Vblank Entertainment is readying a physical release for Shakedown: Hawaii on 3DS, the company just revealed. Copies will be available on November 6, 2023.

Fans will be able to choose between a standard version or collector’s edition – both will see 3,000 units each produced. The collector’s edition includes the cartridge, manual, CEO action figure (with accessory), and a soundtrack CD. Note that copies will only work on a North American 3DS system – the device is region-locked unlike Switch. 

Shakedown: Hawaii previously came to the 3DS eShop in 2019. A year later, Wii and Wii U versions were released – you can read about that here.

Below is an overview of the game:

Shakedown: Hawaii follows three protagonists through a 16-bit open world. Build your own “legitimate” corporation by completing missions, acquiring businesses, sabotaging competitors, “re-zoning” land, and shaking down shops for protection money.

Explore the island by foot, by car, or by boat. It’s filled with arcade challenges, sidequests, stores to shop at, houses to burgle, civilians to interact with, and secrets to discover.

You begin your adventure as an aging CEO, struggling to make sense of the modern world. Online shopping killed his retail stores, ride sharing his taxi business, and streaming his video stores. To save the company, he’ll need to learn the “methods” of modern business, and use them to rebuild his empire.

The entire island is up for grabs… or at least, could be with the right business model.

It’s business in the front, and bodies in the back… in Shakedown: Hawaii.

Pre-orders for the Shakedown: Hawaii 3DS physical release start on November 6, 2023. Copies will be sold here.
