NICE TRY

Agreed

I was like oh cool simcity 3, about to buy and then seen the price... wtf

True. My first complaint was that it looked they wanted to charge $60 for a 3ds game port, but then Japanese Otaku are used to paying out the nose for their hobbies. I wouldn't be surprised if this was even more expensive for the original 3ds version and probably had a bunch of dlc...

And it's $19.99 on 3DS with English.

Unlike OPENTTD A-Train 3D is much more about management on a smaller scale. You usually have one region to work on with micromanaging the various cities and districts in each. This allows you to more fine tune your transportation as you have to account for weekends, holidays, and peak hours for people and maximizing profits when carrying cargo where it's usually not efficient to run your trains every day of the week. It's more of an hour to hour game then a day by day game like OPENTTD.

Seriously it.

For complex rail buiding and city design A-Train far surpasses OpenTTD with multi-story and underground rail options, as well as custom building placements. Map maker & scenario maker are big features I would pay for if available for OpenTTD or Simutrans, both of which I also love. Lack of path signals in this version of A-Train is a bummer, though. By the way, the original A-Train (1985) to A-Train 3 (1993) inspired the Transport Tycoon (1994), which in turn inspired OpenTTD so this game series is the mother of all.

All i know it's at such overpriced game we must already have english included.

If not, you have to include as well training cost to learn japanese.

even I japanese,think→verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry expensive!

A $3.99 game for $60. A sucker is born ever day I gess.

Even if it is more complex than TTD, not 55€ worth more complex.
I mean come on, even if the game had really nice 3D graphics of this day and age while maintaining its depth and complexity, it barely would be worth 55€. Thats GTA V or Prey level of quality for that price and even for those i pay a lower amount of cash.
And this is a 2D isometric management game with what seems like not really actual technology being used, charging 55€ lacking basic features. Like multiplayer, a thing that OTTD has, with mods on top.

This should be a $10 dollar game. These poeple are on some serious drugs

$30 on 3DS store for anybody who cares. Just as complex/fun/etc.

Add to this the fact that Natsume (the publisher of the 3DS version) offer discounts at special occasions, therefore it's possible to buy this game for less than 30 $.
