Shakedown: Hawaii is a 2019 open world action-adventure video game developed by Canadian studio Vblank Entertainment. Like its predecessor Retro City Rampage, it is a parody of multiple subjects, including retro games, 1980s pop culture, manipulative business practices, and Grand Theft Auto and similar games. It was originally released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Windows, followed by a Nintendo 3DS port. In 2020, it was ported both to a number of legacy consoles, including Wii, Wii U and PlayStation 3, both digitally and physically; Shakedown: Hawaii was the last official game release for those platforms. In addition, a physical version of the 3DS port was released later in November 2023.
