Theme Park Is Coming To the Nintendo DS!

Theme Park Is Coming To the Nintendo DS! Posted by HCG Paco | Filed under News

You may be wondering why we have the new trailer for Theme Park featured on a site that counts the days until the next blood-ridden gorefest is released. But, if you think that Theme Park and The Hardcore Gamer don’t scream “match made in heaven” then you have never played Theme Park. The original theme park, before they brought all the crappy 3-D elements to the series, was a masterpiece and we couldn’t be more happy that they are bringing the original, untouched masterpiece to the DS.

Nothing could be more fun than building the biggest, baddest rollercoaster you can think of, only to put an ice cream stand in front of the queue and put no bathrooms in the park. Nothing says hardcore like a giant crowd of children vomiting in unison.

Here’s to hoping that the under-rated Theme Hospital is next on the list of sim ports to the DS. Because frankly, there has never been a platform more suited to sims and rts, than the DS.

Product Description
