Developer Brian Provinciano announced today that the action-adventure title Shakedown: Hawaii will come to Wii and WiiU this summer. The Wii and WiiU versions, both physical, include all of the currently released content and feature updates, including the Mogul Update, the Full Tank Update, and the many other little tweaks, improvements, and optimizations that went into the game post-launch.
Both versions will also allow players to experience the game in an old-school 4:3 aspect ratio.
The Wii version supports both 50hz and 60hz, and both NTSC and PAL output. It supports the Wii Remote (with shake), Wii Classic Controller, Wii Classic Controller Pro, and GameCube Controller. Furthermore, Provinciano boasted in his original announcement that the Wii version will experience no disc load times during gameplay. "Once the game boots, you're in!"
The WiiU version, meanwhile, supports both SD and HD, 4:3 and 16:9. It works with the WiiU GamePad, WiiU Pro Controller, Wii Remote, Wii Classic Controller, or Wii Classic Controller Pro. It can be played entirely on the GamePad (with touch), or on the TV from the comfort of your couch.
The Wii version will launch on Thursday, July 9 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK for $29.99 USD. It's limited to 3,000 copies, so Provinciano suggests subscribing to email notifications to ensure you don't miss it. The WiiU and Steam versions will follow in August.

2020 is sure one crazy year and were only heading to the 2nd half.
Errr..... what?
9th Gen consoles are on the verge of release and they port a game to a 7th Gen console, and the only discontinued 8th Gen console. Even Just Dance doesn’t release on the Wii anymore.
what year is it?
....Why? Is it some kind of promise the developer made, or even a kind of weird taste for old games?
From what I’ve read, the lead developer likes to challenge himself by trying to get his game to run on old systems. When he succeeds, he looks to see if there is a means to release it. As Nintendo of Europe is still able to make Wii disc, he was able to. Nintendo of America don’t though and with the Wii online store shutdown he then made a Wii U port so he could release it in North America.
What a crazy fucking year man lmao
How? Wii and Wii U won't fully die.
Curious to see how this will sell. Having the full attention of a small user base could still be lucrative.
Probably capped at 3000 units as that seems to be the size of the print run for the Wii. Likely going to be collectors who snap it up.
lmao, so they'll do this, for two old platforms, but they couldn't release it on Steam, because of one crappy contract...
The better question is "why not"?
