Shakedown Hawaii, the spiritual successor to Retro City Rampage, will arrive on Nintendo Switch this April as a timed exclusive. Previously, the game was confirmed to be in development for PS4, PSV, and Windows PC.
Retro City Rampage first released on PC in late 2012. Since then it has been ported to several platforms, including PS3, PSV, Xbox 360, Wii, 3DS, and iOS. Shakedown Hawaii takes place 30 years after the events in Retro City, and features similar run-and-gun gameplay in an open world.

looks like a blast : o
Not entirely sure why this game in particular was identified as one worth making timed exclusive. But it does seem like a game with a good fit on Switch. Perhaps Nintendo had to make them an offer they couldn't refuse to get development resources put onto Switch.
Looks even more fun than City Rampage
This is a great honor. Switch fans will be pleased. Gorgeous next gen gaming right here folks.
I laughed. Still giving you a thumb down though.
Kinda pulling the rug out from under people, no?
how so?, the other two have pulled this kind of stunt before, some even going towards full exclusivity.
They're normally up front about it from the start, though; games aren't usually announced for several platforms and then the news later popped that first it'll be locked to a completely different platform.
That's true, but the end deal is that it's a timed exclusive one, the same type of deal that the others have made before, not the way of going about it per say, but the deal in general.
