Shakedown Hawaii definitely looks interesting, both from an action perspective and by the way it seems to be handling capitalism. Plus, playing Retro City Rampage DX on Switch is a great way to get ready for the game’s sequel, Shakedown Hawaii, which is coming to Switch as well. Since there still are not a lot of offerings on the Switch (hell I still play the Vita way more, but that could just be me) this a great chance to try out an indie that may have been missed on another console. The version coming to Switch is the enhanced version, meaning the game has just gotten better over time. Not going to lie, I’m pretty bummed that I missed out on their DOS and Vita releases. Development team, Vblank Entertainment Inc, clearly have a love for all things retro and that shows in the game and the various ways they offer it online. Retro City Rampage has been in the indie players’ mindset since 2012, where it was well-received and ported to just about every system. Imagine if the the first Grand Theft Auto had stayed in the pixelated art style instead of moving on to huge 3D cities, Sasquatch mysteries, and doing crazy stunts that shouldn’t be possible, but yet they are and make for a production killing two hours of time wasted. Switch players may have just received another reason to load up the E-Shop, as Retro City Rampage DX is now available. The Switch is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to enjoy retro-inspired games, especially if Neo-Geo games are a favorite.
