I wonder if Atari is ever going to bring its Mobile games over to the VCS

[The Helper]

Atari has a bunch of games in the mobile space such as Castles and Catapults, Atari Combat Tank, Roller Coaster Tycoon 4, Citytopia and Days of Doom that imho, should all come over to the VCS.

 

There is an RPG in there with Days of Doom.

I'd like to see that as well! I know Atari partnered with WonderOS which I believe *could perhaps* provide an environment for mobile games on the VCS (I hope, though idk if that's why Atari partnered with them). Hopefully there's an announcement soon regarding proposed titles to the VCS such as the Tempest 4000 port and the Rollercoaster Tycoon port. I enjoyed the game Pong Quest by Atari on Steam and was a little surprised this game and others like the ones you mentioned weren't available by June 2021 when the VCS console first officially launched (in the U.S.). Imagine an Atari console system without both Centipede and Rollercoaster Tycoon?

It seems like they are keeping the modern Atari games apart from the VCS to keep it a retro console.  I think that is a mistake.  They should just be shoving content into the VCS so that owners have something to do.  They should not waste the development they made on those mobile games they would all work on the VCS imho.

Agree totally. Ninja Golf, Avicii, Castles and Catapults, and the RC Tycoon games would all work amazingly IMO and be great adds. I got the VCS expecting those to be launched on it eventually, and was disappointed they weren't on it. A huge opportunity missing.

In their financial reports, they do plan on bringing Citytopia, Days of Doom, and Mob Empire to PC/consoles.

I should have been more specific, I was talking about the Beats Legend game on mobile that donates money to his charity. It's entertaining and I thought there was a port playable on PS4.

They also mention bringing Roller Coaster Tycoon and Tempest 4000 to the VCS, so it should only be a matter of when.

I had lots of fun with Lunar Battle on my Android device several years ago. I'd like to see that one come over. I remember a presentation from a few years back showing it was to be ported over to PC. I guess they had a change of plans. 

 

They should consider porting over Yars' Revenge: First War. I always thought that game was a perfect evolution of the original's gameplay.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Atari brings their mobile games to the VCS. I love Rollercoaster Tycoon; it would be a day 1 purchase for me.
