While we're keen to play Shakedown Hawaii, the next game from Vblank Entertainment, the studio has confirmed that Nintendo Switch owners will be able to pass the time with its spiritual predecessor. Retro City Rampage DX is heading to the Switch eShop, and is aiming for release within the next few weeks (potentially as early as next week).

It's a game familiar to Nintendo gamers, having previously arrived on WiiWare and then in its DX form on the 3DS eShop. As you can see in the details and trailer below, the Switch version will have its own minor changes and adjustments.

Like each port before it, it contains little tweaks that polish the game even further (I just can't help myself!). From little things like the slightly more stylish score display, to improved enemy stomp and swimming controls, to improved lock-on targeting, and mission difficulty tweaks. If you couldn't beat Death Cam VHS before, you'll have a leg up on Switch!

As for Shakedown's release, don't worry! This surprise port hasn't lead to any sort of delays with that. If anything, this'll ensure that once ready, Shakedown gets through Nintendo Switch certification quickly, since our road's been paved by RCR:DX.

We've been big fans of this one's previous releases, so it could certainly be fun to experience it again on Switch. Are you planning to pick it up?
