Theme Park Simulator Launches April 17th For Nintendo Switch

Badland Publishing and Best Ride Simulators announced that Theme park Simulator will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch via digital download from the eShop starting April 17th, 2020. The spring treat will allow you to manage and control a number of different theme park attractions in full 3D and with added use of the Nintendo Switch’s touchscreen controls.

There are 11 different theme park rides that you’ll be able to manage, including the speed, the direction, the movement patterns, and even how many customers are allowed on each ride.

They listed the various attractions you’ll be able to manage over on the official website, which you can check out below:

  • Ferris Wheel
  • Bumper Cars
  • Inverter
  • Tagada
  • Amor Express
  • Wild Mouse
  • Twister
  • Tokaido
  • Viking Ship
  • Techno Jump
  • Kamikaze.

But talking about the rides is completely different from seeing them in action. A launch trailer was rolled out to give you a look at what Theme Park Simulator looks like in action and how it will play.

The trailer has a bunch of downvotes, likely because Badland Publishing isn’t known for producing quality games, and they were also involved in the whole Axiom Verge fiasco where they owed them $200,000 from a distribution deal that fell through. After enough public backlash they eventually acquiesced and said they would pay the debt owed to the Axiom Verge developers.

Then again, maybe people are just uninterested in a game about managing a theme park?

You will get to actually play through some of the rides, though, such as manually engaging in the bumper car game using the Joy-Cons in TV mode or the touchscreen controls while playing in portable mode.

You can look for Theme Park Simulator go live as a digital only release on April 17th.
