Hospital Tycoon hoping to keep you in stitches this spring

Yet another Tycoon game will be on shelves this spring once Hospital Tycoon has shipped. In this game you have to manage a bustling hospital, coordinate the staff, try to get the funds for new equipment, and "watch out for the spread of infectious conditions like "Monkey Nuts" or "Stress Zombosis", or you'll soon have an epidemic plunging the hospital into absolute chaos."Trust us, we definitely don't want to come down with something called "Monkey Nuts." Check out the trailer for the game after the jump. It looks a tad like Scrubs meets The Sims, with a slight dose of Disorderlies thrown in. We just want to know when Tycoon Tycoon is coming out, so you can be a tycoon in charge of making new tycoons, and then corralling the tycoons, and making sure they tycoon.

If this is anything like Theme Hospital, well, it'll be fucking awesome.
If this is anything like any of the _______ Tycoon games (aside from Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo tycoon), well, it'll fucking suck.

Tycoon Tycoon is already a TV show called "The Apprentice."

Is that a picture of the DISORDERLIES?
Damn! Now all the crappy 80's movies are popping up in my head.
Shit, House Party (JUMPS OFF A BRIDGE!)

Those character models are totaly gross looking.
You would have to pay me money to look at this game for more than five minutes.

The Fat Boys are back,
and you know they can never be wack.

Theme Hospital was one of my favorite old school games. This game looks like it borrows a lot from it (the puking, at least) so i have high hopes for it!

@ 6:
Better not be a shot at Dr. Cox! The man is a GOD!...
Tell me the cover of that game at the end of the video doesn't look like JD, Turk and Elliot...
When it did the zoom out and showed all the rooms in the hospital, I immediately shouted "Theme Hospital!!!!!11one" This may be the first Tycoon game I at least demo.

Is there a level where you have to get enough robes and chicken broth to warm up the AIDS patients? That would be the bees knees!

I hope they don't forget about us Respiratory Therapists

yeah we saw this 10 years ago, it was called "Theme Hospital"

I'm pretty sure it's a House reference. And it's not a shot at him, even. The character is literally lame.
And, yeah, this game looks like a total TH ripoff. No complaints about that, though. I just won major brownie points with my girlfriend for telling her that there's a new game in the "Theme Hospital" genre. ^_^

Everywhere I have seen this there is no mention of Theme Hospital - it looks exactly the same - except despite the 3d graphics, it still looks far less charming than the 2d graphics of Bullfrog's classic.
I wonder if this will have Bloaty Head?

The Fat Boys movie...
HAHAHAHAHAHA...
yeah, I'm old.
