Once I’d gotten used to the controls on RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and was whizzing through each park, smashing every goal that was set before me, I started to enjoy it more and more. Though one thing that couldn’t be solved so easily was the terrible camera controls. ![]() You do get used to it in time, but it did take some time, though maybe it was just me being old and used to the old PC controls. But, sadly, it didn’t make the controls any less fiddly. There is a tutorial to get you used to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 as you start your career as a RollerCoaster Tycoon, but it doesn’t cover everything from the off, although as you start to do new things in the game, more help does pop up which is nice. And there was so much that needed to be accessed and only a limited number of buttons to pin everything to. I mean, everything is so simple and easy when you’re on a keyboard and mouse, but porting the mechanics to work on a controller can be a pain in the rear for even the best developers. But that wasn’t before I had to get my head around fiddly controls. Sadly though, my worries of a PC port of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 came to fruition as instantly I came into contact with a few bugs. But it was a game built with simple pixels and sprites over 16 years ago, so maybe I was just expecting too much. Especially as I was expecting maybe some new graphical enhancements or features for the Switch. But in today’s world, for both the core game and the expansions, 3GB didn’t seem like a lot. Now, it’s an old game so graphics weren’t going to be the best, and I’m sure the file sizes will have been compressed to save space. However, I know that porting PC Games to console doesn’t always go so smoothly, especially with simulation and strategy games. And to see the game came with both the Soaked! and Wild! expansions was a pleasant surprise. It was an absolute beast of a game back in the day, and I spent many an hour creating theme parks of my own wild imagination. Hearing that the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was coming to Switch, I was very intrigued. But would that be the case for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition? With the game receiving a Switch port not too long ago, we decided to jump on this ride and find out for ourselves. Sometimes the newer versions can distort your nostalgic memories of all the good times you had previously. It’s always fantastic revisiting games from your childhood.
