Shakedown: Hawaii 3DS Physical Release Announced by Vblank Entertainment With Collector's Edition Bonuses

Vblank Entertainment, renowned for its commitment to physical media in the digital gaming era, has officially announced the release of physical copies for Shakedown: Hawaii on Nintendo 3DS.

This beloved sandbox title, developed by Brian Provinciano under the Vblank Entertainment banner, draws inspiration from classic top-down Grand Theft Auto games, featuring a striking 16-bit retro aesthetic.

Previously available digitally across a wide array of platforms—including Nintendo Switch and the now-closed 3DS eShop—Shakedown: Hawaii has garnered acclaim for its nostalgic yet modern gameplay. The upcoming 3DS physical release is slated for Monday, November 6, 2023, providing fans and collectors another chance to own this distinctive title in cartridge form.

Vblank Entertainment will offer two versions for purchase: a standard edition limited to 3,000 copies, and a Collector's Edition also capped at 3,000 units. The standard version is priced at $29.99 and will include the physical Nintendo 3DS game cartridge and an illustrated instruction manual.

For those seeking additional bonuses, the Collector's Edition, retailing at $49.99, comes bundled with an exclusive soundtrack CD and a collectible action figure of Shakedown: Hawaii’s main character.

Both editions highlight Vblank’s ongoing dedication to supporting the collector community and the enduring appeal of tangibly owning games in an increasingly digital marketplace. Brian Provinciano, founder of Vblank Entertainment, has consistently prioritized high-quality physical releases for his games.

Shakedown: Hawaii previously made headlines for its rare physical launches on classic Nintendo hardware, including the Wii and Wii U—demonstrating Vblank’s passion for preserving gaming history. Players interested in securing their copy of Shakedown: Hawaii for Nintendo 3DS, particularly those who missed the title before it was delisted from the eShop, should act promptly due to the limited availability of both editions.

The release offers another opportunity for gamers to experience this celebrated title, whether they value collectible items, soundtrack memorabilia, or simply the tactile satisfaction of physical media. Shakedown: Hawaii continues to stand out as a must-play sandbox game on Nintendo's platforms, and Vblank Entertainment’s latest announcement underlines the studio’s deep connection to its player base and retro gaming culture.
