Natsume has announced that is has launched A-Train: City Simulator on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America, with the game officially launching on 16th April in Europe and Australia.Developed by Artdink, A-Train: City Simulator is a cross between a social experience and a deeply involved city building simulator with a heavy emphasis on keeping a town connected and its transportation flowing smoothly. However, doing so comes with challenges: players will need to balance their budgets, as well as the wants and needs of the people using the systems. Bottlenecks and frustrated citizens must be avoided if the transportation system is going to truly work for the people.
Natsume feels strongly in providing players with unique gaming experiences, so when we got the opportunity to bring A-Train: City Simulator to 3DS gamers, we were totally on board! The game isn't just about trains. It is a complete transportation and city simulation experience with very in-depth gameplay and attention to detail which Artdink is well known for.- Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume.As the new head of transportation, players will see the real results of their work. They can construct new buildings to support additional growth for bus routes and subway services, export goods to make money, and even build an airport. As time passes in-game, gamers will have the option to upgrade their technology, moving from steam-powered trains to high-powered electric ones.
