The game’s also completely playable on the GamePad alone, so you don’t need to have the TV on, and there are other great unique features on Wii U as well. You can ride all your coasters and use various cameras, and in first-person mode if you hold your GamePad up you can look around the environment as you’re going along. You can also shake the GamePad from side-to-side to make your passengers vomit, if you so wish, and you can flick the GamePad up to eject them all too. A little ping and off they go!

NoE: People will obviously want to show off their coasters – how can they do that?

AW: All the plots, including the sandbox, have an online high score table where you can upload your creation and see how it compares with other players’ coasters from across the world. You can also download any other coaster from the leaderboard, ride it, and see what other people have done.

NoE: That’d be perfect if you want to get some tips or pointers.

AW: Absolutely. And if you want to cheat – er, I mean, get some inspiration – in the campaign mode then you can download the number one coaster and see what they’ve done. You can’t edit other players’ coasters, so nobody can mess with your creations, but you can rate coasters out of five stars and also gift in-game money if you think it’s a particularly good coaster.

NoE: And Miiverse would be a good opportunity for players to show off their coasters too, and add screenshots to their posts.

AW: Yep, and we’ll have a Miiverse community at launch, and I’ll try to get in there myself, interact with the players, and see if I can beat their high scores.
