EA has closed its Japanese development studio, currently working on the DS version of Theme Park. Don't worry though, it seems as though the game is finished and ready to ship.
Word comes from 1UP who quotes a source as saying, "When we were developing for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and things weren't going smoothly, I had my worries -- but ever since we switched our focus to the Nintendo DS, things seemed to be going well."
So what's the problem? "After almost three years in existence, the only game to come out of EA Japan was Theme Park DS, which only took about a half-year to develop since it was a port. So, yeah, that wasn't a great track record."
Ea has yet to respond to the reports.
