If you've been holding off in hopes of grabbing a physical copy of Shakedown: Hawaii on Switch, it's almost time for your 'add to cart' button-pressing skills to shine.
The game's being treated to Standard and Collector's Edition releases, both of which will be going on sale at Vblank's website tomorrow. The Collector's Edition is limited to 4,000 copies and includes an exclusive mini figure of The CEO with a removable stand, a colour manual, and the game itself, of course.
The Standard Edition will be priced at $29.99, while the Collector's Edition will be available for $44.99. Make sure to head on over to Vblank's site at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK tomorrow to secure your copy.
If you haven't played this one before, it might be worth checking out our full review. We had some mixed feelings about it upon release:
Vblank Entertainment’s second GTA parody isn’t the close-to-perfect sequel we expected, but it’s still a decent game. Despite all of its numerous shortcomings, there’s still some fun to be had when you’re not toiling through menus, but it's hard not be disappointed when you consider VBlank's previous work; hopefully, like Retro City Rampage, we’ll see a better DX version in the future. As it stands, Shakedown: Hawaii is full of potential, but it’s overshadowed by monotony.
Shakedown: Hawaii has also just released on 3DS, becoming one of the final games to do so, we imagine. It's out now in North America and will be available on 26th September 26th in Europe.
Are you a fan of this one? Will you be picking up a physical copy? Let us know in the usual place.

Will try to order it tomorrow!
Looks cool, not played it yet but heard it really isn't very good.
Not for me. I enjoy having it digital. Small file size, and perfect to hop in amd out of. Good for those who enjoy this stuff though. I think it's very much worth noting also, that the game has received a couple of big updates since your review. Heres a link to the last one: https://www.vblank.com/20190711_sh_update.php
And the first: https://www.vblank.com/20190516_sh_update.php
Great game, but I won't be double dipping.. It's too short to warrant a second purchase, for me at least, but I strongly recommend it to those who haven't already bought it.
@kukabuksilaks are the updates adressing those issues ? Monotony, menus, etc ??
Didn't really enjoy the first one, maybe someone else will enjoy it.
@SenseiDje
I actually don't know, I completed it on launch day and haven't really played it since
I get the physcial collectors but if they screw around like the last release they had and pissed alot of buyers off they will get more rebuke again. I know because I tried and tried and complained to them and then guess what few weeks later it showed up on their Amazon seller account for $5 more then from their store. And they got plenty of complains of poor review on Amazon for it. Especially when they listed as SOLD OUT on their site.
@kukabuksilaks "I actually don't know, I completed it on launch day and haven't really played it since"
Are we talking about Switch? Don't recall a eShop for Switch but for 3DS so unless I heard wrong there wasn't one but for 3DS.
@SwitchForce
Yup, the Switch version
I hate the markup on these games
I have retro city physical, I need to this to go with it.
I wish the 3DS version was also getting a physical release. I'm not even sure I like this game, I just really want one last 3DS game to finish out the year. I suppose Persona Q2 is a good way to go out, but the last game coming out during the holiday season seems more appropriate.
Shipping 24 dollars to Europe? Nope, thank you. Even 45 dollars for the collectors edition really stretches the limit. I mean all that is there it a cheap plastic figurine and a 08/15 manual + box? Does this warrant 15 dollars more? I dont think so but to each their own. I might buy it if they sell it cheaper in a European Store or on Amazon but definitely not buying it in their store. 50 dollars for game + shipping would be the max I would pay for this.
This is one of the worst way to sell your product. Just minutes after it was suppose to open for sale, it just sold out. Like how? I just got a notice and then immediately went to their website and the standard freaking edition is already sold out and not available for purchase, only the collector's edition is available and there's no way I'm buying the game with those garbage. Even Limited Run games doesn't had this problem, was the game really that limited?
