Shakedown Hawaii is one of the very last commercial releases on Wii, published in 2020 long after the console was abandoned, making it a historical curiosity marking the format's end of life. A very limited physical run for a title issued outside any official cycle, it draws collectors fascinated by these late editions that artificially extend the catalogue of a dead machine.
Is Shakedown - Hawaii still worth playing in 2026?
An open world action game from Vblank, Shakedown - Hawaii adopts a retro top down view inspired by the early GTAs, where you play an unscrupulous businessman building a criminal and commercial empire through absurd missions, firefights, races and company buyouts on a sunny island. The satirical humour, the freedom of the sandbox and the pixel art charm appeal to fans of uninhibited old school action. The deliberately retro production and a certain mission padding divide. For a fan of retro open world action or someone curious about satire, the title keeps a preserved humour and freedom.
