Shakedown: Hawaii is coming to.... Wii and Wii U

[Klappdrachen]

I like this guy doing this. More developers should make ports for dead systems, it's fun. If I was in Europe I would buy this game to support this craziness.

Yep, it's really cool. I actually want both versions now, lol.

I let Axiom Verge slip through my fingers during the femtosecond of time that Limited Run Games had it available, I'll try to not let that happen again.

Edit: Dang, Wii U release isn't until August.

Do we know for sure if Just Dance 2021 is finally skipping the Wii?

 

[Lord Fanny]

Is there a typo there? It says June 9 is when it goes live, is it supposed to be July 9?

Just Dance 2020 launched yesterday for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and, remarkably, Nintendo's two-generation-ol…

Website has me a bit confused.

The Wii release if physical and is PAL regions only?

The Wii U is physical as well and available in both NTSC and PAL regions?

While it still feels like yesterday, it's been nearly 14 years since the Wii launched. Although we've still seen some Wii releases over the past few years, seeing one more wasn't a given. Indeed, despite my best efforts, it just wasn't in cards anymore, at least, not for North America. However, as luck would have it, the doors hadn't quite closed yet with Nintendo of Europe, so it was still able see a release! Words truly can't express how appreciative I am, and I can't thank them enough for all the heavy lifting they did on their end to make it a reality. It's meant the world to me, and these Wii discs specifically hold an immense place in my heart.

As incredibly as it all worked out, unfortunately, Wii discs aren't region-free, and I didn't want North American players to be left out. Although I continued talks with NOA, floating around a Plan B, Plan C... Plan Z, sadly, every idea hit a wall. The clock was ticking, and after exhausting all other options, I decided to pivot to the next best thing: the Wii U. After all, the Wii U still supported Wii Remotes, Wii Classic Controllers, and even 4:3! So, I rushed against time to port Shakedown: Hawaii to Wii U as well, and get it through certification before that door could close too!

I want to thank everyone at Nintendo for all the support, and everyone there who helped make these possible. To the lotcheck teams, thank you, thank you!

Is this Europe only? I'll get the wii version if it's in the US.

Wii version is EU only, Wii U in both regions.

Was one of my favourite games last year. Was pretty easy but I didn't mind that. Made me laugh too.

Because the Wii U is fucking awesome and don't you forget it.

 

[TameLucas]

So, it's coming to Wii and Wii U before Xbox One.

That's sad. I really wanted to play this game, but now I guess it'll never come to Xbox.

Wii more viable than XB1, confirmed.

 

[Laserbeam]

I can't believe I'm so tempted to get a Wii copy just to have.

 

[DarkLegion]

I still know people who have the Wii connected as their main console

 

[Clive]

Is PSP certification dead now? Pretty sure Retro City Rampage was the latest PSP game in the west so he already has made the last game for that console.

Oh, what the.. I was almost certain that he released Shakedown Hawaii on XO. Since he rather port it to Wii, I'd guess he has some beef with MS.

He says no dev kits, probably had dev kits for Wii/U. Can't say I blame him, it's super late in the game to want to get one now.

 

[Weltall Zero]

in the end just dance 2020 couldn't be the last game released for the wii.

Click to shrink...

Indeed it won't. But neither will Shakedown: Hawaii.

Edit: Wait, disregard, apparenrly that's a fanmade announcement of a non-existent game. Just Dance fans are weird.

Wasn't the thing with XO that every console can be used as a devkit? Sure, maybe he doesn't have a XO at all but...

...wow. i'm shocked just dance has a fanon wiki.

 

[Stopdoor]

I assume it's implied this will be releasing digitally on Wii U as well, so at least one version will be easily available?

 

[super etrian odyssey]

in some alternate reality where i simply stopped buying game consoles post wii u, this news would make me so fucking happy. i wonder if there's someone out there like that.

i think this news is kind of adorable. wii u deserves another good game.

 

[JangleLuke]

As a recent novice Wii collector, this really piques my interest.

It would make for... a fine addition to my collection.

 

[RowdyReverb]

I think Brian Provinciano just really likes porting his games to as many platforms as possible. Just look at Retro City Rampage. It's on

• Windows
• PlayStation 3
• PlayStation 4
• PlayStation Vita
• PlayStation Portable
• Xbox 360
• Wii
• Nintendo 3DS
• Nintendo Switch
• Nintendo Entertainment System (kinda)
• OS X
• Linux
• MS-DOS!
• iOS
• Android

The weirdest part is that Shakedown: Hawaii is coming to Wii and Wii U before Xbox One, Mac, or mobile

Yeah. He released a PSP case of RCR, but there is no game inside.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Shows it's limited to 3000 on Wii, do we know if it will be the same on Wii U? I will need to get it for my Wii U set do hope it's not difficult to preorder.

 

[garion333]

Aaaaand now I'm gonna buy that Wii version.

 

[Clive]

He released the game on PSP digitally. I don't think anything has released since then but I haven't actually read anywhere that certification has ended.

Wow, might buy the Wii version. Just because it's such a bizarre release.

Wii means life.

why does the Wii version get flowers next to the title? What about feature parity!

Time to pull out them Wiimotes

Physical Wii U game? I wonder if it'll show up in Scott the Woz's videos lol

I'm surprised there are even factories out there which still print these disks.

 

[henlo_birb]

I love to see stuff like this.

 

[Hogger]

This is badass. We stan.

 

[gravitationsfeld]

Vblank does that all the time. He likes porting stuff to old platforms. I don't think it's to make money.

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

Once again, no wonder he needed the EGS cash when he is busy porting the game to non-profitable platforms. He really wants all of his games to be on every single platform huh. Really cool that he got to make the last retail Wii game though.

Wii U, undoubtedly. Wii? Just Dance 2021 still hasn't launched.
