal trailer above.

RollerCoaster Tycoon features three game modes: Adventure mode, Scenarios, and Sandbox. Adventure mode features a new Event System that offer choices and challenges as you make your way through the campaign.

Over 120 rides, shops, and amenities are available to suit your guests’ needs, along with a streamlined coaster builder for building seven different types of coasters. Four themed locations are provided: Alpine, Moon, Canyon, and Tropics, along with tools to manipulate the environment.

The Switch game will support Joy-Con as well as touchscreen controls. It runs at 1080p docked and 720p in handheld mode.

RollerCoaster Tycoon adventures is developed by Nvizzio Creations, the same studio behind the RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch mobile game.

If you have fond nostalgia of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon games, Atari has you covered. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was ported to mobile in 2015 by Planet Coaster developer Frontier Developments. It was given touchscreen controls but keeps the great gameplay.

In 2016 Atari partnered with original series creator Chris Sawyer to produce RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, a successful re-imagining of the first two games. It’s available on both mobile and PC.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures will arrive on Switch on Dec. 13.
